According to 24/7 we now have the #7 DT (Edwards), #11 DT (Hansard - Rivals #6), and #6 SDE (Carter). Scott's #57 DT (Rivals #43), but he's a space eater and will likely rise in ranking. Looking solid on the D-Line right now.

Scott is a 7A 1st team All State defensive player and a 3 star...


Florida 3 star = other state's 5 star right? Or is that wrong?

Need all the space eaters we can get. He better qualify. Welcome to the Gators! We need to keep getting kids. A top ten class would be awesome. The defense is going to need talent infusion so come one, come all. Gotta close strong.

I'm pretty comfortable with most of the states in the south, at least with kids who play for large schools and have had a chance to play all-stars or camps and see them rep against other 1A talent. You are always safe with Florida All-Staters, no matter what the recruiting services think about their vertical leap or shuttle times.

Rivals has us at #16 now. Some schools are ahead of us because they already have huge numbers of commits. But for those who are interested in star ratings, our class average is 3.6 with nine 4 * and six 3*. Only Alabama, Ohio State, LSU, Oklahoma, UGA, Clemson, and the Clowns are above us on that measure. And it's pretty close in several of those cases. Regarding FSU, they only rank above us because their class is smaller, with an equal number of fours and fewer threes, and some commits who are higher up the individual recruit ranks. UGA has one more four and two fewer threes. Bammer, OSU, and LSU are pulling ridiculously good classes. A couple more home runs and we will push past several of these schools' classes in terms of quality and overtake others who may have more quantity, but not the same level of players overall.

I saw a tweet that said we are actually number 13 in the rankings. They just had not updated the "team rankings" page yet.

When will Mac and his staff stop their total suck-fest in recruiting??? Our DT depth is especially miserable! We are doomed!!! :couch::ohnoez:

Some folks have no patience! We have a great coach and staff in place, we have a strong returning nucleus of players, we're starting to develop great new talent, we seem to finally have a kicker, we have a capable starting QB established before the season starts, we have a very promising kicker and we seem to be developing a team culture that can grow into one that wins. Heck, we even have SOS back in the fold! :headbang:

The insufferable dumpers who have spent all summer whining and bitchin' about every aspect of the team suddenly seem very quiet. Hopefully they'll stay that way! :bart:

A hearty "well done" to Coach Mac and the rest of the coaching staff - keep it up! :highfive:

Is it 9/3 yet? :popcorn:

great news. now, i don't want to rain on the parade, but what about all that "grades" stuff i was hearing here and elsewhere?
Well, "just concentrate on school" is usually grades talk. We'll see.

As for not celebrating, why not? Almost all of the kids stick to their commitments. In a terrible year, we lose maybe 2 kids, out of 25, right?

It worked the other way too. The pumpers pumped up until signing day, some even wanting to bet pinkslips, that we were going to steal a bunch of good recruits last year.
