He looks goooooood! I like his speed and overall athletic ability. Looks pretty strong, too. Once he gets his hands on you, you're going down.

So let me get this straight....
6th SEC
LAST in state(amongst real schools anyway)
Behind FSU who had just as bad of a season AND coaching change.....
Oh and behind that guy who used to coach UGA......And the guy who coaches them now....
Please come at me with more excuses.....
So far I've heard it was because of a coaching change.....Oregon, UCLA, TAMU, and FSU all had coaching changes.....
Oh and my favorite one of all...."We're saving spots for NEXT year....
News flash CFB experts...real coaches and guys leading them don't wait "till next year".....
Some notes on Meyer’s transition class in 2005–
LAST in state(amongst real schools anyway)
Behind fsu with a senile old man
4th in the SEC
Ranked 15th overall behind Cal, pre-SEC TexasA&M, Neb and Iowa
Some notes on Smart’s transition class in 2016–
5th in the SEC
Behind Mich, OM and Aub
They did win their state. Of course their only competition is a trade school that runs the triple option, but still.
Yes, Mullin’s 6th place SEC intro class is just miles apart.
Why some here insist on taking these arguments to the mat is beyond me. There has to be an online course some of you guys can take on effective debating.

I still don't like the Mullen hire. Even if he wins a NC, he won't get an A+ from me because I don't like his offense.
All the same, this transition class is a good one and we addressed most needs. Comparing this class head to head (forgetting about transition) with others, it's a good class. 4th in the SEC behind the leghumpers (6 five stars??? wtf), Bamma and Auburn. (247)

Huge differences here. Miami was still on a huge roll and barely removed from winning natties.....Same for FSU, they hadn't hit the Bowden skidmarks which really started in 06 and later....
15th for a coach(Meyer) new to the conference and region is pretty damned good...I doubt Meyer had ever been within 1000 miles of the UF campus before being hired.
And the biggest difference is that Meyer inherited a hugely talented roster....Less holes to be filled....
Those online courses will always fall short of getting info from an old school CFB expert IMO......

Try this =
In a very high % of his tackles he causes fumbles. He looks a bit thin compared to the OL guys trying to block him.?? Like lightening, he bolts past the OL alignment, then stops for a second to assess if the play is coming his way or what route to take to catch the ball carrier cross-field. Never over-runs the play. Yep Bruce, he's got speed.

Loved that one about two thirds of the way thru. He's moving left to right as left DE. He pauses at the line looking like he's dropping to cover the TE, the QB sees it, Chatfield releases the TE and motors in untouched to maim the QB. Nice.

Dang. They say that the ability to get to the QB is the skill that translates best from college to the NFL. If that’s true HS=> college as well, he’s a monster. His patience, ability to avoid or power through blocks and instincts look stellar. I loved seeing him drift out in the flat and intercept a screen pass.
Of course, a recruiting powerhouse like Heritage, IMG or STA is often mismatched with a public or less intense private school. But still...

if you didn't have 28k posts it'd be easy to find for you. But he was a TE I think that you ragged the Fcck out of.....and rightly so.

Looking at that list, d wilson is the biggest loss in terms of quality player at a position of need. There may be a couple of diamonds in the rough, but no one else to point to right now and say “shoulda kept him.”

Oh yeah, that joke of a 2 star OL we were going to make into our next Clay Burton.

Yeah, a bunch of trash and a six pack of DBs.

Meyer actually played a college football game as a member of the University of Cincinnati at Florida Field in the 1980's, which is on the UF campus.
Just sayin....

He's been listed as a DE throughout his recruitment....and because of our new 3-4 system will be a LB. The better comparison is CeCe Jefferson. Jefferson is 6'1 245-250(ish).....Chatfield is about the same size (actually listed at 6'2). I think CeCe moves to the position Chatfield will eventually assume, which will allow Chatfield to sit behind a former 5-star HS stud DE.
I'm glad we landed him or this class would have had a major void (honestly, with only 1 true DL, there already is a major void at DL - but nevertheless).

I know you love to harp on too many DBs, but we really could have used Dean. The good thing is Watkins can play CB if needed. Still a good class, but we need to add at least 4 DBs in next year's class. I hope you're okay w/ that!
