Traveling only 5 minutes northwest of the Strip, paints a grim picture of deprivation and danger. With poverty rampant and violent crime soaring at a staggering 713% above the national average, venturing into this neighborhood means embracing a 1 in 32 chance of becoming a victim of violence. Adjacent to the towering Strat, Naked City stands as a stark contrast to the Strip's glamour. Infamous for its rampant violence and drug trade, this neighborhood is off-limits for visitors.

Five-star safety DJ Pickett's recruitment could potentially come down to one major out-of-conference matchup next season. On3's Steve Wiltfong reported that he believes a massive Week 1 matchup could make a major impact on Pickett's decision. "Miami vs. Florida is going to be one of the most pivotal recruiting games of the year, potentially," Wiltfong said. Pickett is the No. 6 overall prospect and No. 2 cornerback in the class of 2025.
