Read somewhere that if you want to compete for championships consistently, your 4/5* to 3* or less ratio needs to be greater than 50%. Pretty much guarantees your starters will be 4*+ or over-performing, diamond in the rough 3*s and that your entire 2 Deep is littered with talent. I didn’t dig into the article’s statistical analysis but it made sense to me. With that in mind, not sure if you should ever turn away those blue chips unless you are already over capacity at a position group.

The UF depth chart in the mid-2000’s was 2-deep or more with 4s & 5s. I actually created one then changed out the names and replaced with star ratings.

Oddly, despite his offense, Meyer had a hard time finding a great RB. Demps and Rainey were great small burners but I think Gilly was probably the best traditional RB of that era. The rest were forgettable. Kestahn Moore.

3* TE '14 class

I'm not trying to get that ban or stern talking to.:whew:


Whose money did he leave where? I assume he dropped it. Can’t imagine he’d be drafted and would be lucky to get a free agent opportunity.

We are loaded with TEs - 4 returning and 2 in the class. I wonder if Stephens and/or Jackson will transfer or fade away.

You did say that ...his only knack other than his speed. In reality I was agreeing with you saying Spikes did not regularly cover WRs. His speed of course is one reason he did not.

Poor choice of words on my part, i meant he was quick to the ball. I'd never call that man fast in regards to running speed lol

Well, we've heard what the peanut gallery said, here's what NFL.com's scouting report said:

Spikes has an outstanding combination of size, strength and toughness for the inside linebacker position. Is a highly-competitive performer who was the heart and soul of his Florida defense. Highly- productive player who earned All-American status. Displays impressive athleticism in multiple facets including in coverage where he?s a playmaker. Supremely instinctive reactor who is extremely quick to diagnose plays and find the football. Has been very durable.

Maybe he meant getting a real job with his degree :dunno:

He had 7 receptions for 42 yards. Not in a game. In the season. The man was destined for the first round.

If you are talking about Kaliff (sp), I think he graduated early and is moving on.

Jackson is gone. He announced he's transferring a month or so ago.

Nah, it was a fake account claiming to be a 5* 2019 RB that committed to us. Stampini was following them and I posted it before doing my background just trying to be first. I am ashamed...
