He's a Gator IF he can get in. Looks like he has grade concerns.I was also told yesterday not be suprised if the Watkins kid comes to Florida. I have a little North Marion connection.
And he's only 5'1" so he has some growing to do ;)He's a Gator IF he can get in. Looks like he has grade concerns.
Never go full Foley.Foley was a retard himself so they probably hit it off well
Those are rookie numbers, gotta pump those numbers up.I will bump up my percentages.
Stars don’t matter on an individual basis, but you can’t deny the percentages as a group.Now that Butters is gone are there anymore "stars don't matter" posters here?
Found this in an article about the NC game tonight:
Alabama and Georgia have a combined 123 players who were once deemed four- or five-star recruits.
They are still out there. Don't kid yourself.Now that Butters is gone are there anymore "stars don't matter" posters here?

I think part of the problem is that the excuse is used on the individual basis. That's when you hear the old "well coach XYZ saw something in him and that's good enough for me...". "I trust Coach ABC he knows LBs better than anyone..."
We need a talent influx badly over the next two years.
Agreed, though I think he was a long shot anyway.Miami had two junior defensive tackles declare for the NFL draft today. That might take us out of the running for Nesta Silvera

I guess I did a bad job of it, but I was basically trying to say on an individual analysis stars don’t matter. You look at Jarred Davis and he was a huge success. There can be any number of reasons why he was a 3*, but you need to know why and then decide if people were wrong about him. Randy Russell is a 3* safety that I like. I don’t get the feeling he’ll be Jarred Davis, but I think his size may be what has him trending as a 3*. I think Lang must be a project. If I recall he has serious athleticism for his size. So if you individually rate these guys and see upside, then I don’t see a problem.TR, I agree 100%. I didn't want to respond to Alc's reply out of respect to him (as he's not a "stars don't matter" poster from what I recall).
The reason we (UF) are seeing more and more 3-star players become contributors for us is because our roster is full of 3-stars! Somebody's gotta play! We could go down plenty of rosters that have proven 3-star talent....most of those schools aren't playing for conference or national championships however. It was a tired excuse and I hope, moving forward, those type of posters will see the errors of their ways (blindly following Butters/Muschamp/Zook, etc).
You need a few things to win in college football besides a good coach: good coaches, facilities, a stud QB.....and a sh*t-ton of 4 and 5 star players on your roster! (not a "sh*t-ton of 3-star players who are really 4 or 5 star players because your head coach and staff are great talent evaluators")....
