Landing Kimbrough is so important to this class. We need CBs really badly. It also sounds like LB Mohamoud Diabate is leaning towards us. He makes his pick on Aug 22nd. I think he's a top 50 overall player. Diabate has to see our depth chart and realize that he will get on the field immediately.

I think Diabate would be the highest rated LB we've landed since Spikes if he chooses us. Can anybody think of a higher rated LB in the last 10 years for uf?

Still not happy about this bump class, but it is improving. As mentioned, Black is the best thing to happen to this class. I think we could potentially close with almost all blue chippers if we perform on the field. Right now it's a momentum gamble. I think they are setting up these commitments to get us momentum heading into the season. If we play well, that momentum could hold. We are still paying for the California gamble though.

The LB recruiting has been awful, especially the last Muschamp and 3 Mac brutal LB classes. But, we’ve had some per Rivals (Diabate doesn’t appear top 50 or anywhere near that on Rivals), including Reese in the last class and Black in this class. But, that 4 year streak from 2014-2017 was brutal. Then again, some of these guys were not exactly great. The only truly good class was Jenkins and Bostic. Jarrad Davis was one of the only lower rated LB’s to turn into a high quality player.

Jelani Jenkins
Jon Bostic
Alex Anzelone
Brendan Beal
Daniel McMillan
William Greene
Lerentee McCray
Antonio Morrison
Brandon Hicks
Michael Taylor
Lorenzo Edwards
David Reese (younger)
Diwan Black

So is the sky still falling and he needs to be fired or? Oh he did something great and y’all like him again? I mean honestly if we have two top 15 classes and a 8-9 win season this whole ship will be righted in 2-3 years. 2020 can also be a major coup in recruiting...y’all can put ur razors down for a few days til we’re a week between commits
If you give florida a 25 man class, with the absolute best finish possible (trey sanders in there), we finish 10th last year on 247. Not terrible, but its going to need to improve. This staff slept in the sprint and summer which theyre going to need to correct next year

I recall a MSU reporter saying that Mullen was notorious for not turning the recruiting burners up until fall started. That cant happen anymore

The staff needs to close on a lot of people. But this is the most I have seen us in with the top talent at each position in a long time.

Yeah. He was definitely highest rated.

I think McMillian was once a 5 Star. Before settling as a 4.
Possibly, he was touted before playing like a 2 Star

I love recruiting......people complain when we lock up our class early and NSD is boring and then complain when we have to wait until NSD to lock up our class and it should have happened earlier

Yeah, total bust that one. Then complained that he would have had a better career some place else. Then beat the snot out of some girl and got arrested.

Who’s complained when we locked up a great class early? And when was the last time that happened?

Believe it was 2015 or 16....we went into NSD with 2 targets left, didn't land any of course and everyone around here complained how much we suck at closing etc. etc. Fast forward to Mac who stole practically half of UM's class and everyone was complaining about how we should have locked these guys up sooner and we waited too long.
