No sooner did the 2012 season come to an end then the focus began shifting to the class of 2014. It is supposed to be one of the most talent-rich groups of seniors that has come through this region in a long time.
It didn’t take long for word about Ermon Lane to spread across the St. Thomas University campus Saturday during the Airo/IMG 7-on-7 football tournament.
As college coaches make plans to attend schools in South Florida during May, many will have to start altering their plans — especially when it comes to getting a chance to see some of the emerging and elite players.

There is an absurdity to National Signing Day in the way it is presented and covered. For many, this annual segue from high school to college football is an exciting and glorious thing. For me and perhaps others, it is closer to National Sighing Day an exercise of excess that makes us shake our head and wonder how it got to this point.
South Plantations Alex Collins got his fathers signature on his letter of intent to Arkansas. But his mother, who prefers UM, has hired a lawyer.

UF’s goal of having a livelier offense might get help from Demarcus Robinson, a wide receiver who has committed to Florida.
In each of his first three seasons, Jimbo Fisher has had one constant when it came to recruiting his coaching staff.
Within minutes of Mario’s Cristobal’s firing at Florida International University, names began to pop up for the coaching vacancy. There were also some rather angry and confused local high school coaches and players.
University School quarterback Mike White led a rally to win a state title and minutes later committed to USF.
FAU has been able to attract quality recruits that no other school was interested in. Will it happen again?
