Our 3 most underrated recruits

[maheo30]

At least he didn't say KadariusToney. I'm still hoping and praying someone steals his slow butt from us so we don't waste a scholly. As far as Davis is concerned, if he really is 180 then I don't want him. No featherweights at RB. Rivals has him at 187 and Scout at 190. That isnt as bad. Add 8-10 pounds and he'll be fine.

It doesn't really matter that Ahmad Black was a 4 star recruit. All that matters is that the pumpers WANT it to be true. They will repeat it forever regardless no matter how many times you link to rivals https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/maple/44921 and prove them wrong.

That article was nothing more than click bait, he was just trying to get UF fans excited about anything because he knows there is nothing to be excited about these days.

Bowl thinks Christian Provalone, Jacob Guy and Kyle Trash were underrated.

He tends to pimp anyone who talks to him and he likes.

Id take opinions from Avatar first.

Has Zach ever been right about anything, EVER?

As the old saying goes "the sun shines on a dogs a$$ every once in awhile". The recruiting services are right about 90% of the time but carry on!

90% is probably a little high, I'd say they get it right about 70-75% though but you're point is valid.....you play the odds and shoot for the highest rated players not hope and pray that you get lucky with guys who are flying below the radar.

Then again we're talking about a coach and staff that ran off an undefeated, 5 star QB with a half season of favorable experience under his belt and a rocket for an arm for a 2 time transfer that is vertically challenged and has a noodle arm

Chance to win the East this weekend? Yeah, you're right. Nothing at all to get excited about. Honestly, if you can only get excited to watch/follow the gators when we're contending for championships, you should probably consider spending your precious time on other endeavors until we're back to that level.

I use to get pissed off at this bull$hit but now I expect it! Smh!!!!!

What? That's not true.

Callaway didn't even play HS sports. His only exposure to football was from that scene in Wedding Crashers and from overhearing neighborhood kids talk about Madden.

It doesn't really matter that Ahmad Black was a 4 star recruit. All that matters is that the pumpers WANT it to be true that he was a zero star unranked recruit. They will repeat it forever regardless no matter how many times you link to rivals https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/maple/44921 and prove them wrong.

Yep...despite the facts some will continue to rant & rave saying "stars don't matter" or "we'll trust the coaching evaluations over the recruiting services" even though it's been proven over & over again that the school’s pulling in elite talent consistently compete for championship's.

I think that 2010 Auburn team was the only SEC Champion without real good recruiting classes (since they started rating this stuff like they do now) the years before the SEC Championship but they had a couple of players on that team that really dominated college ball.

Byron Cowart was the #1 overall player in the 2015 class and he spurned us to go to Auburn. How is he doing over there?? Top recruit and star 5 star recruit??!! He is out for the year injured and hasn't done anything at all.

I'm pretty sure this staff wanted him very badly. One bad freshman year so now all 5 stars are evil?

The bottom line is the bust rate is lowest at the top. If anyone thinks this staff is out-smarting everyone else on the recruiting trail then they are complete morons. Hell, they can barely outsmart the better teams ON the field.

Cowart was in love with muscrap and was never going to flip to us. I would bet he cried when he went to SC.

Muschamp ruined him. Remember he tweeted crying about Muschamp being so hard on him while he was just trying to learn and get better.

And yet....

#7 2007 13 4stars
#20 2008 2 5stars (Jermaine Johnson and Raven Gray) and only 4 4stars
#19 2009 9 4stars
#4 2010 3 5stars (Shon Coleman, sCam, Michael Dyer) and 13 4stars

Let me ask you guys, do you think there is any chance Barn wins without Scam and Dyer? Yeah, I know, Fairley, Coleman, Antoine Carter were important too, and 3 all SEC OL, but do they win without their gamechanging QB and RB? Do we win in 2008 without our gamechanging QB and RB/WR hybrid?

Do we have some useful pieces? Yeah. Do we have gamechangers? Not one that I've seen. Got any on the way? Jake Allen and Malik Davis? LOL

It's going to be over before it started and Mac can blame his lack of recruiting, if he cares at all while counting his dozens of millions we will pay him.

Tweener, always a tweener. Holland was worse. I said, even before it looked like those guys were going Barn that CeCe was the gem.

Cowart will be something when he either puts on good weight-- he is soft-- and can be a real DE/DT (he is probably too short for DE at 6'2" or 6'3" I think its the former) or drops weight and moves to LB (his pro position, if he has one).

True. All true. I heard he didn't even get a walkon invite from a div 3 team like Trash did. The ultimate sleeper, Callaway the zero star recruit who was ranked 420th in his own county.

 

[NavetG8r]

The ultimate sleeper, Callaway.

He should probably stop smoking so much Indica.

I can get excited when we're not contending if there is some exciting to see. What's exciting about this team? I'll wait...................... Yea nothing, our offense is pathetic with no imagination or creativity, recruiting is awful, the defense balls out one week then takes a half off every now and then when it feels like it. I love my Gators but this staff just takes all the fun out of it because of its lackluster ability to recruit or coach

 

[rogdochar]

Let me get this whole picture ... Mac's also so failing at recruiting fans.?
