Disappointing Signing Day

Billy Bob!

That is the oxking's all-time favorite movie. He's watched it 10,000 times.

I had no clue til years later. Also one of the minor parts was Stallone's brother and one of the cowboys-bit part- was either an Earp or a Clanton. I forget which.

I did not know it was Billy Bob Thornton. Nice call.

I thought ya'll were talking about the crying game.

The #6 class is a solid class?

We filled almost every need.

We lost one LB and gained 3.
We lost 2 CBs and gained 3.
We lost 1 WR and gained 5 studs.
We lost one safety and gained 2
We lost 2 DEs and gained 3

Six? Is that a Gator ranking site?

Rivals has us 12th and they are the gold standard

You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed? D@mn great movie.

The class left a less than stellar feeling in the soul, especially after all the ground we made up late last year after Mac arrived. I think after dropping 3 at the end of the year we'd like to wash the foul taste off the palate.

At least there's still bourbon.

6th in the SEC and 12th in the nation.

Looks like Mac Train hasn't pulled into the station quite yet. Seems like we nabbed one from Arky. No wonder BB was ticked at us...

Wonder if 'Crete will be happy or sad about this ?

We filled needs, good class. Last year around 20, this year around ten, next year top five. Just have to keep building momentum with kids coming in next year like this. Our 5 * QB already committed saying...

Now let's go get a number one class!

From the article:

Maybe there's a reason other than his presumably constant consumption of processed meat that Bret Bielema sounded salty earlier!

 

[I Have No Friends :(]

Jake Allen's enthusiasm makes it very easy to root for him. If he lives up to the hype and is able to help rally a top class for '17, we may be able to look back at that someday and say that was the point when things began to recover around here after the dreadful job Meyer and Muschamp did running our program into the ground.

Looking at Mac's first two classes has me thinking we'll be better in 2016 than 2017, 2018. That's a bad trend.

Based on what?

Quit playing stupid.

This class will be just fine.. We filled our needs especially at QB, K, WR, and RB. How did Urban's last class at UF turn out?? Wasn't it ranked #1 and did jack squat?? Its how they produce on the field so recruiting means nothing as of right now.

A little unbalanced, sure. But coached by anything other than the chimpanzee they were dealt, that 2010 class would've produced a ring of some sort.

Otherwise, I tend to agree. Not a great finish but not a hateful class. The problem we face is that we'll face half the teams that finished in front of us. So there is some merit to the sentiment that these classes won't cut it if our goal is to win championships.

You're right. 23rd on Rivals last year, 13th on Rivals this year.....backwards

We lost our only DT and gained ..... oh yeah, nothing

Fully agree. It's the one thing we haven't had in a while--a top QB that has committed and is trying to rally other big names to make a special class. Grier tried but was battling 4-8 and Muschamp's stupidity. Driskel just wasn't that type and had plenty of people questioning his abilities at the next level. You'd have to go back to Cam in 2007 or Tebow in 2006 to have a similar feel.

anyone else see this:

Just prior to Putu’s commitment, the Gators received notice from safety Antonio Nelson that he would be signing with UF.

But it’s unclear if Florida will accept his signed letter of intent after it appeared they had moved on from Nelson.

Based on what?

Inexperience and depth problems at LB, depth and size issues at DT, and a downgrade at DB with the probable losses of Tabor and Wilson. We may have an OK secondary then, but still not as good as last year and this year. We will have good pass rushers at least.

While I agree 2017 looks to be a down year, 2018 could be a lot better if next year's class is really good.
