Re: Andre DeBose ESPN says two WRs stood out at the first day of practice for the Under Armour AA game: 1) Black [team] receiver Terry Hawthorne's (East St. Louis, Ill.) combination of size and speed stood out immediately during passing drills. But it was his precise route running and sharpness out of his breaks that impressed me more. 2) Black [team] WR Andre Debose (Sanford, Fla./Seminole) showed great hands, vertical speed and one of the faster releases of a strong receiving corps. The article also talked about who had a "tough first day," and mentioned: White [team] receiver Logan Heastie (Chesapeake, Va./Great Bridge) looked very smooth at times during seven-on-seven passing drills, but he had a few drops and showed some difficulty adjusting to poorly thrown balls. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/recruiting/football/columns/story?columnist=tucker_billy&id=3802518
Re: Andre DeBose Big time rumor going around that DeBose texted coaches of his top 3 telling them he's a Gator come Sunday. We'll see.
Re: Andre DeBose Yep, that's a crazy rumor, to say the least. Supposedly a FSU coach knows about it. Yeah, a coach from a school who isn't even in the Debose sweepstakes. Yep. That's a classic.
Re: Andre DeBose Why do you feel like it is a rumor? You got some inside info? I trust what you say and I want Debose probably more than any of the recruits on our board. You think Shep may still steer him towards us?
Re: Andre DeBose the Rivals national board is up in arms about it. Apparently a Florida State source is leaking this? Am I hearing this right? How would someone from FSU know when they weren't in his top 3? Still though I wouldn't be shocked if he put on the Gator cap tbh. it's tough to pull a guy Florida wants this bad out of Florida.
Re: Andre DeBose Rumors are going to be running rampant about all of the kids about to announce. Most of the rumors are untrue and are started by misunderstandings are fans. Hopefully this is just a rumor. Im hoping he is a Tiger and feel good about our chances. We shall see soon enough where he is gone. His mind is also made up, if its not LSU there isnt anything Shep or anyone can do. If thats that the case best of luck to him but he is now Tiger bait. Hopefully he is a Tiger though which I feel we in the lead.
