2 ex-head coaches that have done nothing but run our program into the ground first while they were here and now with their mouths. There's a whole lot of Gator hate on the recruiting trail.

T man, don't fall into this stuff...you know how recruiting these kids is. Its all about drama these days. The class will be good to go in the end. Top five when it's all said and done. :fistbump:

sad truth is that we're looking at maybe six guys (perine, polite, joseph, manuel, taylor, nelson) who were committed to UF flipping to other schools and maybe only getting two (fulton and cleveland) away from other programs.

that's terrible.:facepalm:

And what do all those guys except Perine have in common? They all planned, and were given the go ahead by the staff, to take visits later in the cycle. If there's one thing that Mac and co should take from this (assuming we do lose at least part of that list) it's that we can't have such a casual approach to the process. This isn't the Mountain West. Again, I think we have to do a better job of selling UF and being Gators.

Ftr, I don't think we lose all of those guys.

Correct thinking by recruits would be to pick UF with enough certainty to get other
stars to get on board for producing the best team of players, your teammates. ??
Not express such uncertainty that may cause others to go elsewhere. Therefore,
all this lukewarmity has to be genuine doubts that Florida is on par with elsewhere.??

I don't think we'll lose all of those guys. Maybe one or two, but not all six. Hopefully we'll add Cleveland and Fulton, but I think Fulton is probably LSU bound. To me it will be more disappointing if we don't bring in Cleveland. There's no excuse for not beating out Houston, Arkansas, and TCU for a recruit that rooted for UF as a child, has family in state, and has a childhood friend playing here.

I am afraid his aunt chooses his college. Something going on in the family that is not in the open.

So.. Now Perine is going to do an announcement on signing day as well... Between UF and Bama..
This sh*t is becoming comical!!!!! :lmao2:

Yeah.. I think that Joseph and Perine are doing their announcements more as a joke than anything else. They both have been solid to UF.

Some of this could be the staff telling them to go ahead and have their announcements. If they "choose" UF on NSD... it actually gives them some attention and makes UF look better from a recruiting perspective and getting press... If Perine is announcing then it makes me think it may be a strategy, because he is as solid as I have seen.

To be honest, I don't know what else to say except "we're getting our ass kicked on the trail" it's that simple. We have a decent class but we missed on ALOT of top tier guys.

You do realize, that every single year, no matter how good our class is, we'll ALWAYS miss out on a lot of top tier talent... right?

Looks like OL Landon Dickerson is out. He will choose between:

Tennessee
Half A$$ U
Bammer

He had a great visit to UT over the weekend and his twitter page said he should have visited Bamma earlier. I say UT.
