I normally do not pay attention to recruiting for this reason, but of course this is a very unique year.

Such BS from these guys...."haven't made my choice yet". :rolleyes:

Of course he's made his choice. But if he announced it, all the attention he's clearly eating up would stop. I despise this process and think it brings out the worst in these kids.

They intentionally string several fan bases along and get their kicks doing it. I have no respect for it.

It has tarnished things quite a bit for me as well.

This X1000. Recruiting has become an attention whorefest.

I always knew we were getting a top 10 class, so there was no reason to break down and follow every pick. None of us have ever seen anything like this. It's like we're Lousiana-Lafayette or something.

Actually LA Lafayette is #74 and UF is #82.

^ I don't have VIP to read that Goldkamp article but I can see that both Billy Napier and Derek Dooley are tagged as in the article.

He's trolling the right people. If it weren't for fans following all of these kids and paying to be members of recruiting sites, then there would be no one to troll. The customers are getting what they pay for. :lol:

If the old board hadn't been dismantled, I could pull up posts from over a year ago, mapping out exactly how this would go. But honestly, even I didn't think it would be this bad.

Neither did I, but we all knew it wasn't going to be a good class during a transitional year unless we hired Calapari.

All I can say is NSD will either be a huge moral booster for all of Gator Nation, or it'll be a huge kick in the nuts. Either is as likely as the other imo. Here's to having faith in our new coaching staff. Do the best you can fellas and get us some players you feel like you can work with and develop into the pieces we need to complete the puzzle that will be UF Football of the future.:headbang:

I'll worry on Feb 5th, until then it's pointless.
