Ok. Didn't notice Dan had asked above. Thanks.

Exactly my thoughts.soflagator;n150214 said:I'll say this. I'm not optimistic at all that we land any of these big names, and that feeling grows with every passing day. If we were sitting here with even a normal sized class, I could see these life long Gator fans letting things play out and announcing at the end that they're jumping on board as well. But that's simply not reality. We're ranked in the 90s with the smallest class I can ever remember at this stage, and if not fixed soon, will be facing a really difficult situation in a few years when these recruits are almost entirely relied upon. The only way I see them coming on board is if they truly see the vision of Mac and want to be a part of it. But if that were the case, I think it would be tremendously disrespectful of them to stand by and watch our "brand" being continuously drug through the mud. If you're a Gator at heart, help get things rolling again. Even from a selfish standpoint, no one or two players can do it alone. You need a supporting cast that want to play with you and rebuild things here. They're actually hurting themselves with delaying things, if that's really their intentions, which also makes me question them from a character standpoint.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming them for our current state. But I just think if they wanted to be Gators, given the circumstances, and knowing what they're committing would do in terms of momentum, they would've and should've done it already.

It's always darkest just before the dawn.soflagator;n150248 said:I probably should've added that I think we'll be fine over time. It wasn't so much to come across as panic, but to just say that I think we're probably not going to get these bigger guys this year. And if we are, and they're just playing the game, I think it's extremely counterproductive for both parties. Either way though, we'll be fine once we show progress on the field. It definitely sucks that we put JM in this situation, but I was really hoping he'd be able to mitigate the damages a little sooner. Again, no panic, just a little disappointment with where we are.
The Buck position left with Muschamp. Who knows what scheme we'll play. Imo Cowart is ready to play at this level now. CeCe could possibly split time with McAllister.alcoholica;n150270 said:I don't think we get both Cowart and Jefferson. I read an article recently where they both want to play the Buck position. Unless we get real creative on defense, it doesn't look like we'd see both on the field at the same time. On top of that, McAllister was just starting to come on last year, so I doubt the young guys will pass him next year as a starter

alcoholica;n150340 said:Collins said that they will run the hybrid position. Whether the call it the Buck, the Jack (Bama), or some other name doesn't really matter. The coaches have gone on record saying the position will exist. If not, Cowart is on record saying he wants to play standing up in college. Obviously things can change, but they've got to get him signed first.
