Shot.
Barring another signing day shocker next week, Florida’s Big Three will hit a new low for in-state recruiting — at least by one measure.
The Gators, Seminoles and Hurricanes are on track to sign only three Florida natives who are ranked among the nation’s top 100 prospects, according to the 247Sports composite. That’s the lowest number of the modern recruiting era; they landed four in three of the past four cycles.
Chaser.
Another concerning figure: Georgia will end up signing more of the state’s top recruits (six) than the Big Three combined.
Looks like we run that state, too.

Closing that gap;)

That’s pretty damning right there. With the talent that Florida produces (including IMG), all 3 schools have enough blue chips to go around. The fact that we are growing the gap into a chasm by recruiting Florida the way we do is just icing on the cake.

I agree. Especially getting a top DL from there. If Hall turns out to be 70% of Jalen Carter then the other guys we got from Florida won’t even matter given how rare and important great DL are.

Those nasty DLs like Carter and Hall from northeast Florida down to Orlando used to be the terrors in orange and blue that would make us miserable.

Indeed. It’s wild to get back to back DL drafted in the first round while our rivals miss out and become overly reliant on QB heroics.

That’s the thing. The Florida Big 3 have recruited so poorly on the lines of scrimmage no one should be surprised at how far they have fallen.

There’s no easy solution for any of the Florida schools. Not only is their homeland routinely raided by outsiders like Kirby, it shrinks the remaining talent pool to compete over. 3 P5 schools competing over an ever shrinking slice of pie is not good for any of them and leads to poorly calculated chess moves to defeat each other like the Rashada debacle. They all end up losing.

Here is a list of schools that signed Florida players in this class before the Handbags’ highest recruit (includes recruits from IMG):
Alabama (2)
Miami
Colorado
Georgia (4)
Texas
Florida State
Ohio State
Florida signed all of 1(!) of the top 20 players in state. Sun Belt Billy has a relationship problem on his hands.

Fsu was ranked #2 overall for this years transfers, maybe they just threw in a towel, but they are loaded to make a run this year with Clempson slipping & the rest of the ACC being garbage.
The other 2 once-upon-a-long-time-ago-has-beens, whelp wake us up after their next decade of floundering.

Florida State always thinks they are primed to make a run. Ten wins is their ceiling anymore. They still think they’re a national power and that’s part of their problem.

Anyone can pull a TCU & get into the dance with the schedule FSU has. Getting to the table at #4 in the nation can be done. Staying there & beating the top teams will be hard, but right now all the way too early lists have fsu in the top 7 or 8 preseason teams. They beat LSU last year.

LSU was not the same team in that first game as the one Georgia smacked in the SECC. LSU would have beaten Florida State like they stole something later in the season.

This may be the stat that would’ve floored 90s me more than any other and is, in my opinion, the most unappreciated reason for the consolidation of power at the top of college football. Of course, there’s a chicken and egg element there, but it’s a hell of a lot harder for Bama and UGA to do what we’ve been doing without our success in Floristan.
