Recruiting 2021 Recruiting: NSD Probably falling outside top 10

[Gator By Marriage]

This could go in their shambles thread too, but since it's recruiting I'll put it here - the hits just keep on comin'!!

When the QB flips to Ole Miss and they lose their top OL Rod Orr, their class will be ranked outside of the top 40!

Interestingly Fuller's brother is a null; wonder how long before he's in the transfer portal...

You gotta like the way their recruiting is trending. Here's their class rankings for the last four years:
2018 - #10
2019 - #17
2020 - #20
2021 - #40

That's why I said Fuller is a legacy commit. This kid isn't signing with anyone. He isn't even a d2 player. Maybe a d3 school might give him a shot.

Borders will be flipping to Stanford on Thursday most likely hopefully making room for Destyn Hill

While I'm sure Hill is a stud, that is a brutal trade for us. We desperately needed Borders in this class. Where are you hearing he is flipping?

He’s got a “final decision” coming on Thursday...Alderman is saying he’s gone

The Gators' podcast rollup with the group from Gators Breakdown, Stadium and Gale, and Florida Gators Podcast, along with Cornelius Ingram joining, said we are looking at this guy as a potential replacement for Borders:

247 has him as a true ILB (and his size suggests it might be so):

Trevin Wallace, Wayne County, Inside Linebacker

Rivals has him substantially lower (and his BC commitment suggests as much). Apparently grew up a Gator fan and has been waiting on an offer.

Trevin Wallace, 2021 Outside linebacker - Rivals.com

His JR season highlights include lots of RB, WR and Safety. Go to 3:12 to see him at LB and filling a hole. Just not much in there to judge. He just looks thicker than our other LB's over the years and is willing to hit while on offence. Simply can't tell other than 1 play how that translates or how he is rated as well as he is on any site.

Fwiw some dude on twitter who swears to be "an insider" thinks Borders is a gator

Meanwhile, FSU just offered this kid from Lake City HS (has no national ranking, is the 257th player in the state of FL and has offers from Georgia Southern, Coastal Carolina, Ole Miss, UAB, FSU, and Florida Atlantic):

Vandy lands a 3-star Safety:

CJ Taylor, Warren County, Safety

Tennessee lands a JUCO RB:

Tiyon Evans, Hutchinson C.C., Running Back

 

[soflagator]

So he had some concerns about joining ut, but has spent the last 4-6 weeks watching them play, and is now more comfortable?

May explain the whole JUCO thing.

Borders reminds me of Antonneous Clayton, he looks the part on film for sure, but that doesn’t always translate to the next level.

We need so much help at linebacker, I’d definitely prefer a guy who’s already looking like a true ILB.

A 185 pound linebacker? I’m surprised Grantham isn’t going after him.

Fwiw, chief just liked this pic

What's funny about this offer is the kid who "de-committed" Sunday (Fuller). They're saying, "He's not a P5 football player" (in the mode of "we didn't want him anyway")....but then they offer a under 200lbs LB w/ G5 offers? (I say "under 200" to give him the benefit of the doubt that it was probably his junior weight, now he's a senior).
