The donkey is always late to the recruiting party so maybe we're still trying to flip him.

Anybody know the story on Lemmons. Do we sign him and then wait to see if he makes grades. It's not like we need to hold the spot fro anybody.

He needs to tell Butters that if you arent first youre last.I think the deal's already sealed.uch:
"“I just like what they’re doing on defense, I like the swagger they have about themselves right now, nobody can dethrone them right now. What do I really want to do, do I want to win championships or be the runner up"

We're ranked 19th/8th (overall/SEC) in the current rankings. WTF?
South Carolina is 14/7. Miss State is 20/9. Arkansas is 22/10. Kentucky is 23/11. Tenn is 11/6. Why are we in a dog fight w/ these programs?
We likely move up a few spots overall since our class is so small right now (at 15 total commits). But do we move up enough to get to 7th in the SEC (ahead of our former bone-headed coach)? I just can't see us moving up to surpass Tenn for 6th....so 7th best class in the SEC is our best hope and that's IF we can pass Muschamp. Unbelievable what's become of this program.

Soooo, here's a new name: 3-star Kendarian Handy-Holly
Great size, at 6'2 200lbs.
@Swamp Donkey is going to LOVE his offer list:
http://gridironnow.com/kendarian-handy-holly-recruiting/
The list of schools is narrowing for three-star safety Kendarian Handy-Holly. But unlike most recruits, Handy-Holly’s decision has little to do with football.
“The decision I’m going to make is based strictly on the academic side,” Handy-Holly told GN. “The question I’ll ask myself is, ‘Can I see myself going there without playing ball?’ That’s where I am on that.”
So where is Handy-Holly looking?
“Minnesota, Florida and UAB,” he said. “There are a few more schools talking to me, but those three are the main ones right now.”
He plans to visit Florida, Minnesota and UAB before announcing his decision.
Handy-Holly (6 feet 2, 200 pounds) attends Jackson (Ala.) High. Jackson is a town of about 5,200 in southwest Alabama, about 30 miles from the Mississippi border. Handy-Holly is considered one of the top-40 safety prospects in the class of 2017.
Handy-Holly also has received offers from, among others, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and Kentucky. He says he will know a lot more about his future plans once he takes his official visits.
“I just want to visit and see the different places because once I commit, that’s where I am. I don’t want to rush myself,” Handy-Holly said. “I want to make sure it’s the right fit for me, the right fit for my family and going to put me in a position to be successful moving forward.”
Handy-Holly likes what he’s seen at Florida.
“That’s the first college I ever went to with my dad,” he said. “It’s always been special to me. I have a great relationship with the coaching staff, and they were one of the first big schools to come in and give me an opportunity.
“I’m just thankful, and the Swamp — that’s a special place; it’s a big deal.”
Handy-Holly says the recent coaching change at Minnesota won’t impact his decision.
“I’m not choosing a college for the coach,” he said. “I’m choosing a college that’s going to put me where I need to be for the next five or six years, help me make myself competitive in the job market and give me the necessary intangibles to take care of my family and myself.”
The way it sounds from Handy-Holly, Florida and Minnesota may be competing for a prized recruit not just on the field but in the classroom.
“You look at both Florida and Minnesota, I think they are prestigious universities,” he said. “I want to go into engineering, so I will look at the engineering departments. I’ll look to see where graduates rate in the job market and what my chances are of walking out with a job that’s going to pay me well.”

Yep. We're fighting off UAB and Minnesota for this kid!
I'm sure he's a Plan B (and I'm glad we are seeing some Plan B's on the radar vs. last year's complete failure, only landing Putu), but I'd rather steal a HS kid from a Florida HS committed to USF or UCF than UAB. I'm sure a Florida HS 3-star DB would be as good or better than an out of state 3-star DB....plus it would help us "build relationships" with a Florida HS.

He's a top 40 Safety. I'd rather have a top-40 safety than no safety.....like we did at DT last year. He's 6'2 200lbs. If our DB coach is worth a sh*t he'll coach him up and we'll have a good football player in a few years. I have no problem with it.

Well, again....at least they have a Plan F. I don't think I'll ever get over the lack of a DT in last year's class. Imagine if we signed a 290lb HS DT last year....he redshirted....about to go through Spring ball...he's up to 305lbs....and he's ready to play this year in the SEC. But that kid is a figment of my imagination, because our coaching staff "needs time to build relationships" or some bullsh*t.

I know about Campbell. He's an EE. We need 2 more (really need 12 more, but realistically we need 2 more).
