Might it be time to start this conversation now that Burrow is a corndog?


If he didn't go after Burrow I doubt he goes after this kid. He seems ready to sink or swim w/ Franks or Trask. That's pretty telling.....

Indianapolis....middle class QB's that want to play for SOS are different.
Actually Bloomington Indiana but close enough. I remember their story about trying to get recruited by SOS and SOS told him they don't recruit Indiana but saw his tape and immediately offered him after that. That's why you need to recruit any top rated player that's interested in you regardless of where they are from. It doesn't hurt us at all to recruit a guy like Stingley and you have to...you just have to be better about reading them and understanding if you are getting them or not and have backup plans unlike chump and butters who were like the ultimate delusional sunshine pumper that just believe we might get them when the writing is on the wall.

There's alot of smoke saying that this weekend did what it was supposed to by changing alot of the negative perception about the program. I spoke with one of my friends who was at the cookout and he said "things are FINALLY coming together" and to expect some big names to pop before or a day or 2 after FNL. He's plugged in and has never been wrong on recruiting so we'll see what happens.
Please god. Please let us not screw this up

I just watched Hunter Johnson's senior tape. Some of the highlights:

1. Throws a very nice fade
2. Can run, is very quick with his cuts and has some very decent speed (4.7).
3. Sees the field well and can make reads
4. Evades the rush well but I did not see him step up into the pocket
5. Needs work on his throwing on the run. Very awkward looking.
6. Needs work on his footwork
7. I did not see too many deep throws
8. He throws an accurate, catchable ball
10. He reminds me a lot of Cord Sandberg except Cord is a left hander
11. He did not deserve to be a 5*, more like a low 4*

Sounds like he'll make a decent QB for some other school not named "Florida".

I was going to ask him about the coCaines thing.

I agree we have no hope of landing a really elite team til we show some drastic improvement on the field but surely we can recruit as well as cowbell in the interim. They've been getting blown out 4-6 times a year amd havent had an offense in forever either.
The 2 kids who did that bull$hit won't be able to qualify plus we don't want they ass anyway. They was on courtesy visit because of the schools their at and They won't be back!

Mullen must be planning to play Jones. I sure hope so.

EJ is working his tail off. Getting stronger, getting more confident.

He saw the level of competition and no doubt Mullen told him if he gets it together the job is his.

Could also see the junior lightweight version of Leak/Tebow with Trask/Jones, but I would not be surprised to see EJ take the reins during the first third of the season.

When even Doug Johnson is bagging on Franks' ability to see the field, you know it's bad.

I know how bad Franks is. I don't think a good oline fixes it either.

Dude is un-coachable.

If we're going into the season w/ these 3 as our scholarship QBs I have to think EJ wins the job sooner or later. He's a much better talent than Trask and he can't be as un-coachable as Franks. I imagine sooner or later his talent will win out (or we lose a few ugly games and Mullen is forced to go w/ EJ and let him take his lumps).

We just need to hope EJ puts on 10+ pounds this summer and is physically ready to play the role Mullen will want him to play.

I remember their story about trying to get recruited by SOS and SOS told him they don't recruit Indiana but saw his tape and immediately offered him after that.

The real story is that in the week after signing day Grossman contacted UF. UF at first thought he was an unsigned guy from the prior class that they had never had on their radar looking for a landing spot. When they realized he was a prospect for the upcoming class, they evaluated him and as you say offered him and he quickly committed.

Recruiting multiple classes at once is a lot more common now that it was then. And of course in those days UF was in demand by players.
