Recruiting 2024 Recruiting Thread: 4* 315 pound DL D'antre Robinson commits

[Altitude Gator]

I think we hire our first black head coach. Mel Tucker can be had on the cheap.

Not a bad coach - just don't let him set up the team's "speakers" for motivation and learnin'.

All the more reason these firings made no sense. The mantra all year was twofold—that we were a young team that just hadn’t learned how to finish, and that he had tremendous confidence in the group in our locker room. Either way he had to know he’s coaching for his life next year. The best chance we had to save him was continuity and off-season growth, with hopefully a surprise contribution impact from either the portal or a Lb incoming recruit. He all but killed any chance we had, and worse, obviously didn’t have a clear path toward new hires in place. I’m doing so, he basically announced to the world that he wasn’t being forthright all year, and that he completely has no clue how to run a football program of this stature. It’s not any wonder that players, on campus already or not, are pulling away from him. Another completely self inflicted wound in a seemingly endless series of such moves.

he didn't fire those two...no doubt they asked to be released or just plain resigned. I'd bet $ they quit because they wanted to jump off the sinking ship immediately and go elsewhere.

I'm starting to think the same. I bet they both gave thier notice before the end of the season and agreed to stay on through the last game.

At least we can hang our hats on this!
Was a time you could sell mom on something like this, because there's life after football to think about. Now they can make bank playing college ball. Momma's saying "get that money"

I didn’t know that.

Congratulations to Mincy and McCray for winning state. Mainland came back.

He should have used a sling blade. Some call it a kaiser blade but I call it a sling blade.

There’s very a very good chance he doesn’t end up at UF, so I’d hold off on too much congratulating.

It was a blocked field goal Edgar, not a punt. Great reporting

Which one?

Which one?

Err'body

 

[soflagator]

Which one?

Right now I’d say neither. Some of these kids have this little hang up about not knowing who their position coach will be.

Just a follow up on Filsaime, as I mentioned earlier he was supposed to have an in home visit from Napier and was told bu the head coach that he’d be bringing the DBs coach. Well, didn’t happen, no one visited him—the 5* safety and second highest rated recruit we have—and we rescheduled for next week. Texas stopped by instead, ahead of his official visit to them next weekend.

Go yourself. Send Armstrong. Whatever. Sell your vision and ensure that a name will happen and he’ll be happy. Don’t freaking reschedule like second rate chiropractor, not to mention painting yourself into a corner by speaking in absolutes like that.

Napier is a good enough guy and needs to come to terms with the fact that he’s not cut out for a job this size. Make some sort of concession to mutually end this before it gets really ugly for all parties. Incidents like above just conform that all the organization and attention to detail we heard about, and were certainly the case at his previous stop, have gone out the window.

Filsaime to Texas? If we're honest, it was probably a very easy sell.



I wish we spent three times the time recruiting Florida as we did Texas, LA, and GA.
