DT Jordon Scott Decommits

[LagoonGator68]

6'1"---380----ate his way out of offer

Just so somewhere else he doesn't throw his weight around dominating opposing offenses.

Our star average just went up.

Maybe we can replace him for more stars.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

He'll love the winters up in Minnesooooooooota. Or the raucous crowds at an FAU game...

Well, you do need extra insulation for those Minnesota winters.

He's well insulated for Minnesota.

Although we need bodies, I wouldn't want a guy who might have a heart attack while trotting on the field!

Scott is ESPNs #47 DT and I honestly don't know what the deal is with him. I think we'd heard the staff was cooling on him and his weight issue, but instead of being motivated to better himself, he chooses to go Minnesota. Has he ever been to Minnesota in the winter? I hope the best for him, but I suspect he's got some issues that would pop up eventually.
Moving on, we're looking at Truesdale #32.
Offers out to:
J. Twyman #28 http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/213015/jaylen-twyman
E. McNeil #22 http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/217320/emmanuel-mcneil
A. Sterling #15 http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/205310/aaron-sterling
D. Wade-Perry #13 http://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/210605/dalyn-wade-perry
and 4 other guys in the top 10. Alabama can't get em all can they?

As for Telfort, well, if he's going to FAU, then there's definitely something going on there we want nothing to do with.

Good list and thanks for posting.

Honestly, I wasn't too excited about the kid to begin with...but we do NEED DT's in this class. So, on that I was okay w/ taking him. Unless he's replaced w/ another DT this is a problem (and we all know it). A kid like him would have been a perfect Plan B in the last class, but the staff signed no DTs. I'd love to land Truesdale AND a Plan B (to give us 4 in this class). Hopefully we don't whiff and only end up with 2.

I still think we need to move a OL over to DL (or two). McCoy is only 6'1 and Buchanan is 6'2. Those are two candidates.

Also, you have to think when Riles returns he is moved to DL full-time. He's played in at least 6 games as a DT. And honestly, he's no different than Fred Johnson so do we really need him back on that side of the ball? Well, if we whiff on OL's in this class he may be needed on the OL....

Not worried at all. I don't know if y'all are tracking this WR we got. He is supposed to be a BEAST!!!!! His name is Ahmad Fulwood, and I am sure he will light it up next year!

Riles should be a no brainer to move over next year. As far as the others go, idk how many we can afford to lose on that side.We dont have any olinemen committed n this class either.

FIFY

 

[G8RATL]

No worries, I heard this is Debose's break out year

The next Percy Harvey

WHAT THE FVKK IS GOING ON???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARE WE ACTUALLY PAYING THESE FVKKING IDIOTS FOR THIS?

 

[MissouriGator]

I don't get this whole recruiting fiasco; how can these guys not understand the significance of recruiting top -notch lineman? Especially since bama's dominate Oline was such a big part of Mac's success there. The bottom line is that our staff just--for whatever reason--isn't capable of recruiting lineman. As we all know, that has to change, or we're going to be left in mediocrity for another 4 years. I'm just hoping that the product on the field will advance enough to offset these guys' lack of personality. Because staff changes at this point could hurt us even more (if that's possible).

 

[t-gator]

I dont think it's possible to hurt us anymore recruiting wise. Even though I didn't think it was possible for us to recruit this bad at Florida so who knows .

So true.

Thanks... I like hearing that Donaldson may flip from Miami, but how is it possible we would only have 1 OL commit. I don't understand what makes us so unattractive to OL right now...

Let me think about it... what has been the consistent factor over the past 3 years... has there been one thing or person who has been here...? Ah... the OL coach.... SUMMERS!

Seriously... what is it going to take to replace him. We have got to be able to get some guys out of LSU or something.

So we have a couple of options since Jordon Scott porked up. Truesdell seems to be our best option. The kid from Clearwater (Kane Taylor) needs to qualify academically, which isn't good. I wonder if there's another Plan B if these options fall through. For example, here's a DT committed to USF from Sarasota Booker HS, Kelvin Pinkney: 6'2 287lbs: http://247sports.com/player/kelvin-pinkney-88189

Agree and if he's kept on the staff (along w/ Nord) McElwain might as well pack his bags. It's inexcusable.
