Hard to fault a kid for wanting to stay close to home. Still sucks if it happens s though.

Which is exactly why I don't get NPF going to Ohio State.

Unbelievable on Boykin. If we get Copeland they may move Schwartz to CB.

Side note on Chucky Doll:
It started with Easley. Story was, if memory serves, that a HS coach of Easley's use to call him "baby doll" or something like that. So Easley took that and ran with it. Took that doll everywhere,
When he got hurt, torn ACL, Fowler picked it up and brought it to games as inspiration.
When Easley moved to the NFL, he passed it on to Fowler which continued the tradition. When Fowler moved on he passed it on to CeCe. I recall a pic of CeCe and Chucky after the OT win against KY (OT to win against that crap-show -- definitely down times). But the tradition lost steam and fell away.

Not gonna' lie. It's been a pretty disappointing day what with all of the supposed positive vibes we'd been getting leading up to today.

Just going to have to start winning and winning "well" and things will turn. But we can't continue to be an also ran on our own state and be successful on the field.

How McElwain ever has been hired to do anything around ANY football team boggles the mind.

Some of you all are acting like you were expecting us to sign all these kids. There were a few of us, donkey included, who told you that wasn’t happening.

This is about what I expected. Still a solid class. I expect Copeland to sign with us.

Other than NPF, Copeland, Gouriage, Gerald, and Chatfield, these guys are all filler.

Silvera was never coming.

Gouriage was a nice win.

No idea what Boykin looks like but there is a kid in an O&B jacket. Another troll?

The "transition class" talk is crap, we led for all of these players as recent as of this morning and managed to lose the recruiting war all together. FSU is even laughing at us know going from 70th to beating our ass today

Worse signing day ever. Worse than that one year when we struck out with everybody on signing day with muschamp. Very average transition class. Imo. Mullen might recruit better than mac but he didn't come in and put up a kirby like transition class.

Ok, but you also have to factor in that Kirby picked up behind Richt who wasn't a second rate recruiter, just a second rate coach. Mullen had to pick up after Mac. Big difference in both kids committed, school reputation, and the name of the new coach (Kirby coming of multiple NCs with AL, vs Mullen coming from Cowbell). Big difference. Especially the Mac part.

We lost out on a 4 star CB that had UF leading forever until today and hes going to the pit of misery otherwise known as Virginia football
And it is a pit. Lucky to get 40k attendance. And the crowd basically sits on their hands. But they've got Bronco. Whoopee.

Who says we led? The bowl?

We go through this every single year. We think we’re going to close on 15 elite players.

And now nearly everyone is picking Boykin to Virginia. Massive whiff for Florida if that is what happens. Massive.
Yeah, sounds terrible. What if we dont land a DB. Probably should close the school.
