This is a pretty early look. Think there are two more iterations that will come up before the season. One in the spring and then another one after summer camps.

It usually looks vastly different at that point.

Doesn't it become a "300" list? Or is that on ESPN?

ESPN. Their summer list doesn't usually change too much before the end of the year

Those top 5 IMG kids are all from out of state

 

[t-gator]

The biggest needs for this class will be QB,DT,OL,DE,WR,TE. Weve got our depth built up. It's time to start upgrading the talent.

Normally are.

If Byrd can join this class it won't be as big of a need for TE.

There is no reason we should be missing on so many wide receivers in Florida. I think kids are really speculative about this offense and want to see it work before they come on board.

If he doesn't, I think we should definitely grab one. A big time qb prospect is a must.

Isn't the IMG QB our top QB target?

Hopefully next years class has balance. We definitely need OL, WR, DE and a few at each of the other spots.

The IMG kid threw 5tds 10 picks and had a 48 completion percentage last year. I hope weve moved on if that's true. I don't see how IMG would take a kid who struggled like that.

Rivals shows we haven't even offered Asante Samuel the #2 CB in the country #19 overall and #7 in the St of Fl, how does that happen? Such a highly skilled player and don't even have an offer with less than a year before signing day. We are the only school on his long list who have not offered him yet. I'd this why we miss on so many kids because we're always last you the party?

I think it was him who did an interview where he was asked about his interest in UF and he said he hasn't even been offered.

Not sure why he wouldn't be on the radar. He's an NFL legacy. He's been on the radar for three years as one of the best players of 2018.

Our need is to always land basically one player at each position for 22. That is the way established programs run. This shyt of running completely out of OL one year, LBs the next then DTs the next HAS to stop.

Also this year we will need to add a P and K.

Are we really surprised by this?

They just took him as a backup which explains our interest in him.

I'm not surprised by anything regarding this staff anymore.

We need to get a QB who actually lifts a mediocre team up by his play and makes them much better and a contender, not some kid who plays on a team with All American linemen, receivers and running backs who help hide his flaws.
