Recruits react to Florida-LSU postponement
News broke on Thursday afternoon that Saturday's scheduled game between Florida and LSU would be canceled due to concerns related to Hurricane Matthew. The game was slated to be a big recruiting weekend for the Gators, with several of the Southeast's top prospects set to be in attendance.
Rivals.com caught up some of the expected visitors to get their thoughts on the game's postponement.
"I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't get to see this game live. Been looking forward to it [LSU vs. Florida] my whole life."
"Of course I'm not happy about it being canceled but there's more important things like safety. So I agree with the decision."
"I'm pissed, bro. Me and my coaches were going to go up there. I wanted to see what should've been a great game."
"I'm really bummed out because I was planning this weeks in advance and was hoping to see the offensive improve from the Tennessee game and see how the team bounces back."
"Well honestly it kinda hurts this would have been my second time down at the swamp and I love it down there but I definitely understand praying for everyone in Florida and the coast."
"I was kind of disappointed at first because I didn't know what the situation was but once I found out what was going on I understood. But I really did want to get down to 'The Swamp.' It was kind of a dream to go and feel that atmosphere of that Gator Nation cheering loud against another major SEC team hopefully I will get to one day."
"I really wanted to be able to experience all that the Gators had to offer... but hopefully there will be another chance."
"I mean, it's a bad feeling to not be able to see that game. But, there will always be more great games to see."
