    I have them currently just outside the top 50 but I will keep an eye on them as they could get a spot into the rankings with a good start to the season

    IDK where I'll have them yet but it'll likely be inside the top 50.

    Yea Zander is good player but the problem I have with palmetto is there coaching it’s up and down and they dnt no how to finish games

    Their coaching staff definitely catches some heat locally. I give the HC credit for keeping the local kids at home and not letting Manatee have their pick of the litter like the previous 30 years prior.

    I may have underestimated them initially but I feel my final position for them was fair but I also didn't have any sources from that area to ask (at least I didn't think I did until later on) but what teams should I be watching for in that area?

    I may have been selling Palmetto a little short for this upcoming year. Just found out they'll have a freshmen QB that was a starter at Bradenton Christian as a 7th and 8th grader. He led them to the state semis in the christian division. I saw the kids highlights last year but didn't know he had transferred to Palmetto. Sounds like he played really well in the recent 7 on 7 tourney for Palmetto. Zander Smith is the kids name.

    It wasn't that I wasn't aware of them, I just felt you were overinflating them and their performance against Lincoln proved it to me and I wasn't overly impressed with their competition level as it's basically tied to how good that area of the state is which is decent but not overly strong and the only team they played during the season in a different area of the state (ironically weaker area than Palmetto normally plays in) they got blasted 

    Palmetto certainly laid an egg against Lincoln. But that Lincoln team took Edgewater to 2OT in the playoffs. Wasn't like Lincoln was some pushover.

    I'm still gathering the facts on all of the area teams. At this point, I'd say Venice should make a serious run at the 8A crown. Other than that, give me a couple of weeks to get more intel. I don't like to make any kind of predictions or give off false assumptions on teams without knowing all of the facts.

    I see some good talent including a 3* Alabama commit but I wouldn't say loaded at least based on what is reported on their team profile but in all fairness I don't think many transfers statewide have been updated to their team so if they have picked up a bunch of transfers they may have more players who may get listed in August

    Yea, give a month for 247 to get their updated roster info. I think they have four other kids not listed on the 2022 page.

    I'm gonna guess palmetto also loaded again and if I don't have them in the top 10 of Florida I must be clueless? LMAO

    Palmetto isn't as strong this year as they have been the last two seasons. They should still be solid but I'm not sure if they'll make my top 25 yet. And you were clueless about Palmetto LMAO. They had Miami Central on the ropes in the state semis in 2019 but couldn't get out of their own way. 

  7. A good friend and I usually pick one game every week to go to between Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, and Polk counties. Here's our tentative 2021 schedule:

    8-27: Plant City @ Tampa Tech

    9-3: Edgewater @ Venice

    9-10: Bloomingdale @ Jesuit

    9-17: Lakeland @ Lake Gibson

    9-24: Osceola(Kiss) @ Manatee

    10-1: Tampa Catholic @ Berkley Prep

    10-8: Apopka @ Lakeland

    10-15: Braden River @ CCC

    10-22: Wiregrass Ranch @ Armwood

    10-29: Gaither @ Hillsborough

    11-5: Tampa Catholic @ Jesuit

    Vero lucks out again!

     

    Maurice Smith, Jr. transferred from Fort Pierce Westwood to Vero Beach and has shown plenty to become a force with his strong arm and athleticism.

    I just watched his Hudl tape. Looks like a good pick up for VB.

    In Polk County, which I follow closest, it appears there is more talent dispersion than in the recent past. Lake Gibson is at least as loaded as Lakeland, if not more

    My thoughts exactly. As a whole, Polk seems to be as loaded as ever with talent. It's still April, so we could still see some kids shuffle around this summer. I do think Lake Gibson probably has the talent to win state though. They'd still need to get over that Palmetto Hump and then find a way to beat MC. Easier said then done lol.

    FIFY 

     

    Truthfully when I look at the matchups I can see a few decent ones but really outside of maybe 8a the only matchup I really see of true balance is the 3a game

     

    Sure 7a could end up being competitive if things go in Edgewater favor but if things go south quick who knows 

    That's fair. I wouldn't count the underdogs out, but I also wouldn't bet on them either.
