Recruiting Adonis Thomas is a Gator!

[Swamp Donkey]

Good week for the Gators.

Possible linebacker class (Rivals rank):

Jerome Baker #4 ATH
Adonis Thomas #16 OLB
Tevon Coney #10 ILB
Jeffrey Holland #4 OLB
Roquan Smith #5 OLB

 

[Homer J]

An offensive line class of:

Jordan
Brown
Horton
Ivey
Isaiah Prince
Kendrick Norton
Edit: Jalen Merrick


Is very likely. That would probably be the best OL recruiting class we've ever had.

Thanks for pointing out that I left off Merrick Homer. I don't know how I forgot him. He would be a huge get.

Merrick?

Crazy how fast things can change. Awsome get for us.

Crap. Forgot about Merrick.

Awesome O-Line and LB crew. Not to mention a top notch signal caller that can sit wait for a couple of years. This could end up being a Better than GREAT class if we end up getting Ivey, Holland, CeCe and the others that are said to be ready to commit. The one position that we need is a RB. Dexter Williams would be perfect.

There's another offensive lineman that's being worked as well. The coaches have been really impressive in their offensive line recruitment and landing Adonis.

Well I know Tyler Jordan's been working the crap out of him. He's a big cat. Almost 300 pounds and we need some punishing guards.

Agree with this and w/Oline projection, don't forget Burrell. here's a couple of articles from 24/7 www.florida.247sports.com/Article/Top247-LB-Adonis-Thomas-commits-to-the-florida-gators-30005167/ and www.florida.247sports.com/Bolt/VIDEO-Adonis-Thomas-talks-about-picking-UF-30006773/ . Towards the end Thomas says he expects both Smith and Coney to commit.

But I thought Boom sucked at recruiting? It's been a good week, Go Gators.

I've seen very little on Burrell other than he was at Friday Night Lights. I'm not really sure where he sits but his offer sheet is impressive.

4 of UF's last 5 commits had offers from at least 4 of these 6 schools: Bama, FSU, UGA, LSU, OSU, Texas. None of UF's 5 decommits had over 2
7:57pm - 1 Aug 14

Good perspective (Zach)

More good news on the recruiting trail? That's awesome! Done well this week with filling positions of need with quality kids.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Tyler Jordan posted that. Pretty clever and that guy is doing serious recruiting for us.

That's where I got it from. Him and Brown are going a great job.

Good week for the Gators.

Somebody save this.

It's coaching he sucks at.

I saw that tweet by Zach also. It certainly does put things in a more appreciative perspective.

This is from memory,but, Ohio ST was his #1, after FNL he said it was even, loved everything about Florida, especially liked Summer, said he learned a lot and liked that he taught rather than yelled.Also , Tony Lilly is his HS coach which cant hurt at all, supposedly he's wanted an offer from the Gators for a while. WM wanted to wait until they saw how coachable he is and how hard he worked.
