Ace, I agree completely. i have followed the FSU and UF programs for the last couple of years and have scratched my head at the attitude of the schools in recruiting. I do feel that lately UF has improved. jmo. I think the schools feel like with the bright futures program and being in Fl that enough quality talent will come to them and that they do not have to work real hard to recruit. That is probably true to some extent, but I also wonder who they lose by not showing a little "love" early in the process. It would make sense to me because the recruiting game is so ego driven. Mike Martin is old school.
We actually stayed away from FSU becaus i have a friend who was an all-american pitcher for him and went on to the pros, and then the bigs, who said some negative things in regards to pitchers health and the program, so we avoided the issue.
