Jerry Jeudy commits to Bama tonight over UF.

F'em. Gator Bait.

When's the last time we beat Bama out for a recruit? And I'm not talking about a last second push like perine last year. It's just where they are. Bama gets who ever they want.

Exactly
He's just a punchline now...

Other than Pineiro,we haven't!

 

[GatorTAG]

It's Grier's fault.

 

[gatormandan]

Who thought he was coming here to begin with?

 

[MidwestChomp]

Can't compete with getting new cars.

 

[Kyng]

We just need to win, and we can start getting who we want again. People like to say we "won 10 games last year". Yeah that is true. But if you look at the 3 teams that kicked our ass last year. It's no coincidence they are beating us in recruiting. We need to beat FSU this year, and beat Bama in ATL. If that happens the top kids will come in droves.

In my eyes, when we're competing against Bama and the likes who have had our number recently for top recruits they have bragging rights and probably tell these recruits "look we're beating Florida on the field, they're down and still rebuilding while you can come here and win big immediately i.e national championship contenders year in and year out." Maybe they can marginally argue they send guys to the pros more than UF right now, but I don't see that as much as a selling point because UF still sends its fair share. Of course, some underhand incentives probably go on as well

We really need better bag men.

… or force Saban to sack his bagman.

Nice avatar. Pretty sure that's Brad Culpepper in 1991's home opener against San Jose State.

Yessir, dude was a beast of a d-lineman. Don't think anybody would try picking a fight with him at the bars

Every car dealer in Bama is in on the bag. And most bankers.

On recruiting: "In 12 years at Florida, I don't think we ever signed a kid from the state of Alabama ... Of course, we found out later that the scholarships they were giving out at Alabama were worth a whole lot more than ours."

I guess Mac didn't learn that part while at Bama.

 

[NavetG8r]

I'm sure he learned it quite well. I'm also certain when he was offered the job here, he was told under no uncertain terms that "we don't do things that way here".

 

[T REX]

Yup...everybody cheats but us. That's why all the kids go elsewhere. Rationalize much?

Give em 2 new cars?
