Recruiting Official Recruiting Thread for the stretch run #7

Crap...I just read that Guz and AU are after him! What tha heck!

It's almost comical now. Almost

 

[Alagator]

I actually think it's worse for us if he is decomitting now. I think if we got him it would have been a flip type situation so he could pull a shocker. In fact I want every recruit to keep our name out they mouf till NSD!!

Well, after reading that he immediately deleted the tweet, you may get your wish.

Your logic escapes me.

Just kidding! That would not be a shocker though...

That Clutchlikemj dude said it was supposed to be a secret until NSD and thinks someone let the cat out of the bag early.

Now why couldn't Zach just said francois has decommitted from the noles? Why try to make the kid look bad

Because he's trying to protect his own credibility. His ass has been held to the fire a little this recruiting season, and me thinks he's feeling the heat.

Ironically, after seeing that Zach reported on it, I almost made a joke saying, 'Oh great! Zach reported it! Now he's gonna re-commit to the holes for sure!'

T is excited......

You know how I feel about our qb situation. Treon doesn't have the arm strength and we don't know when the grier family will allow Will to play.

Because he predicted him to go to the suckitnoles and that would make him look bad, guessing?

Name ONE juco who is doing this.

This guy just committed (verbally) late Tuesday night to a powerhouse Div 1 program.

Maybe he was the last one in the country? I'm guessing probably not. There are probably around 100 JC O-lineman who will play Div1-II football in 2015. You think they have all committed and signed. I'm pretty sure you are wrong.

 

[Alagator]

Yet again Zach has to make sure everybody knows he wasn't technically wrong.

Yep. D' bag move, for sure.

This is interesting, has to be to see Francois. Something tells me UF may still be in on Francois despite the reports to the contrary. We're certainly being relentless in pursuing him.

@MistaAlderman: #Florida coaches at #IMG Academy today https://t.co/TeOeNjJUmv

Been trying to tell y'all about Francois. Two things he doesn't like; 1) Jimbob has been pushy as hell in his recruitment of Francois, like a spoiled, whiny brat, and it's rubbing Francois wrong. He didn't want Francois to visit UF, he didn't want Francois to host our coaches, some suggest that he pressured Francois to publicly re-commit to the Semi's after his UF visit. 2) Francois does NOT like that FSU has 3 QB's committed and really doesn't like Jimbob's love affair with Kai Locksley.

I'm still not predicting a flip, but I continue to say we aren't out of it.

Btw, Zach deleted his own post above and issued this.

@zachabolveri
Deleted my initial tweet on Deondre Francois' apparent decommitment since he deleted his. Working to clarify situation with him/sources.

 

[t-gator]

I'll give you props dc. I thought we was out

I go away from twitter for 30 minutes and everything goes crazy... now they are saying he was hacked... who knows what is going on with this.

Your logic escapes me.

Let me logicize you. These guys are waiting this late in the game because they want attention. A lot of them want the upset pick; the shocker if you will. If he truly decomitted now I see him waffling back to his original decision come NSD. Or I see it as him trolling us to let us down. Ideal scenario was for him to visit and keep somewhat quiet and then boom flip to us on NSD.

 

[ATXGator]

NSD got me like... ‏@ClutchLikeMJ 50s51 seconds ago
“@PhenomeNoles: Nee said Coach Nuss left his visit today with DF and was not optimistic. Sounds like a hack.”

 

[GatorTAG]

Any find the humor in this?

@zachabolverdi -While I try to figure out what's up with Deondre Francois, #Gators recruiting fans send me your questions for Zach's Mail Stack tomorrow!

 

[GatorTAG]

IMG OL coach Spencer Hodges confirms Deondre Francois did decommit from FSU. He's meeting with HC Chris Weinke right now. #Gators

 

[TheDouglas78]

You know how I feel about our qb situation. Treon doesn't have the arm strength and we don't know when the grier family will allow Will to play.

That's why you are excited.

@onlygators: RT @DerekTysonESPN: Who knows what's going on with Deondre Francois but I do know that Florida OC Doug Nussmeier was at IMG today to see him
