Looking at Wednesday’s signees — including junior college and prep school athletes — here’s a snapshot of the talent produced by the state of Florida in 2013 (as graded by Rivals.com):
5-stars = 5
4-stars = 47
3- stars = 168
Total 3+ stars = 220
Here’s where the state’s 10 highest-ranked players are headed:
Florida = 2
Florida State = 2
Alabama = 1
Clemson = 1
Notre Dame = 1
Ohio State = 1
Ole Miss = 1
Southern Cal = 1
Loyalty: Only four of the state’s 10 best players will suit up for Sunshine State schools next season. With so many in-state schools to pick from that number’s a bit low. Six different schools made successful raids for the state’s best prospects. Will Muschamp and Jimbo Fisher can’t be too pleased about that.
