Lane will be drinking the mud of the state of Florida's recruiting river

It's a well known fact that some of the best recruits in college football come from the great state of Florida. From prep schools of Tampa, Orlando, and Miami to the cane fields of Belle Glade and Pahokee, Florida's talent pool is deep.

However, unlike my hate of Georgia, the talent is not unlimited. While Lane might be able to recruit Boca Condo Cougars, getting talent to FAU will be tougher than a two dollar steak. Most of the recruits that will be willing to play for Joey Saltwater will likely have to come from the South Florida area. And that area of the Gunshine State has been and will be gutted by other programs with better connections.

Consider this, Kiffy is going to be going up against McElwain, who, with help from Randy Shannon has been getting great players from St. Thomas Aquinas, Booker T. Washington, etc. USF just hired Charlie Strong, Mark Richt is down at the U, and of course, Butch freaking Davis just got hired at FAU's de facto rival school: Florida International. Coupled with the facts that FSU, Bama, and other schools have the panhandle and other parts of Flo Rida on lock, and that Auburn and Georgia have cornered off the penal market, Lane is going to have a rough time for a few years before he will get the talent he needs.

But he will have an ample opportunity to power up his nose and smoke like Bob. So he's got that going for him now. Which is nice.
