Ronald Powell Will Commit to the Gators

Sorry, the title might seem misleading because it’s not a fact. However, read on and you’ll see why it might as well be confirmed.
Ronald Powell has a tough decision to choose between USC and Florida as his top team. Powell gives each team an equal chance to recruit him. What that means is as soon as he talks with one team, he talks with the other shortly after.
“I call the two coaching staffs one after the other,” Powell said. “I’ll hang up with one of the coaches from Florida or USC, and then I’ll call the other right after it.”
Powell is set to return to Gainesville… err Title Town for Friday Night Lights on the 24th and is looking forward to the trip. His relationship with the coaches here in Title Town has grown tremendously. He has built up a unique bond with Brian White (Tight End/Offensive Line Coach) possibly because of his west coast origins.
So why do I know Ronald Powell will be a Florida Gator? The answer lies in how Powell said he talks with Brian White and the Florida coaches:
“I just talked to Whitey (Florida tight ends coach Brian White) last night,” Powell said. “We just had a normal conversation. It’s pretty much the same conversation that I have when I call one of my friends.”
This might not mean a lot to some but for me, I am in sales and when someone considers me their friend before a sales rep, bring out the pen, they’re signing! This is key to getting recruits… build the relationship up where they view you as a friend before anything else.
So my title may have jumped the gun and I may be wrong about this but these are good signs for sure!
