3* RB Malik Davis commits

[ATXGator]

Cronk is gone at the end of the season, you can bank on that

That is probably a good point. So we still have 3 solid RBs and honestly I don't mind not having 4 players trying to get playing time... it seems the staff is reluctant to focus on the two best right now (which is frustrating)!

While I would love to still get Lemons if he gets his stuff together... I don't think RB is a key need for us this recruiting cycle, so I am not going to freak out about getting a 3 star here. I'm much more focused on OL, DL and LB.

 

[GatorBart]

You must be out of the loop. Lemons decommited again already....

Yep, and 3 hours behind. I posted that at 5:31AM my time without looking at anything else.
It's all making sense now.

 

[maheo30]

We beat out Colorado St., Bowling Green, and FIU for him. Can you say bragging rights? We're title contenders again!

 

[TheDouglas78]

Looks like Davis was our Plan B, if Lemmon's Lemmoned

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Geezz...at least when Muschamp recruited a RB named Davis he was a solid 4star......granted he decommitted, went to USCe, played for SOS and had a stellar career there but he was our 4 star for a while

Davis is our lowest ranked commit of the 2017 class. Party.

Its early. We will sign plenty if leftovers soon enough.

Have I figured the MacCrew out =
"When you're facing the wrong direction, progress is made by striding backward."
So when this Gator flight of fancy crashes and burns and we investigate Mac's Black Box, nobody
will be able to figure it out ?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Kid is actually legit

You know I love you Slevin, but STFU.

I am sensing law isn't thrilled with this addition?

 

[soflagator]

Obviously not a highly rated RB but his tape isn't too bad. What I noticed is the fact the kid hits the hole really fast. Thats something we have been missing. He also is the fastest kid on the field. Not sure about the level of [competition] he is playing though. Pretty sure he will RS and add about 20lbs to that frame. Could be a bust or he could be a find, who knows. Offers include: Louisville, UNC, Miami, Missouri, WV. Perine was a 3 star when he first committed also.

Go Gators!!!

I'd be totally good with that description of a prospect...if it wasn't almost verbatim what we hear about virtually every other player we land...and if it was someone we decide to throw in just before NSD because we had an extra scholly.

Yes, we've landed a few under the radar guys in the last 2 classes. But more often than not, the guys who are making impact on the field(outside of OL) are highly ranked players. The other guys playing exactly as they were projected to play when they were coming out of HS. We can't keep trying to out think the rankings and/or the other teams we face. It really has to come to an end.

i'm sure now that we've offered him he will get his 4th star, isn't that how it worx? -

I agree w' you. Thats why is said who knows. Apparently no one in the program knows because our recruiting is bad, plain and simple. I really want Leatherwood, I think he will turn some eyes toward the Gators if he flips to us.

Go Gators!!!

That's what happened to Lamical Perine.

 

[gatorkev85]

Can't wait to watch this kid ride the bench for 5 years and take up a scholarship

 

[maheo30]

How do they look at our roster and say we need more runningbacks, but DT is all good?

 

[CapitalGator02]

My God, Saturday can't come soon enough.

 

[TheBigClaw]

Research on him shows he is the leading running back in Hillsborough county history, so that is something positive. This is what his coach has to say about him . Seems like a guy who could be a gem.

Because we can add 150 pounds to the RBs and then you have instant DT.

but we can't even add 40 lbs to a DE & make a DT

Too thin at the D line position to do that.
