Elite 4-star 2021 ATH announces decommitment from Florida
The Florida Gators are putting together a solid 2020 recruiting class (No. 5 in the nation and No. 3 in the SEC, per 247Sports), but they’re also looking ahead to 2021.
However, on Saturday, it was announced that their talented 2021 class had taken a big hit, in the form of 4-star ATH Kamar Wilcoxson.
As you can see below, Wilcoxson — a Georgia native — announced via Twitter that he was decommitting from the Florida program:

The Gators still have five players in their 2021 class, which currently ranks No. 2 in the nation and No. 1 in the SEC, per 247Sports.
According to the 247Sports rankings, Wilcoxson is the No. 23 athlete in the class of 2021 and the No. 20 overall recruit from the state of Georgia.
If you aren’t actively part of the recruiting process/business, 2021 recruiting is too far away for you to bother thinking about. There’s nothing inherently wrong with having this article, but it reeks of bait for more fan noise from rivals.
Spot on!
I don’t see how either the headline or the article represent click bait. There’s no opinion voiced in it, merely the facts. Recruiting, even for the following cycle, is still a newsworthy event, particularly in the off-season. You’re reading into alleged intent if you believe this is a dig. They’ve written similar articles for the other SEC teams, which I’ve read.
I didn’t call it clickbait. I didn’t say it was opinionated. I think repeating that he’s from GA without mentioning that he made this decision after visiting GT (where everyone now assumes he’ll go), especially in light of all the nonsense between some of the rival fans on here, seems like bait for more nonsense. We can agree to disagree about that and the newsworthiness of a teenager’s decision about a decision he won’t actually make for another two years.
FYI, if you’re going to comment without a direct invitation (which I’m perfectly ok with, btw), then it makes your anger at me doing the same elsewhere hypocritical.
Mullen: Now how can I troll UGA with this???
Average puppy fan: better keep posting on the Florida thread while I can before our 2 year “dynasty’ comes to an end
