Was there a “Most Accurate” or “Don’t Poop Your Pants In The Pocket” competition as well?
In California, yes. On vacation? Not entirely.

I don’t care so much that he threw the farthest, but the fact that he went across the country to get elite coaching in a high-level camp is a good thing.

Najee Harris plays for Alabama. Do you mean D'Andre Swift or Zamir White?

Dammit my bad I meant Zamir White. Swift is great too but he will be a junior when Sanders is a freshman. Trey Sanders isn't better than Zamir White. Going to UGA to ride pine for at least 2 years doesn't seem smart.
Zamir White is recovering from ACL surgery. There's a fair chance he's not going to be the same runner.
They got James cook too
UF targets attending The Opening Finals
https://247sports.com/college/flori...argets-attending-The-Opening-Finals-118587350
The Opening Finals features over 160 of the nation’s best high school football recruits. Over the years, the event has earned the reputation as being the best stop of the summer as top prospects from coast to coast do battle for three days of head to head competition. The player rankings also often see a major shake-up after getting to see those top recruits workout side by side.
The competition features combine testing, position drills, one-on-ones for both skill players and linemen, as well as a seven-on-seven tournament. The linemen pad up for their battles in the trenches, while the elite crop of receivers test their talents against the best defensive backs during one-on-one and seven-on-seven portions of the week. Overall, if a player stands out during this week, there is a good chance he will be considered the best of the best.
This year, the elite camp will move from NIKE World Headquarters in Beaverton, Ore. to The Star in Frisco, Texas, which happens to be headquarters for the Dallas Cowboys. The event will be held June 30 through July 3, and 247Sports will bring blowout coverage of the even each and every day.
The camp will feature several top recruiting targets of the Florida Gators. Below is a list of those prospects the Gators are pursuing in the elite camp:
Thousand Oaks (Calif.) Oaks Christian 5-star WDE Kayvon Thibodeaux
Amite (La.) 5-star DT Ishmael Sopsher

I'm sure we're still contacting him, but he seems headed to Oregon. Why? Who the hell knows. Our DL recruiting needs to pick up bigtime. If we don't get Hunter, it looks like our entire DL haul will be 3-star players.
I really don’t mind 3*s on the lines, as long as they aren’t forced into early playing time. Most linemen will need time to gain weight and/or add strength. The place we need the blue-chippers is in both backfields.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to have a few 5* linemen, but I’m more concerned with LBs, DBs, QBs, WRs and RBs being amongst the “elite”.
I don't think we land Pickering, but it would be a huge, huge, huge get for Mullen. We can dream....can't we?
I hear you. But I'm tired of this mantra. How about we get more 4-stars at ALL positions vs. 3's?
We have also fallen behind on Emery Jones cousin, Keiondre Jones (4-star OL from Georgia). He visited Clemson and seems to be favoring them also. I'm hoping it's the 'flavor of the day' syndrome (liking the most recent school he visited). He's been a UF lean for a while. We can't let him slip. He's likely our only 4-star OL in this class (if we get him). Again, ridiculous.
On the DL, we have a shot at Alabama 3-star DT Patrick Lucas (mainly because Alabama doesn't want him.....and Auburn may get the kids higher on their board).
UGA is in on about 8 really good DT's. They can't get them all. We need to hope we get some scraps.
We could get one of the 4-star IMG OL's. If we can get Sanders it would help. Hammond is the one we have the best shot at.
Summerall is a possibility at DE and so is Hunter (who likely grows into a DT).
Our best shot at Florida 4-star kids are: Elam, Sanders, Zipperer, Hunter, Summerall, Hammond, and J. Davis (from STA). I'm guessing we get 4 of them, w/ OL Wardrick Wilson already committed, that would be 5 of the top 50 Florida kids (some of which are IMG kids).
We need 4/5 stars all across the line. Couple of late 3s with potential... fine. But you win in the trenches and that’s where we need the highest talent consistently - it’s what sets the SEC apart. Could accept 3 stars at TE and LB, maybe guard but really need to get after 4+ everywhere else.
Just hoping for some scraps.
Sadly it's true. Honestly, Hunter may be one of their scraps. They're in on about 8 really good DE's too.

UF offered WR Rashean Lynn (6-5, 184, Cocoa, FL. High). He's visiting on June 2nd.
Agree. 3-5 3* guys are ok. I’m not too worried about 5* vs. 4*, but the roster needs to be loaded with them because 50-60% won’t be starters or stars. It takes 70 of them plus a few 3* finds to get a solid 2-deep, allowing for attrition of various types.
