Recruiting 2019 NSD: 4* DE Khris Bogle and 4* CB Elam signs

[Durfish]

How many fat middle aged recruiters do we have?.....

All of them.

If we hit the grand slam with sanders, Pittman, zipperer and Elam I wonder where that would put us?

That doesn’t sound right. Jones got moved up to like 212 or something

That's the 247 composite. He's still in the 400's and a 3-star on Rivals (which, for some reason is all that matters around here). He'll get a bump from Rivals, not sure if it will put him in the top 250 though, but likely top 300.

If we hit the grand slam with sanders, Pittman, zipperer and Elam I wonder where that would put us?

It would move us up, but it would only give us four 4-star's (for now). We need 12-14 4-star's to get into the top 12 or so. Hopefully we get a 5-star and another 12 or so 4's.

Are we finishing in second place with all of them?

Bet to "show" and give yourself a little cushion.

They will move after camps.

They don't tend to re evaluate during dead periods just because someone made a nice Hudl tape or a cool twitter video of working out or whatever like ESPN and 247 do.

Getting the strongest case of deja vu.

Thanks...glad to be back! It's a damn nightmare at my shop during tax time. All these folks getting $10,000 back all want paint,rims or a stereo system put in at the same time. We've been working some long ass days but it's finally slowing down some so I should be on more frequent.

Any chance these are for recruits....

And good to see you posting again.

Talented South Florida football recruit dies after dirt-bike accident

https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/talented-florida-prospect-dies-dirt-bike-accident/

Marc’Allan Derac died Tuesday as a result of a dirt-bike crash with a car, according to the Sun-Sentinel. He was 17 years old.

Derac, from Delray Beach, Florida, was riding on a dirt bike on April 22 when it collided with a Chevrolet Equinox in Greenacres at 8:13 p.m. The dirt bike had no lights, and Derac hit the SUV on the front passenger door as it was turning. He was quickly taken to St. Mary’s Hospital.

The Delray Beach native was a standout safety at Atlantic High School. Listed at 6-foot-3, 176 pounds, Derac racked up 58 tackles, 15 pass breakups and nine INTs in 2017. He was rated a 3-star prospect and had offers from Iowa State, Syracuse, USF and Western Michigan, according to 247Sports Composite Rankings.

News and notes

• Bobby Wolfe, a 4-star defensive back from Houston, announced Wednesday that he will take his official visit to Florida on June 1. The former Texas A&M commit received an offer from the Gators on Dec. 23 and included them in his top 6 last month along with the Aggies, Colorado, Georgia, LSU and Oklahoma.

• On Wednesday, the Gators offered top-50 overall prospect Kyle Ford (Orange, Calif.), who called Florida a dream school. He’s the No. 7 wide receiver and No. 43 player nationally in the 247Sports composite rankings. Florida will push to get him on campus for an official visit.

(the dreaded "dream school" quote...)

Absolutely horrible for the parents.

It seems like 3/4 of the four stars and above who really like us are California kids.

Odd.

Our staff spent a bunch of time on the west coast right after they got here. They even went to Hawaii and made a few offers. It is odd (and imo, a waste of time). I've said this a million times in this thread, "Win the state, win championships". As it stands, we will be lucky to sign 5 of the top 50 Florida kids (several of the top 50 are IMG kids, so if you throw those out, we get 4 of the top 35 or so - Sanders is an IMG kid who I think we get). This staff should be at every Florida HS like they worked there! Staff, staffers, whoever the hell is allowed! Stop going to California - unless the kid specifically recruits us (like Jesse Palmer or Rex Grossman did). The only states we should be hitting are the southeast states (Georgia specifically).

 

[SeabeeGator]

I wonder how talented our roster would be if all the kids who dreamed of playing at Florida actually came to Florida.

Additionally, not sure winning the state is consistently possible like it used to be. Too many schools have ins now and the state of Florida doesn’t have the same state pride as a place like Texas - recruits don’t necessarily feel the same pressure to stay here.
