I would be surprised if we are still on his radar after the Oregon and Florida games.

He may be at the top of the list just waiting to come in and start next year. Easy to see we need help and speed.

The key s to show recruits that we either have a QB who can play in the SEC, or show them are recruiting one or two.

Honestly I think that florida game helped us in recruiting him. He saw that florida is almost as bad as us but we have great talent coming in unlike florida

You may need to rethink this just a tad. They are absolutely pillaging south Florida right now (like most years) and IMO that just might be the most talent rich recruiting area in the country.

I can understand what your saying. I was more or less thinking about right now. Florida State will always get good instate talent and so will Miami (and Florida to for that matter) but if Miami and Florida State revert back to 90's-early 2000's form where both are in the title hunt almost every year like Florida was under Urban Meyer, then yeah it's inevitable that Florida will lose some talented kids to those programs. Especially the S. Florida kids who grow up Miami fans, they will be hard pressed to stay at home and play for the U. College Football like almost anything else runs in cycles and I think we're getting ready to see that shift again (Texas & USC down, Tennessee?? and Miami up). Most importantly, I hope Tennessee returns to its rightful place at the top of the SEC and Nationally recognized again as a perennially elite program. I could personally care less whether or not Miami does, but if they do, then that's not only bad news for Florida but also teams like West Virginia who's program is built on kids who were poached from South Florida along with a host of other programs.

There are enough talented kids in Florida (and the surrounding areas) to support all 3 of UF/FSU/Miami. Even when FSU and Miami were enjoying their best years UF was still winning SEC championships (and on National Championship).

In regards to state of Florida recruiting Miami's presence outside of SoFla is limited. Miami also doesn't draw much from other southern states (which is different than UF/FSU). UF's recruitment of Dade in this cycle is actually a fairly new thing. I'm not sure whether it will become the norm or whether it was necessitated by central Florida's lackluster talent in 2014.

Florida has recruited places like North Carolina really well as of late. That's a place that Fulmer recruited really well during his tenure. I think there's a lot of talent there and I hope we can continue to get top talent guys from there as well like M. North. O and F&G, your right what's up with central Florida this year? I'm thinking its just an anomaly.

I think your timeline is off. Miami experienced their dominance in the 80s while Florida was pretty much irrelevant. Florida didn't start becoming a top tier program until the early 90s while Miami went on a downward spiral they didn't dig out of for much of the 90s. I can't say I remember any sustained period of time that all 3 of the main Florida schools were dominate simultaneously. Now with Taggert at South Florida and Central Florida on the rise, it make it even more difficult for any of the Florida schools to be the dominate programs they once were.

Umm, didn't Miami win a national title in like 2000 and then lost in 2001? Also, I think they only lost around 25 games in the entire 90's decade and finished unranked maybe once and had several top 5/10 finishes. Oh and they also put like a bazillion players into the NFL. Yea, Miami went on a downward spiral in the 90s.

Ummm, if you are going to be a smartass try to be at least more accurate than me. That being said, maybe downward spiral was a poor choice of words but there was a dropoff after Dennis Erickson left in 1994 and they were put on sanctions. In 1997 they had a losing record 5-6. Hardly a dominant powerhouse. Not to mention the Big East wasn't exactly the who's who in conferences at that time either.

Truth is you lumping and cherry picking numbers doesn't present the most accurate information either. For the record they lost 27 games that decade not 25. On a side note,didn't realize putting players in the pros was an indicator of good regular season in college. If that was the case then we shouldn't have anyone in the pros right now. And I know that's not the case because last night's MNF game was littered with former Vols on the field.

Sorry that didn't go the way you planned. Maybe one of your interdweeb friends can start a stirring argument with you about a box score of a game you guys would like to debate. Kick rocks fool.

I see what you're saying...but Miami had some really good teams in the 90's and the early 2000's when all 3 programs were strong. As evidence:

1990-91- All 3 schools lost 2 games
91-92- Miami went undefeated, UF/FSU lost 2 games
92-93- Miami lost 1 game, FSU 1 game, UF 4 games
93-94- Miami lost 3 games, FSU 1 game, UF 2 games
94-95- Miami lost 2 games, FSU 1 game, UF 2 games
95-96- Miami lost 3 games, FSU 2 games, UF 1 game
96-97- Miami lost 2 games, FSU 1 game, UF 1 game
97-98- Miami sucked, FSU 1 game, UF 2 games
98-99- all 3 schools lost 2 games
99-00- Miami/UF lost 4, FSU undefeated
00-01- Miami lost 1, FSU 2, UF 3
01-02- Miami undefeated, FSU 4, UF 2

Pretty solid stretch where the schools were in good form for the most part.

“I want to take them to places I haven’t been,” Jackson said. “I’ve already been to Florida, Tennessee and Illinois on unofficial visits and won’t go back.”

Who is the nation’s No. 3 cornerback still considering?

“Florida, Florida State, LSU, Tennessee, Oregon, Illinois, Notre Dame, UCLA and USC,” Jackson said.

Tennessee - “They play in the SEC so they’ve got the hype with them. Their fans are crazy. They might not have the offense you’d expect. They have a great defense and I like the way they use their people in both football and track.”

He spoke the most about UF and what he liked about UF. We all know UF has a really good track program, and Jackson appears to be very serious about running tract as well in school. He pointed that out about each SEC program he's looking at, UT, UF, and LSU.

It's great that UT got him on campus, which LSU has not been able to do (he is looking into visiting them, however). I think UF is in the best shape right now, but this kid is an NSD decision, IMO. Plenty of time.

If we cannot get him back on campus before NSD, then kiss him goodbye IMHO.

Let him come in and be the next, Willie Gault, Justin Gatlin, or Aries Merritt... then we can look back and say - "who will be the next Adoree"?

That's not the only reason why I think UF leads. He always talks about the school's track program. We have history there, but currently, UF has a great program from what I understand. But I agree with you on the next USCw coach. I feel like if they can hit a home run with the next coach, they could take over his recruiting very easily.

Agree, but will say it won't be easy to hit a home run with 2 years of sanctions left
