Rome, GA:

Air Force, I live in the Rome area who are we looking at from Model? Model football hasn't really been relevant in a while.

Not sure. Model's varsity program was 1-9 last season and the Blue Devils have no rated prospects in the 2018-'22 classes. Scanning their 2018 roster they don't have any players that fit the FBS prototypical height/weight matrix. Nor did they have any players w/ eye-popping stats last season (e.g., starting QB completed 41.3% of his passes, leading rusher avg. 4.1 ypc, leading receiver made 19 catches and 2 TDs, leading tackler made 52 stops, starting placekicker avg. 44.6 yds/kickoff and made 3 FGs, leading punter avg. 32.4 yds/punt). Therefore, my guess would be that Chaney paid a courtesy visit to the school to maintain good relations, met w/ their DC Gary Johnson, and asked him if they had any under-the-radar prospects (perhaps potential preferred walk-on candidates). Fwiw, UAB WR Coach Larry Smith stopped by Model High School this morning on a recruiting visit.

UF HC Dan Mullen: "It's really important for me that we try to get into every school in the state of Florida."

Mullen's philosophy comes from experience; saturating the state has helped him find some overlooked prospects (e.g., RB Jeff Demps and DL Chris Jones).

"Go find those guys. They're out there. Go find them."

If you hit every school in the state, your odds of finding them are a lot better.
