These warm-weather recruits
These warm-weather recruits need to be exposed to a solid year in a Midwestern climate and understand how it actually makes life more interesting.
I can't imagine experiencing December without winter. That's like a person without a soul. I like playing with my dog in the snow, skating on outdoor ice rinks, and changing up my wardrobe to account for the cold.
I've decided to lay off the food for a while, and go on the booze.

Great point... I wonder if college coaches bring that up with recruits who want to stay south exactly for this reason. "Well, what happens if you get drafted by (insert northern NFL team here)? You are going to have to play in cold weather at some point regardless of where you end up in the pros. Unless you don't plan on making it to the NFL..."

I just moved to Pensacola
I just moved to Pensacola Beach, FL. I lived in CT, Michigan, and upstate NY. I kind of get where these guys are coming from. I was fishing up to my chest in water last weekend. I have realized that being miserable for 5 months out of the year is over-rated. Although I am moving back to CT next year. Why do I punish myself?

Miserable is a mindset. I
Miserable is a mindset. I
Miserable is a mindset. I think - why live in the godawful 100-degree heat and humidity of Florida or Texas in the summer and be miserable five months of the year? One week in the August heat in Virginia was enough to make me wish it was October.

If you're making...
If you're making...
If you're making NFL money you don't have to live in those cities...
Many guys just rent home in their northern cities where there teams are, but they truly live elsewhere.
That's all sports.
Hell, I mean Doc Rivers, Boston's coach lives in Orlando, Florida.
Besides, you're on the road much of the year so how often are you REALLY in that city? Bad argument about the NFL teams.
“True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty.”

Yeah, but living in cold
Yeah, but living in cold
Yeah, but living in cold weather versus playing in cold weather is different. If you're not used to playing in cold weather, it's an adjustment. I don't know how much of an adjustment, but some players can't take it.
I also don't think Doc Rivers is the best example for your argument. He coached in Orlando previous to coaching in Boston. He has three kids, who are in college now, so to uproot them and move did not make sense. As far as your point about players making offseason homes in the South, that is a very good point. I'm not sure that the players usually have ties to the South, but for various reasons, players tend to have residency down South.

If Auburn is not in serious contention, that's good news.
Maryland is probably looking down the precipice into the Eternal Tire Fire as a program anyway.

From an article this morning
That's yet to be determined, though a top three finish isn't out of the question. Until then, monitor the recruiting battles for Stefon Diggs and Wes Brown. Diggs seems to be favoring Florida, Florida State and Virginia Tech, while Brown is considering Michigan, South Carolina and Colorado, among others.
Don't know how accurate that is.

Just saying.
I don't see Maryland being a factor, so it's more like a top 6 if the Auburn thing is true.
