Recruiting Silent Commit from 3-star LB?

[Ancient Reptile]

Shannon could not recruit for **** at Miami either. When he was the head coach what did their roster look like?

Then why in the heck was he hired?

Everyone thought he'd be able to lock south Florida down due to his connections. Even though Miami recruiting took a nose dive in his watch.

The good news is that he's a hell of a linebacker coach.

Rumph has been notorious for recruiting DEs. Which he is continuing to do well


Shannon is doing a sh*tty job on the recruiting scene but has done a great job coaching.

Long ways from NSD but right now DT and LB are positions of concern.

I'm not concerned with DBs. I believe we will have a nice DB class for 2017

I think you can make an argument the other way as well though. This guy is not a Gator, in fact he's a product of a program that was a huge rival during his playing years. So I don't see a ton of loyalty there. If he can't land talent, I don't care how good he is, it will eventually cause major issues at LB. Being that he's also a self-interest person like all the rest, I could see him bailing before those surface, leaving us in a real bind. His inability on the recruiting trail, given the cards he has to play, is unsettling.

With no linebackers, does it matter?

We don't need linebackers. We have CBs. We'll just have them grow 3-4 inches and gain 50 pounds.

I think it will be the top DB class in the country.

When we actually get one to commit

I don't understand how our recruiting coordinator is still employed after last signing day. We should have had some back up plans at dt and lb.

I agree on the Plan B players. There should have been a couple of Plan B's at both of those positions. I'm hoping the Satellite Camps will help find a few diamond in the rough type players that can become Plan B's if we miss on a key position. These kids that sign w/ lesser schools often develop into very good players. I'm not advocating taking UCF or Vandy type players up and down the class, but one or two when we miss at a key position can't hurt. I'd rather have a freshman DT on the roster than no freshman DT's on the roster.

Then why do I get the feeling he's serving it to us as long as he collects a paycheck from UF?

I just can't help but wonder why we didn't reach on a dt. Hughes has one of the biggest recruiting budgets to work with in the country. How do we not sign a dt?

Agree. I can't imagine if we late offer a DT that's committed to UCF, USF, FAU or similar type school they'd pass up a chance to play in the SEC. Again, not advocating taking a class full of these kids but one or two in case we miss at a position of need.

All I can say is we better be sleeping on the doorsteps of ANY JuCo DT's for the next 6 month's. Otherwise get used to getting punched in the gut during conference play for the next couple of years...

We're in the danger zone if we're hoping for jucos. We've been about50/50 as far as them getting eligible.

Even though he lost a star losing that DT to FSU was twice as big. We lose the only DT in the class and he ends up at our rival. Not good enough.

Less than 50/50

T, we're in the danger zone. It takes about 2 years for incoming HS kids to be ready for SEC/CFB LOS combat. Even a lot of JuCo guys don't shine until their final season. We need to bring in 2 JuCo's and at least 3 HS recruits this coming class, and I'm not talking about Rush/Buck type linemen.

5 DT's ain't happenin, period. We are going to sign around 17-20 this class. I can see 1 JUCO and 2 (at most) HS kids.
