Florida's football recruiting hotbed drying up for out-of-state programs
Posted Oct 23, 2009
Commitments from Florida recruits to ACC programs outside the state dropped 30 percent over the course of the decade. Florida prospects migrating to non-Florida ACC schools from 2001-03 numbered 94. The most-recent three-year period (2007-09) yielded 66. North Carolina coach Butch Davis rebuilt the Hurricanes' recruiting from the talent-rich Miami area in the early part of the decade. With his four recruiting classes since joining the Tar Heels, Davis has signed three Florida players. "It's not as easy to get players out of there as it was 10, 15 years ago," Davis said
