The National Signing Day Thread

I always thought he looked like his daddy.

Poor kid.

I don’t know about y’all, but I’ve been super impressed with how CDM has handled this transition class. It boads well for the future as facilities get back up to snuff, and as the S&C program becomes more intense and focused that what we would find at the local YMCA. Gotta get these big uglies though

That Watkins kid reminds me of Rainey, maybe a half a step slower but same kind of stride and cutting ability.

Also not trying to be a downer, but isn't this the same kid who's already committed 4 or 5 times?

Let's hope he plays better in college than Rainey. Watkins seems to not hesitate, which Rainey did a lot of here. Hope he doesn't get tackled by a stiff wind either

Watkins is 2 inches taller and a way better slot option than Rainey ever was. Only comparable attritibute is that theyre fast and shifty. We finally have a guy we should be able to trust on punts and kickoffs now too.

Anyone else see that Cameron Williams flipped from UF to scUM? 3* but a 2019 player, so could rise in the rankings.

Never heard of him.

Never heard of him.

Me, either. But evidently he was in Butters' 2019 group. Thanked Butters and Seider in his tweet.

We are now 9th for 2019. scUM moved up to 2. UGA is #1 with three 5* already. DAYUM!

I really don't care about next years class yet. We will have plenty of time to get players that fit this offense. Right now it is just a mad scramble just to keep whatever Butters liked regardless of the fit. Our board for next year will be completely rearranged and will change drastically.

Yes but with it being as late in the process as it is I think he sticks.

 

[T REX]

Up to 21st in the rankings

Watkins

@laamar_05: COMMITTED!!!!!

Watkins goes to the same HS that Freddie Swain went to - wonder if that helped land his commitment.

I hope he gets his shot on offense... read where he was taken as an "athlete" and very well could start out at CB. Might just be saying that so Copeland doesn't freak out

He's the #2 athlete on ESPNs board

I’ve read several places that this year’s recruiting rankings are weird - a lot of variation between sites. Watkins is a prime example. Any one have any ideas why?

Espn and Scouts relies on interns to do their evals, many of whom have never buckled a chinstrap even once.

I think we have our return guy.

Freaking incredible intangibles....great field vision....sets up his blockers perfect!

He strictly practiced and played at WR in the all star game. Hes gonna be a WR. If we desperately need the help at cb id be ok but we need playmakers on O. But id put my money on him working with O right away

Swain went to North Marion (Ocala area). Watkins is at East Ridge near Clermont.
