Decommits coming?

[DeltaGlamma]

There is really only a very small, vwry vocal segment of the population who thinks Taggart is good.

I will say this, Mullins wanted this job very much, he always has. You could see it in his expressions every time we hired and took someone else. He was bitter about it. Maybe they will drive him.

He also COULD have really punked us, demanded 7 or 8 mil knowing we were over a barrel.

Maybe he can pull it off again, winning with solid D and ST, and just enough O. Hevesy and Billy G are solid assistants who know how to get it done. Hopefully we can get the recruiting going bc this roster is ugly right now.

OMG, I am shocked at a semi positive message from donk....maybe there is hope after all.

Is this a thread dedicated to recruits decommitting or fans decommitting?

I wish the fans would get on board , he's our Coach for heavens sake, all the bitching is going to do is put a bunch of negative bull chit out there. Unite Gators!!!!!

What’s our “decommit to pages” ratio at? Does it factor in recruits showing interest or no? I’m confused...

Not surprising with Shannon gone.

I'm not usually a WDWHA guy, but his "Oh I'm gone!" comment about the possibility of Shannon not being retained tells me a lot about him. Not interested in a kid who thinks he makes all the rules, and isn't even willing to give UF a chance to hire a new DC to replace the old.

I'll also add this. When Richt was fired at uga, he was very clear with Eason and his family that he should stick with his uga commitment--even after he was hired at um. That's class. For all the "class guy" talk I've heard regarding Shannnon and how much he values UF, you'd think he could do a little of the same reasoning with these kids, but I guess not.

You can't wish for a coach to be fired and at the same time be shocked when players decommit. I am honestly happy that we haven't seen more at this point and Mullen and team have been brought on with enough time to hopefully land us a solid Top 10 class. That would be impressive during a transition.

Good luck to this kid. Hope he has a good career at Jacksonville State after whatever trouble he gets in due to his self-importance, I'm-bullet-proof, you-need-me-more-than-I-need-you attitude.

Maybe Mullen visited him and told him if he didn't like the new DC he should leave.... ?

But I am very nervous about his ability to recruit.

You are making a ton of assumptions. We have no idea what Shannon said to this kid. But, kids have every right to change their mind based on the coaches. Once they sign, they lose that freedom, so I have no problem in what Divaad did here. This is no different than us just flipping a UCLA commit, possibly because of their coaching change.

The shame of it is, he is a pretty good corner back prospect, and we are very short on true corner backs. We basically have Marco, who had a decent freshman season and then.....not much. Mullen and Co and going to have to move quickly to find a good replacement for him in this class because the corners have to be better than just "decent" for as often as Grantham will leave them on an island.

Divaad Wilson loves Chump. I think he’ll be a gamecock when said and done.

He is actually a 3 star....just sit back and see what Mullen brings in, we wont miss this kid one bit

How do you know he didn’t tell him to move on ?
