Had this discussion with a buddy of mine recently and wondered.. Every friend I had growing up as a young kid until now has been a pretty big fan of either UF, FSU, Auburn etc. None of us played football at even a peewee level. But we watched our team every single Saturday from the time we can remember until now. If I would have been a football player, especially a top 250 type kid that can go just about wherever I wanted, I would have accepted a UF offer on the spot and never spoken to another program.
You're telling me there aren't 25 kids every single year in this state that grew up passionate UF fans that are good enough to play at this level? There's gotta be 150+ kids in the state every year that end up on power 5 rosters.
