2023 Recruit Football Team Rankings

We're currently ranked 12th with the 5th best class in the SEC. This is about where we usually land. So nothing's much changed yet IMO.

Bama with 6 different 5*'s. How is this even possible anymore? What are they paying these kids? And how is Deion going to compete with that kind of loot?

That's not even the full picture. They got the #1 player at pretty much every position group. CB and kickers being perhaps the only exceptions. Ok, and WR I guess. I think the bucknutz got that one.

Class is much better talent though than in previous classes. We didn't take filler this time and that's good as a whole

I agree. And I want to give Billy the opportunity to bring in his players. It's going to take a metric sh!ton of talent, all highly motivated to work together to beat the Bama's, UGA's and LSU's of the world. And soon we'll also be competing with Texas and Oklahoma.

I'm holding out for Texas Pete myself.

You guys are going the wrong direction with this. It's more like;

"Dijon Johnson reportedly already signed. By the way, I heard he has a very popular sister who might also enroll, Frenches Johnson."

 

[Detroitgator]

He really known each recruit. Great breakdown of this class

Really really knows each one... that is clear.

 

[Detroitgator]

20 players starting in January... clearly he's also big on "stable households"

 

[Detroitgator]

will continue to evaluate and look for more players

Talking about the importance that Gates committed last year and stuck with it (Napier's brother coaches against Gates' HS team)..

 

[GatorJ]

I could listen to Billy Napier talk all day

 

[Dunder]

So I guess we’ll just continue to convert DE’s into TE’s?

Can't decide if the right reply to this is this:

Or this:

I'll go with both.

 

[Tunaboat]

That was a pretty damn good ESD. Congrats to all who put in the Hard Work to make this day a solid success for Gator Nation!

 

[Durty South Swamp]

I do like these guys get after it though. They’re not afraid to go all in. Reminds me a little bit of Meyer in his first couple years.

Yeah, everything except for the successful part.

Lots of potential contributors in the class so far.

Came up short in the trenches at DT, OL, and at LB. Kept the class good but not elite right now.

So who are the likely targets for February?

Have any names been mentioned at this time?

Billy did say he’d get 25 good players to come into the freshman class….

Still work to do, to say nothing of the adventures we’re going to have in the portal……

Good thing Saban is slipping.

 

[GatorJ]

Yeah, everything except for the successful part.

I think about the same level. Obviously, Meyer became much better after his second year.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Haunted. He was teetering. Rumor is that it was auto-erotic asphyxiation. One more for old times sake on the way out.

The devil inside....

 

[aka]

The devil inside....

Every single one of us..

 

[Silverback Gator]

Bama kids Russaw and James committed to Bama as expected.

Damn, bammer killed it.

 

[AnObfuscator]

So are we still planning to fire Napier before spring? Or should we hold off?

 

[Homer J]

He's the dude that was David Silver on Beverly Hills 90120...

He was even cooler on Anger Management - Charlie Sheen's neighbor
