I agree! I'm hearing (from my buddy in Pensacola who's a high school coach) he's looking for immediate playing time. There's no doubt he'd start for us immediately but "The little bastard" is telling him he can start for them immediately also. There's no way in hell he starts at Bama next year with the dudes they have on that depth chart.

Their LT started as a Freshmen and he'll be leaving this year. Wouldn't surprise me if he got playing time there as a freshman.

They came after Voshean Joseph at the end of last year hard. He was a Plan B for them, after they missed on whomever they had in front of him. I was very surprised when Joseph ended up at UF. Our bagman must have made a second drop off to reaffirm his commitment.

There's an article where Saban had to look at a piece of paper to get his name right. He just spoke about how disrespected he felt by Bama. I think he may be the recruit where they made them walk everywhere and other schools had carts for them. Not sure though, but it's not like we really beat out Bama. It was probably a ploy to occupy us while they went after the CB who flipped.

I'm just happy it's not coming down to us or LSU. He'd end up in BR for sure.

LSU would draw a line in the sand and it would be over, UF would cave.

Leatherwood will make his final decision and sign his enrollments papers on DEC 16th. From what I'm hearing we've gained some serious ground here and it's going to be US or Bama.

Are we really sure Bama wants him or is this Saban just screwing with us so we take the kid (kind of like he did to us coaching-wise with Brent Pease)?

He's a 5* OT already committed to Bama. He might flip to us.

Sorry but Joseph said publicly that he would commit if they gave him a commitable offer. It never came. He was more like plan D and Bammer knew they had the two five stars locked in already.

When the last time we dragged a 5 star away from Bama? Of course, if he chooses UF, he can play for Summers.

We took 1 last year and hopefully we'll get another this year. It's not impossible...Longshot? Probably so! However...they are not invincible and have lost guys before so we'll see what happens.

Has this guy ever even come on a visit to UF? I could be wrong but I remember every time he's been scheduled he cancels and does something else. If this is the case and it continues, I'd be absolutely :faint: if he wasn't wearing crimson red on signing day.

So if we keep this up, in 4 years, we'll have 4 players on our roster that Alabama wanted? Just kidding, I hope we get this guy. I'm tired of Bama plucking whoever the hell they want out of the Pensacola area.
