I agree 100%. If Evers is scared to compete - see ya. But top 50 WR don’t grow on trees. You are going to need WR, he should have been a priority and contacted already.Agree, Salt. That was actually my bigger frustration. Top 50 kid, in Florida, reaffirmed his commitment after Mullen and apparently some type of UF family legacy. I get that QB's can have different systems and specialties. But elite WRs fit in every single system outside of Army. If what is being reported about not being contacted is correct, that's completely inexcusable.
I will say on Evers, the red flag was the parental involvement. Ms. White(Ethan's mother) is a great example of being supportive, helpful and pro-Gator without coming across as a potential problem. The tweet a few months ago about recruits "chasing the P in the club" was off-putting for me. You're an adult. Act like it. Then tweeting something derogatory after the visit last night was also, to me, perhaps a sign that they may have been a massive headache, which is a shame considering how well the kid himself has handled things. But whatever.
I'll probably relax once we get some form of positive news. In general, I've just never been one to line up in the "trust the coaches" club when things seem obviously wrong. But generally, any time I voice text a 3-4 paragraph post before 8am, it's a good sign that I didn't sleep well and woke up grouchy.
