Mac and Company on the Trail

I am counting him as a D-tackle.

Well then

Wonder if kids start not looking at UF because of the way they treated Robinson. I tweeted at Stricklin, Florida Football, and UF. I have seen others tweet at Fuchs... I think that is a good way to go.

There is always the possibility there is more to this story, but nobody has heard it yet.

I want you to know I thought that the optics of rejecting Robinson like that might have some rebound affect on other recruits.

I don't agree with it.

Why are we playing these out in such a public manner, it just makes us look that much worse? But I'm sure the real reason is we have more leaks in the UAA than the ships at the bottom of pearl harbor.

 

[MJMGator]

Yep...and I'd take him back anytime.

Wyatt is going to South carolina.

We always hear close to signing day who is and who is not getting a NLOI to sign. I do not view this as any more public than any other year.

I hope Robinson delaying might let things calm down and he can convince UF to take him? He was down to OSU who backed out, OU who is probably not taking any controversial recruits right now and UF. I think he is smart to not sign right away.

@_StunnaJayy_: Recruiting is opened

Boy I hope Conliffe picks UF tomorrow. I really like a 305 lbs guy who has a face:

this skinny.

Another thing that amazes me is so many college students show up with and don't change email address and twitter handles like that one. I am not so sure that it helped him out in this case.

He looked huge in the UF uniform when he was on his visit. Not only big, but athletic looking (for a guy that size). Most HS age kids that size are a little soft and need some time in a college level weight program. I hope we land him as well.

Every gamecock insider has crystal balled him there recently. He's been favoring them for a while as far as i can tell. One gator has recently picked him for uf but apparently he's not taken very seriously on tos. Malik young has a couple crystal ball picks to us recently though.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Elijah Conliffe was one of four uncommitted recruits who officially visited Florida last weekend.

The 4-star defensive tackle from Hampton, Va., received an offer from the Gators on Dec. 27 and decided to check them out this month.

“I had a good time on my visit. I give it a 9.5 out of 10,” Conliffe said. “My favorite part was being around the coaches and players. I also liked seeing their facilities and the new stuff they have coming. The people are really truthful and that stuck out to me.”

Defensive tackle is one of the biggest needs for UF in the Class of 2017. Gators defensive line coach Chris Rumph highlighted Florida’s lack of depth at Conliffe’s position.

“Coach Rumph told me they really need defensive tackles and that I’m in a really good position to come in and play,” Conliffe said. “He thinks that I’m more of a nose guard and he was showing me some film of how I would fit into that position.”

UF offensive guard Richerd Desir-Jones and defensive tackle Kyree Campbell both hosted Conliffe on his visit. Campbell is the lone DT commit in Florida’s class and enrolled in January.

“Kyree was telling me that he’s really enjoying being there and he likes it,” Conliffe said. “He told me he would like to have me playing beside him down there. All of the players were real welcoming to me.”

Conliffe has previously visited Penn State and Tennessee. He’ll take a trip to Louisville this weekend and then make his decision at the end of the month.

“Florida is up there for me,” he said. “I’m committing on Jan. 31 and my finalists are those four schools.”

Report: 3-star DE Abule Abadi commits to Kentucky
ANDREW ASTLEFORD
SEC Country Staff


More stories by Andrew Astleford

Kentucky reportedly has added to its recruiting class.

As reported by 247Sports’ Ryan Bartow on Monday night, three-star defensive end Abule Abadi has committed to the Wildcats. Abadi visited Kentucky over the weekend, per Bartow. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound athlete from Lakeland, Fla., is rated as the nation’s No. 188 prospect by 247Sports’ composite rankings

Abadi chose the Wildcats over five schools, including Florida and Florida International. He’s the 24th commitment of Kentucky’s 2017 class.

Was this kid really a potential member of the class or was he a backburner option? He's being touted as a big pick up for UK and "they beat out SEC East rival Florida for his services".

I'm not in favor of taking too many of these types, but at 6'7 250 he could have been a heck of a project if he grew into the position by his sophmore year.

Right, I was hoping there might be room for him in this class too, because I really liked his highlight tape. If I were UK I would be on pins and needles about UF having a spot suddenly come open late.

Thanks and he is fitter than most 305 lbs guys.

Concliffe looks like a freaking stud. Would love to grab him
