(from TOS recruiting board):
Malcolm Lamar: CB’d to the Noles by 247 82% UF 9%. I think it’s closer than that but in the end he signs with free Willie. My fsu contact is less sure than me.
Patrick Surtain: My lsu guy has gotten less sure by the day. I’m betting the field over lsu which would put a knife in many tiger fans heart.
FSU: say they do get ML, they still are signing 4 guys who UF would not want or will not qualify. Remember Jalen Goss who was let go by the previous staff; he is one of their guys. Xavier Peters-who was projected to not get into UF, he is one of their guys. Keyshon Helton, a small speedster that I personally like but is ranked about 1200 or so, is one of their guys. Do you get the picture?
FSU 2: Free Willie has been trying to create spots but we will not know the damage with coaches for a year or two. My question is why try to create spots if you are filling them with guys FSU would not normally take.
Tyson Campbell: I expect him to sign with UGA.
Malik Langham: I expect Langham to sign with Bama
Fabian Lovett: UF has picked up some CB’s for Fabian. I think it is a case of UF getting in to late but I’m open to being wrong on this one as I think he is going to be a hell of a player for someone.
So who does UF get?
For a change let’s begin with DEFENCE
Andrew Chatfield: The AH lineman will be a great Gator.
Caleb Johnson: The staff loves the guy and believes he is under rated. Let’s hope they are correct.
Dorian Gerald: loved his visit and I believe will sign with UF.
Nesta Silvera: I know, I have held off on this for two days. I was told that UF was more in the mix than anyone knew. Silvera loves UF and is truly torn. My Cane contact told me he was not hearing good things from a UM perspective. I am 50/50 which is what I believe Silvera is at this time.
Noah Boykin: don’t believe the ND rumors. I am told he is a silent for signing day.
Offense:
McDowell: has already committed. Good addition IMO
King Richard: I will be shocked if he signs with Auburn.
NPF: Did some late checking and even OSU thinks UF is the favorite.
Watkins: Has already committed and I believe he will be an exciting player.
Copeland: The guy sends mixed signals but I believe he is a special kid. I will have more on him after signing day.
Caleb Tannor: my least confident pick but I’m relying on what I read and hear.UF is trending.
That is 24 if those guys sign and some of you are skeptical of Nesta Silvera and Tannor and I get that.
The last spot or spots are open to
Malcolm Lamar: just can't see him at fsu for some reason.
And or
Fabian Lovett
Signing day always brings a shock or two. Could UF get one? I suspect so. Hopefully on the good side.
Final Thoughts prior signing day: This staff is and has done everything they can to insure a good class. I do believe that UF is in great shape going forward with a balance of good recruiters and excellent coaching.
Final Tidbit: Do not be shocked if UF gets someone no one saw coming. Sorry, but that’s all I can say about that.
