I hope we keep all the recruiting stuff in this thread through NSD. It will be fun to read how the thread changes

We got 3 WRs committed and most think we are getting Copeland. If we get Schwartz do we see one of the lower rated guys leave?

Of the 3 star WRs, Williams and Gammage...who do you drop...or do you drop both for Copeland and Schwartz?

No idea how many we are taking.

I would think 5 max, but probably 4. I see at least one of the 3*s leaving, they have to know their chances are slim to none

Florida is now ranked #11 on 247Sports. We are .83 behind #10 FSU even though we have one fewer player in our class. The only team ahead of us with fewer players is #9 Clemson which is 2.62 ahead of us with one less player.

If we can somehow work the numbers and sign a full complement of 25 players then we have a great shot at finishing in the top 5.

Edit: 247Sports just updated the rankings. The Gators are #12. My earlier calculation did not take into account the new commits from other teams since the last update.

FSU now has 3 more players than us, but they are still only 19.14 points ahead of us. That is the approximate equivalent of a single 4*.

I agree with Alcoholica. We will end up with 4 or possibly 5. There will be some that will decide to go elsewhere and that will bring the numbers back in line. Everyone wants to jump on board. It's a good problem to have.

That's where I would lean...4 seems like enough, especially the level of guys that we are looking at.

So if you keep Gammage or Williams, who do you keep?

Haven't heard much about Williams, but I've heard Gammage has game. Don't really care. Hope we get Copeland, Schwartz, and add Pope or St. Brown. Both 3*s can go.

Disagree. Where are the LBs/DTs? Mac seems to be offense heavy. It's a potential issue like before just in reverse.

FSU is in play for way more guys in the top 100 than we are and they are going to land Fields. They're going to have a top 5 class AGAIN unfortunately. We do have a chance to move up into the top 7-10 range when all is said and done.

Enjoy the moment, T !
