I make a distinction between "marketing" and "recruiting." Personally, I have no problem with schools doing open houses, group tours, etc. with the ability to emphasize, instead of ignore, athletics. If Public High School wants to have an open house and invite any kid in the county to attend, I'm fine with that. And, quite frankly, the only schools that likely will object are the ones that don't have the resources to do even that or the private schools that are already doing it. As part of "marketing," schools also could tout their athletic programs via social media - which they already do to a certain extent. But, they could take it a step further in my mind. I do have a problem with recruiting by schools and coaches. I recognize the practical reality of trying to police kids talking up their program/coaches with their peers. I look at recruiting as an effort by a school or coach to target a specific kid who is not otherwise zoned to attend that particular school. That's where I draw the line.

I think his leadership helped Denver achieve what they did that season- not his ability.

@Jambun82 @SportsNut25was just putting the thread together for me, which is 1,000% appreciated. All those graphics and tweets being put together was done by yours truly here. Being a member of the FWAA allows me to get access deep into the College Press Box Portals to do this and put together graphics like this and graphics that are properly formatted for the three social platforms all through one single template that I have. No easy task. At one point I was backed up getting graphics out at the end of the 4th round because we had back-to-back-to-back picks. It can be stressful especially if you make one little mistake. But I have fun tracking and doing this each year and have done it each year basically since I launched the website in 2010. Eventually I will go back and research the history of past drafts to put together a more comprehensive list of where these guys came from that have played in the NFL from Florida or at least have been drafted.

Very excited to see the legislature reverse course -- granted, some of them blamed it on a "glitch". NIL date for Florida will be July 1, 2021 after all. Key notes from SI: - NCAA verbally pledged this morning they will not penalize any FL athletes regarding NIL - FL legislature passed legislation today that says if the NCAA penalizes FL institutions or players over state laws that FL schools will not be allowed to use state funds to pay for NCAA membership. Punishment includes relocation of championship events. The FL institutions may also be asked by the State to withdraw from the NCAA.
