Florida's Top 15 Senior RB's & WR's-Where Are They Going?


OldSchoolLion

Recommended Posts

It appears the vast majority will likely be leaving the stateKenny McIntosh, one of the state's top RB's, just made a hard commit to Georgia.  He had offers from FSU, Miami and UF.  At this point, it appears the Big 3 may only land one of the top 15 senior rb's in Florida.  As a comparison, 8 of the top 10 rb's in Texas are committed to Texas universities(all except #2 and #6)

What's ironic is that a number of these players are committed to schools in the ACC and SEC outside Florida that could help their teams beat the FL universities in conference play.  

Opinions anyone?

Just curious where you got your rankings from? Hard sell not to have Veros Demarcus Harris on the WR list, back to back 1,000 yard and double digit TD seasons. Committed before the season to KY, But had offers from UM, UF, UCF, TN, VT, BC and a ton others. Here’s his stats below:

Catches/yards/tds 

2017:43/1001/11    83.4ypg/23.3ypc

2018: 63/1463/16  133ypg/23.2ypc

247...as you know, once you get past the top 5-10, you could toss probably coss a toin.

That’s crazy that J. Washington (PK) doesn’t have any Florida (FSU, UM, UF, UCF, USF, FAU, FIU) offers...Just as crazy, that he was on (and got hurt) on kickoff COVERAGE!

Last year, the Gators went after the #1rb in Georgia and FSU went after #2. 

Between 2000-2017, only 4 qb's who played their high school ball in Florida were the primary qb starter at one of the Big 3 FL universities during their senior years.

I believe that practices such as these are in some way contributing to their inability to keep some of the best talent here in FL.

I think most schools (especially the Power 5 Fla schools) chase stars and rely on recruiting services, rather than evaluating and developing talent. There are alot of kids in this state that should be staying put, but since they didn't go to the right camp or maybe they're an inch to short, they get passed on...I see that a lot at PK. 

As an FSU fan, I really liked the Miami teams that they had when they were coming off probation. Not a lot of 4/5 star rated kids, but they identified talent that fit their scheme and developed them when they got on campus.

As a canes fan I agree with this! Like we was going hard for Kenny McIntosh but imo he’s ok RB.. I’ll take Nayquan Wright over him every day of the week n twice on Fridays but we ain’t getting him either smh....

I can see Jalen Mitchell at UCF and Rashean Lynn at UF. But I could honestly see them going out of state as well. They both have multiple offers including Power 5 schools out of the state.

I know the Canes have been pushing hard for Cocoa ATH Caziah Holmes. He's a junior and just pulled in an offer from Ohio State. He's pretty solid on the U tho. Especially since they started look at him more on the offensive side instead of defense now.

    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy
