What's up? Welcome back to the Barton and Bud show. Bud, how you doing? We're ready to get into another mailbag today.

Yeah, man. I'm ready for this.

And, dude, more talent keeps leaving the Sunshine State.

I think we're now projecting like seven of the top 10 to go out of state after last year where very few of them stayed in state again.

This is, if you're a Florida State or Miami fan, I think you kind of get it because

your team has been down. With Ford, it's got to be a weird feeling right like they're

recruiting well they're in the top 10 like they have a pretty good class they have some top

targets left on their board and yet Alabama and Georgia to steal their lunch money whenever they

want when it comes to the really top kids.

Yeah.

I mean, I think that's just sort of the next progression for Florida to me.

It's, you know, the roster is getting better.

The coaching is certainly getting better.

There is some legitimate, just roster-wide development that we're seeing.

But I think if the next step, the next evolution for Florida is winning on guys

like Dallas Turner, getting the five stars in the States, and not that they haven't gotten

any, German Dexter last year was huge.

But getting the majority of them, getting a healthy chunk of them, that's not quite

happening yet.

That's still just sort of a collection of George, Alabama, and Ohio State seem to be the

teams that, like, come down and get the share of the top prospects in the state.

And, you know, Florida needs to, they need to take over some of that market share
