Recruiting 2020 Recruiting Thread: Gervon Dexter gets 5th Star on Rivals

[Slevin]

His entire being is ass.

Hmmm...

I saw Billy G at Dunkin Donuts this morning. He thanked the whole staff for making his coffee. Very personable. Seemed like he was in a great mood.

Wish Hevesy would go with him, would be a better strategy for finding heavies than the one he’s using.

Without the ban bet on omar we probably hit a million today.

Yer here we are post omar.

With eyes glazed over?

Is that why you gave the post a facepalm, because you hadn't heard about it?

Or was it because we have so much depth at running back that you don't like the idea of giving a former 5* recruit another look?

We gave Lingard an offer before, when he was rated the #2 back and #24 overall player in the country. He played sparingly his freshman year before going down with a knee injury. This year, he and Manny Diaz agreed that he'd take a redshirt. Normally I'd say that's not an encouraging sign, but who trusts Diaz as a talent evaluator?

I don't see any reason why Lingard is not at least worth a re-evaluation by our coaching staff. And that appears to be happening, per this writer from the Daytona Beach News Journal:

He's just busting your chops. This story broke right around the time your "Playoff Argument" thread went to page 3.

Well my post was nothing more than a tweet linking to an article that came out in TODAY's Miami Herald. No need for anyone to get snarky if it's already old news because you're a recruiting nerd.

Put Lingard through the paces, especially his 40 times. Then decide. We'd be getting the once highest rated RB in UF history. If Lingard is 100% we'll have a good one.

Are any commitments expected from the Under Armour game tonight?

Don’t think so. Henderson is Saturday. Washington is announcing I think, but that’s UGA

Do away with all the snarkiness, and instead of almost a million posts, we'd be at about 25 or 30.

That makes far too much sense...what were you thinking?

Thanks

If he's genuine about playing close to home we should be the home run easy pick out of that bunch of teams

I'm for taking him
