Georgia is the only Florida adjacent state I’ll buy. Panhandle is basically Alabama.
And South Florida is where majority of that top end talent is and those kids are the furthest thing from country. Places like Tuscaloosa, Athens, or Baton Rouge are basically like Mars to them. South Florida is more comparable to a big east coast or Midwest city. They’d feel more at home in a large city like Columbus than some shanty little red neck college town in the Deep South.
