This week, Lovett broke down what he likes about each of his final four schools.

Florida: "I like the relationship I have with the whole coaching staff. They are all cool. We've been talking since before they offered me. The relationship has been there."

"I've been up there a couple of times, and every time I've been up there it's cool. I like what they are doing and what the new coaching staff has planned for the program. I like how they run practice. I like what they are doing for the players on and off the field. It's pretty how how they are all coming together and changing the program."  

Iowa State: "We've been talking for awhile now. Coach (Deon) Broomfield, he recruited my brother, then started recruiting me after he went to college. We have a good relationship. Coach (Jeff) Myers, great coach, good relationship."

"I went up there. The facilities are crazy, like biggest I've ever seen, nicest I've ever seen. They've got the top-of-the-line stuff."  

"The practice was good. I like the fast, up-tempo stuff. Coach (Matt) Campbell, he's a really good dude. He keeps it really real. He don't sugarcoat nothing, so I like that too." 

"I got to spend time with the players, alone time with the players, and I got to hear the truth from them. I didn't hear one bad thing." 

Louisville: "That's my latest offer out of the four. They came off strong off the bat. They started texting, calling every day. They've showed a lot of interest. I have an old teammate there and I asked him about everything. He said everything was cool and he liked the coaching staff. He said you have to earn everything there, so that's good." 

Missouri: "Coach (Marcus) Johnson, he's a really good coach and a really good dude. We've been talking for a long time - since my sophomore summer we've been in communication nearly every day. I only went up there once to take my brother [Zach Lovett] to school, so it wasn't a visit, but I've seen parts. They have top-of-the-line stuff."
