Daquayvious Sorey getting several predictions to us. Committing Monday. Top 100 player. Will be our highest commit to date. Its embarrassing to see what fans are saying about him on the other boards. I like him and want him.

We need this kid to be a Gator.

My experience with fans on message boards is they’re mostly clueless and spend most of their time talking about irrelevant things, bringing up inconsequential details about life stories, often with Asians, and posting gifs while accusing others of being inebriated. Pay them no mind.

Basically following the law in the state of Florida. Would you honestly expect anything else from our administration?
We’ll be at a disadvantage until the law is changed.

Is it a Florida law or an NCAA rule about using NIL to lure recruits? I thought it was just an NCAA rule

Both.

What's not to like?
He has hight 6'2"...4**** and definitely a position of need

He is a long and high jumper, not the fastest guy out there but he isn't slow either. He has size. And he is really good. Sorey, Mizell, EWIII, Creed and Patterson (yes Patterson) is a very good WR class. And we are trending for Andy Jean as well.

Harris working hard and looking good in blue.

Fuchs miam. I was saying the same thing you was saying all along I think you got sidetracked with the whole bama atm part. Its just frustrating because we got a hard working recruiting guy who is building the organizational structure and processes needed to get a program like ours rolling but we got boosters who dont want to pay because we got stupid politicians running the state. Napier laid it out for them as part of the hiring process and now they aren't following through. I doubt he stays here if it continues. And Heitner just needs to shut up.

I know the majority of my recent post have seemed doom and gloom but those are directed towards the Univeristy of Florida administration and boosters. I still have all the faith in Coach Napier and his ABILITY to turn us around. I want to refrain from taking too many shots at recruiting because I think a lot of it has to do with NIL instead of our staff whiffing. Plus I don't enjoy being a negative person either. Which is why I try to stay off of the board as much as possible but sometimes it feels good to join in on the b i tching.

Good man, Saul.

I agree.

This is the player we need to land Monday. #9 overall on 24/7. Land him and the McClain kid from Lakeland at #3 overall, and the snowball starts building in the right direction for Billy.

Florida priority 5-star OL target sets commitment date

We aint getting him. Francis, not McClain. Well, may not get McClain but he seems and has been all Gator.

Harris is trying to reel his teammate in but based on Knijeah’s post above it seems he doesn’t know what his fellow OL will do. Just controlling what he can….

If this dude goes to scUM or Toothless it will look bad. Bama or USC would suck but not as bitter a pill to swallow.

 

[LongTooth]

We aint getting him.

What do you think? Bammer or west coast? Please god, not scUM. Mario will have Billy picking up teeth off the floor.

Gotta feel for BN. Trying to sell a vision without the benefit of a strong brand that boasts recent success on the field at the same time UF is taking the “scared money don’t make money” approach to NIL…. It’s like trying to surf in a field of mud.

He is 6'2" and 6'3" depending on where you look. He has above average speed and can jump. I know, 11.54 100m...but that was April 2021 and he placed 2nd that day. People look at a time and dont take the time to see what everyone else's times were that day. He isn't a 100m guy, he is a long jump and high jump guy...and he has podiums doing that.

Definitely think we take 5. There is no class cap anymore, we just have to get under 85.

I think UTooth or USC from what I have read. But he doesn't have any predictions. Just aint getting my hopes up.

Dropped by uga, not a take for Miami or bama...kid is going to finish in ranking much much lower...

NIL or not we're getting our teeth kicked in. Right now and yes it's not finished yet but Billy in theory is right around Mullens bump class. Have to decide what we want. Play the NIL game and give Billy what he needs, accept that we are a 8/9 win program with no chance of a championship..or continue the merry go round of coach searches every 3 years because we think they should be doing more with less, ya know, the Foley way....

Not really sure what the answer is. Expansion, NIL, portal, etc...soured the sport
