Mac and Company on the Trail

[BMF]

I saw a rumor Worton is gone. There will be more.

Haven't seen that....and wouldn't be surprised. I expect no less than 4 gone by kickoff in September.

Anyone think its coincidental that the week leading up to NSD we are snagging a recruit and the headlines each day? Almost like they were told to wait and build momentum making us the star of NSD?

You think signing 2 star plan Z players is building momentum?

 

[aka]

I assume it's out of necessity. It's like getting excited about eating celery.

Which 2 star guys have we signed, must have missed that or are all 3 and 4 star guys 2 star guys in your world?

It has been reported that we can only take 25. We have no room in prior classes to roll back scholarships. I think we need one person to leave to have room for 25. Maybe Del Taco is transferring...again.

IDK... I thought the plan was always to take 25... Remember last year Mac claimed we were gonna have a "big" class... maybe could take as many as 30 or so and then we ended up with like 22 or so... We've been under our limit for 4 or more years in a row and it seemed like the working assumption was we'd be taking a full class this year because with graduation, early departures (NFL draft or transfer) we'd still be under 85 again next year...

Its too bad really. I was starting to enjoy the "This is the year Worton breaks out" threads frim the usual clueless people.

The SEC caps it at 25 per class and the NCAA caps it at 85 scholarship players per team. Since we are and have been under the 85 limit for a few years running, we can sign 25 and STILL be under the 85 limit due to graduation and early departures. If we signed 25, we'd still be short scholarship players.

For the life of me, I don't understand it... It's like self-imposed sanctions...

Well for todays discussion you are confusing signing and initial grant in aid offers.

1. The NCAA limits grant in aids to 85 total.

2. The NCAA limits initial grant in aids to 25 total.

3. The SEC limits signings (or announcements) to 25.

4. UF policy on 4 year scholarships limits UF's signings to 85 less returning scholarship players.

5. You can count some December signings on the prior year IF you had room in categories 1 and 2 above.

The NCAA's limits are the real ones. The SEC limit is a PR move and has more to do with what is announced by each school in their signing day press release than anything else. UF's limit is similarly a PR move so that it is not clear when someone is squeezed out..

Apparently UF thinks based on limit 4 that 23 or maybe 24 is the number this year. As other spots open up UF will have more room that is not open today. A prudent coach would concern himself with the UF issue.

Word is Edwards and Henderson are swaying in the wind. Henderson cut communication off and now is trying to contact Rumph. Edwards was blown away and had a great visit. Also an insider thinks the bs Miami tried to pull with the cheating allegations has rubbed them the wrong way. Could have mixed a little of that up as I read it very early this morning but that's the jist of it

Hey man it was a BOLD prediction!

Plus, pretty sure you were a Muschamp nutswinger when he first got on campus. Guess you are one of the "clueless people" *sips tea*

This is where Shannon tells his pops that FSU is sending pornstars after his kid

For all you stargazers, it appears Urban is turning a low 3 star UMo commitment:

I guess the sky is falling at Ohio State too?

Hiring a porn star to the staff would be a positive move by Mac. Just keep Nord away.

Yes it is a possibility. We are not privy to what goes on behind the scenes.

I don't think Jones was ever seriously coming here. Was a courtesy to Shannon.

Are they hanging out in the basement of power 5 programs recruiting wise too or nah?

This. His parents want him here but he doesn't want to come here. Not much else you can do.

Except when he commits there to blame it on pornstars. And if there are pornstars, there are typically drugs
