I agree with what your saying, I'm just pointing out that recruiting most likely isn't a binary process regarding the allocation of time and resources. I agree that LSU put a bigger focus on other targets, but I just don't believe his offer was totally pulled. He would have been a fine addition to the class.



Well offers are almost never "pulled" they just cool on guys, and those guys tend to just get the hint. You generally try not to burn bridges by rescinding offers, you just, like you said, put your focus elsewhere. We didnt contact Clifford Chattman for like 2 months before he decommitted, didnt rescind the offer, just gave him the "we no longer want you" hint. Manuel wasn't a commit like Chattman but he got the same kind of hint with no contact because we focused attention elsewhere.

Shavar is a good prospect. He's more of a top 150 than top 50 player right now. He will really benefit when he gets in the S&C program. He looked good UA week and most of the reporters said his weight loss was noticeable and he had some of his pre injury explosion back. It's a nice pickup for UF.

Big time!

Spin it how you want LSU fans, but this is an elite prospect that Florida just landed.

LSU fans, I have not heard any of grade issues from UF sites. Where are you getting this info?
