With this class, plus the early enrollees, Coach Taggart sure is excited for Spring ball to get underway.

In his #NSD21 presser, #FAU's @CoachTaggart said he's "absolutely" excited to (finally) have Spring Ball in Boca. "And I'm more excited now because we know what we have. We didn't have that last year."

I didn't get too many looks at atlantic this year, but I have a guy there that has only good things to say about JH  and JM . Typical Delray kids. They run and they hit. Our history with atlantic has been scetchy.  These two need to study and do the right thing. Maybe we can start a run with the eagles staff. Fingers crossed.

I can definitely say things at Atlantic are on good terms, and we got a great pair of defensive backs.

Hill is a big strong in the box guy and McClendon is a ball hawk.

What’s the start date for spring ball and will we have a spring game open to fans? Also, where can we get the audio to Coach’s presser? Would love to hear this thoughts

I have been asked about Hester and Eaford a few times today, so here is what I know.

Both are still the boat and are expected to be be Owls.

Teams have till August 1st to officially sign players, it gives staffs extra time to wait and see if some kids have all the I's dotted and T's crossed.

I am still very confident they will be at camp come August.

I know that atlantic is thrilled with taggart and the staff. I hope this relationship works out for everybody, for a long time

On paper, I like this class a lot. I definitely want to see Hester land here but between Edrine, Mobley, Kobe Stewart, Pasley, and MJJr., I’m really excited about the offensive playmakers. And I know that Coach Norrid did a great job with the offensive line prospects yet again. 

They need Edrine or Stewart to stand out from day one in spring ball. I can’t do another year of inconsistent WR play. Hopefully MJJR and his dad (and Taggart) have something cooking at QB. At this point, my gut tells me one of the fortunate sons will be starting at QB against UF.

I’m sure some people will focus on the overall class rating both in CUSA and nationwide. Everything considered, I — the pessimist — am excited. 

(Although, I will add that some recent coaching moves have helped my excitement. 🙂)

Who cares about the 247 class rankings, we have the most prolific transfers coming to FAU out of all of the CUSA schools and WILLIE ISNT EVEN DONE YET! Our high school guys are solid. Also UNT and UTSA couldn't even field a competent defense if they tried, I'll take a FL guy straight out of High School instead of the guys they got in Texas.

GO OWLS

Whatever happened to Latarious Magee (the king of Boca) and Mason Starling? Did we have to retract their offer? Did they ever even receive one from us? Anyone know the deal?

Also, given the size of this class, a drop in rankings had to be expected. Obviously when you have 20+ kids coming in as opposed to 17 or 18 or whatever we had, it’s going to show on paper that the school with 20+ commits has a higher ranking. We definitely have a more quality class though
