Good news. Notice Mcelwain seems to be getting bodies for our two biggest needs, OL and LB. I like it

Gator grad on the scene!

Great news!! A very needy position and experienced too. Mac is filling the needs little by little. I'd give him an A so far for the way he closed the recruiting cycle and picked up bodies during this period. Now just coach them up and win!

I concur. It also makes me wonder if the resources they're spending looking to fill holes on our current roster may be hurting us a bit in recruiting right now.

I understand your point, but I would answer by saying it would be easy to say to a LB recruit that because of the depth he would see early rotation time and those ahead of him will be gone soon. On a general note, I think the coaching staff realizes that winning will get us the recruits we need, so being able to field a team with the depth to make it through the season is a higher priority.

Outstanding news! As was already mentioned above, this provides depth at a position of need from an experienced player. The leadership and intelligence aspects from a senior, presumably a smart kid if he was able to graduate from GT, are added bonuses.

 

[GatorJ]

With such an issue at depth, we just need bodies. Let's try to get talent through recruiting.

I wonder what Jake from State Farm thinks about this guy using his name for Twitter. The gold is not too far off from khaki.

 

[NavetG8r]

Great news! Thanks for sharing.

I believe a lot of this "mining" of under the radar guys who are immediately eligible is due to the new support staff that Mac has been able to convince Foley that was needed.

They've been good catches at positions of need. However, no game breakers. The OT from Fordham appears to be the best chance to start.

On another note, funny how now that Jimbo has Golston for his QB, FSU is suddenly suspending another QB for allegedly punching a woman.

I wouldn't know how that could be the case. We really can't recruit or contact these kids until they are released by the previous school. Any gauging of interest must be done through intermediaries.

This may also give AM a break coming back from injury sooner than he needs. And if he can play maybe lessen his reps until mid season or so.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

AM, AA, and Rolin all have significant injury histories and Jeremy Powell is a safety that is too slow to play safety. We need a body in the worst way. I won't be surprised to see him start much of the year.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Makes you wonder what the "minister" will do if we have a couple of guys go down.....as curious as I am about offense this coming year I'm a tad worried about being down a bit on defense. We had a few bad moments in the first half of last season but we were playing as well as anyone at the end.

 

[NVGator]

Wonder why GT is claiming he's been suspended?

McMillian may be a starter.

Could be, but in this instance picking up a 5th year player should not impact us as much being a one and done.

 

[TN G8tr]

GT didn't want him anyway.
