Unless this kid has an Aaron Hernandez type character this is so damning to this staff.“I would definitely consider Florida,” Rivals100 defensive back Asante Samuel Jr. said. “But they haven’t offered me. I can’t tell you why. They have offered DBs smaller than me and slower than me. They offer late, man. They get in late then it’s an uphill battle and becomes a hard process for them.”

Why are we waiting until late in the game to offer a kid like this? You see this a lot with this staff.
It might also be questionable if it were not for the fact that nearly every one mentions Florida arriving late to the scene.Unless this kid has an Aaron Hernandez type character this is so damning to this staff.

Yes...watch him go elsewhere.I thought Ruggs looked impressive. Is he on our watch list?
I hope my fellow posters don't think I'm just piling on but at this point I'd almost rather not know who is offered or on our want list....This staff is like a huge can of "Talent away" ......I've never seen anything like it. Hell, even when UT had that joke of a coach Dooley they were recruiting better than we are now.....Yes...watch him go elsewhere.
I rembember reading in here that was Bama's leftovers. He looked anything but that. He was fast and very athletic with decent size.Yes...watch him go elsewhere.

But the thing is Mac KNOWS what it takes. He has seen it first hand at Bama. I realize he's working with a smaller budget and staff, but guys have done much better with much less. I agree, it's got to be his lack of passion for it. Perhaps he just preferred someone else doing the work of providing him with the players he could then call the plays for at Bama.My take on why is really simple. He and his staff just aren't cut out for big boy football. They are purely reactionary in nature. No forward thinking. No real long term plan and a detailed process to realize the goals of the plan. They get lapped by the big boys who know and are working these kids before Mac and Co even realize they might need some of them in the future. Couple that with the "golly gee shucks, it sure is kewl to play for the gators" schtick and this is what we end up with.
They aren't passionate about recruiting or anything else for that matter and thus, little motivation to get after it early and compete late. Oh well, at least we have basketba.... errr... ahhh... I mean baseball.

This is exactly the reason. He's not motivated like the hotshot HCs are to do that stuff, and that's what it takes. It's also why our team rarely looks motivated. Motivation filters down; without it at the top, it wont exist at the bottom.Perhaps he just preferred someone else doing the work of providing him with the players he could then call the plays for at Bama.
