Brad Lawing was a defensive line coach for Florida for two years and now has the same position at Florida State so there's some serious rivalry in recruiting there. According to The Palm Beach Post's Tom D'Angelo, Lawing had known that Shavar Manuel would flip to FSU two weeks in advance of it happening on National Signing Day.
Lawing said known about Manuel flipping for about 2 weeks.'I told him, just play the game,tell them damn Gators what they want to hear' #FSU

That's an insightful look into the heated rivalry if you weren't sure about it before. That flip was a big reason the Noles ended up with a top-2 recruiting class this year too.
