he literally announced today on twitter, or instagram, that his decision would be on ENSD. we all know he's picking Texas, but it's a bit disrespectful to take this kid's moment away from him like this.

Would be great if this ends up backfiring on them.

Longhorns Country on Sports Illustrated broke the news, too, but they ended up changing the article.

I hate it for Florida because it happens all the time but anytime a previously committed player sets another announcement date it is usually not good news for their current team

i don't really know what he's waiting on. if he's going to flip, just flip already. we already know he's going to so just do it.

I said the entire time even at “#3” that the class was never going to finish inside the top 8. I maintained that throughout the only thing I’m surprised on is lagway sticking at least till now.

Telling the ones who can change it requires way more than making a nice life for yourself. To take on the bull gator old guard and team foley u prob need to be a actively engaged billionaire not a millionaire, I’m not a billionaire lol

There’s been no positives since the admin got in a behind the scenes pissing contest with Mullen though. This class was never going to finish where some of you desperately wanted it to

that's like one of those recruits from the state of Florida trying to get their dad a job at the university he committed to.


i forget who that was. maybe it was Rashada? i don't know.

Yea I'm sure it had nothing to do with Texas needing to fill the position or their 12-1 records while Florida fails to make a bowl game for the second straight year

Xavier Filsaime - "I don't think people understand how committed I actually am." on his commitment status to Florida.

that was 2 months ago

a month ago via Instagram live "I ain't goin' no where."

And in the last month:

Florida finished 5-7
Texas punches a ticket to the playoff

Recruiting is very fickle, I agree with you there, but what do you expect him to say? "Yea the team I committed to isn't great right now and I'm looking at other places." You and I both know he'd be slammed twice as hard.

Considering money is a part of every recruitment in this day and age, I don't think he only picked Texas simply because they have more money.

A lot of times the guys who play it really close to the vest and wait to commit are probably "flipping" back and forth a lot internally, and look a lot better off for it just by waiting.

Moral of the story; if you're a recruit, talk less, commit later.
