Mac and Company on the Trail

[LighthouseGator]

My bad technically three others besides Slaton K'lavon chaisson, Ray, Jones. Would have been four if Robinson was allowed in.

Do you really think we have even an outside shot for Chaisson, Ray or Jones?

I dont know how much of a shot, but I consider it a legitimate shot if they OV'd to us which all three did.

I'm not sure which is more painful, watching this staff recruit or watching their offense.

 

[LighthouseGator]

For comparisons sake, Georgia has 9 in the top 100 this year alone Which is more than our last three years combined with probably a chance at a few more. The Mac is still young argument may have some validity but Kirby has only had one year and has a top 3-2 ranked class.

I think the difference is Kirby stepped into a functional program, whereas Mac stepped into a dead and decomposing program. That's an oversimplification, and I'm not saying Mac would have pulled a similar class at UGA (because, for one, he likely wouldn't have played Eason if this year was any indication), but I don't think it can be an apples to apples comparison.

Wow...we'll get SLaton and that's it out of those guys. Stay away from sharp objects.

 

[T REX]

Why? Guys had like a dozen locks last week. None have been locks.

Slaton seems like a lock. I would be surprised if he's not a Gator. I would take Mac's keys and tell him to take a hike if he screws this one up.

Im not saying we'll get them just that we are a contender, of course there may be other ones who commit to us but that would be more of a surprise

 

[gators4224]

If we can get Slaton, that would be 3 quality DTs in this class. That will at least allow us to provide some depth.

I'M HOPING but big if

The offense. I don't actually have to watch them recruit, I just see the results.

 

[InstiGATOR1]

Man, that's not true. If he could actually recruit and had a top 5 class like we needed - you'd have people including me jumping around with joy. Hell, I might've became a pumper.

Not me, I want to see an offense.

That's an oversimplification, and I'm not saying Mac would have pulled a similar class at Bama (because, for one, he likely wouldn't have played Eason if this year was any indication), but I don't think it can be an apples to apples comparison.

This is year 3 though. Not one single top ten class(unless a miracle happens). That just does not cut it.

 

[chferg]

If he miraculously pulled a top 10 class even the skeptical would have to say he had a nice finish. It will be hard to do that now however. Maybe top 12.

Gonna be lucky to be above 15th...

Any word on Cam Spence and if UF is still recruiting him?

 

[T REX]

Here's the way I look at it. Mac gets his ass handed to him by more talented teams and better coaches(avg margin in losses is 21 pts). He can't beat the FSU's and Bama's with lesser talent. Well, the gap is widening. Add UGA to the list. If Mac had outcoached some teams I would feel better about the 17th ranked class. He hasn't proven he can do more with less...in fact, he has shown that he can't beat the better teams(2-8 vs ranked teams). That's a huge problem that is not going away.

I haven't heard much about him to UF lately, but as I said there's always a chance for a surprise commit.

I look at it this way, I do not worry about class ranking until the class is in the books. I especially ignore class rankings when UF is so far below their number a day out. We will know tomorrow how much talent is coming in, even if there is one holdout.

That's pretty kewl!

Rex, say it ain't so.

 

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

With the addition of Conliffe we now have a total of 4 true DT'S on the roster. Hopefully we'll land #5 and #6 tomorrow #ChompChomp
