Gators may pick up a 4 star OT

[Gator2222]

Jake Fruhmorgen was a 4 star OT out of Tampa that signed with Clemson in 2015. He was rated the nation's 8th best OT and the state of Florida's 20th best player coming out of high school. He held offers from 30 schools including Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, FSU, LSU, Michigan, Ohio State and Tennessee. Fruhmorgen is listed at 6-5 290.

He started the first 8 games at Clemson as the right tackle this season. Then he suffered a shoulder injury. Shortly after that he left the team and returned home to Tampa to deal with what coach Dabo called personal issues.

Fruhmorgen's father recently told a reporter that his son intends to transfer from Clemson. Dabo has also confirmed the transfer. He is reportedly choosing between Florida and Michigan. He will have to sit out a year at his new school. Fruhmorgen will have 3 years in which to play his final 2 years of eligibility.

If he goes to Michigan he'll be an All American, if he come here he'll probably be a disappointment with this piss poor coaching. With that said I hope he comes here.

Yep there's quite a bit about this for about a week ago in the recruiting threat. Slevin said that they were trying to get a waiver so he can play immediately

Frugmorgen most certainly is NOT a 4 star OT. He is a college player. He is a college player who started multiple games at a high level program. That is VASTLY different and VASTLY better than a 4 star high school kid. Good Grief.

 

[T REX]

Thank god we have an OL coach he can talk to.

 

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

Has anyone ever watched him play? If not go to youtube and pull up the first 3 or 4 clemson games from this season and you'll see all you need to know about this dude. He'll add depth but that's about it.

Exactly. He is like 6 star player, or two 4 stars, because you know one at least will flop.

If we get him, it's a big deal. There really isn't much excuse for us not landing him the first time. We showed up late, as always.

Sounds like Mac's kind of guy.

 

[rogdochar]

Do we have an OL-coach now? For this guy or any OL recruit to commit to? Or will many choose a school
that has an OL-coach?

Well, I just watched the first two series of this :

He is #63 playing RT. He is playing against 285 lb DE All ACC end (Demarcus Walker) and holding his own.

He looks solid for as long I could watch it. (Too much Nollishness.) IMO he would have been an upgrade at either tackle position for us this year. I doubt we have single player that would play on Clemsons OL (though JT if he develops as we hope perhaps would next year). I don't know how bad his shoulder is, but if he's healthy then he is much better than depth for us. I wonder if he is pretty hurt already in that game bc there are a few times when he lets his right arm hang in a weird manner.

Edit: third series he is out.

 

[oxking]

we need big uglies, especiall ones that can play. of course, with sommers gone, who will the OL coach be. I heard we got out bid for Locksley.

 

[TN G8tr]

He'll add depth, size, and experience. We need all of that we can get.

 

[Marianna-FL_Gator]

I heard we got out bid for Locksley.

That's the #1 reason why we always miss on elite recruiters/coaches...we always get outbid...ALWAYS!!!

 

[Swamp Donkey]

. I heard we got out bid for Locksley.

I cant say that Im particularly excited with the new AD.

So far, he seems just like the old one.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Thank god we have an OL coach he can talk to.

Our timing is impeccable.... Seriously though if the rest of our staff can't step up and sell him on playing an hour away from his home in the SEC then our problems are worse even than I imagine them to be...Talk about cherry picking, it really doesn't get any easier than this.

I skipped around this thread a little so I may have missed it, but I wonder if his personal issue was Clemson telling him he likely won't be playing much more football due to he severity of his injury? We've certainly had our share of that around here the last 4 or 5 years......
Otherwise we need to get this dude. I'd take a guy who has a full year under his belt of CFB, weightroom, nutrition and maturity are key, and he wouldn't need a redshirt like a true freshmen. Add in the fact that he has already seen some of the best defensive linemen he will ever see while playing CFB. No brainer.

So does this mean I am going to have to retire my current screen name and change it to a different one? if so I guess I should just copyright the following screen name: "Fire (Insert Current UF AD Name Here)".;)
