Recruiting 2019 recruiting still Butterslike, #17 class

[TheDouglas78]

Yep. One year and we played him because Doug was a turnover machine. Its been some time and I may be mistaken but even if brindise got on the field I dont recall losing 3 players in front of him. 2 but not 3. Didnt we lose Brantley, Driskel and Murphy before resorting to a walk on mornigwheg? Again I may be mistaken

We lost Brandley to graduation in 2011...

 

[T REX]

Can we all, at least agree...STARS DO MATTER?

Then there were multiple years we lost multiple qbs. In any event we for Wtvr reasons have sustained huge hits at certain positions several years now. This year we did ok with the exception of secondary. Seems like we are loading up on linebacker which was another huge area we were razor thin at. Again injuries happen I get it but there is luck involved. We lose Ryan smith or Lewis let alone nelson from that 2006 vaunted defense and we were gonna have huge problems. Our d line was stacked and maybe would have masked it some but again talent gaps at positions happened even with the revered recruiting of zook. Mullen has multiple areas to fix as well as a much more damaged reputation. We ain't there yet but I just dont see the point on doing anything but wait and see at this point.

How come other schools who have been less relevant than us, are able to hit the ground running in recruiting... But we need time to fix the reputation... heard this with Muschamp, Butters, and now Mullens. You are making excuses, because your argument failed. Premeire recruiters can recruit. Just like a great Salesman can sell. We need some premiere recruiters on staff.

How does a Gator fan not care what happened on the field this year? This is what we live for. Each and every game is a gift. Life is too short. We only have so many seasons in our lifetimes and only so many games each season. That's why I said I had a lot of fun this year in spite of losing three games. Beating LSU and FSU is huge any year. Yeah, yeah, championships are awesome, but that's not happening in the immediate future. Reality. Kind of like how I never got to date Jennifer Anniston, Elizabeth Shue or Ashley Judd.

From the looks of that mustache you're rocking, I think it's time to have a heart to heart with your self. Jennifer Aniston Elizabeth shue or Ashley Judd ain't happenin.

No I acknowledge its rare but I dont think developing 3 stars into productive if not above average performers is as rare as some think. I also acknowledge you're not gonna be elite with more 3 stars than 4 stars but that 3 star athletes aren't just throw away players. I never thought we would be here but we are in a complete rebuild from perception to facilities to talent and coaching and we have the perfect guy to do it at the moment.

If he's the perfect guy to rebuild the talent then why isn't he?

 

[Theologator]

Cool. Understood. I don't normally read or partake in conversations on message boards. Too many ways to get into pissing matches!

If I were the King of the World ... I would tell the booster to put up or shut up. I would write a check to Saban and tell him to come fix this ****. Fire everyone.

The whole athletic department personnel needs to be gutted.

Of course, I'm a football fan and could give a rats ass about the other sports. (BBall final 4 and baseball world series are ok...if I'm not busy).

And most important: BEAT THE LEGHUMPERS EVERY YEAR.

Otherwise, the year suck. Even an NC, with a loss to the boot lickers, is a failure. Victory can not be claimed.

This place would have easily 2 - 3 times the members if they didn't have to go through the triggered gauntlet every time they pumped a little sunshine.

I doubt this is true, but if that reality played out, this place would suck and be like so many other options if blind homerism was met with no opposition. There's plenty of hyberbole on here from every perspective.

 

[Sec14Gator]

That's a tough position to defend on a board that exists predominantly due to everyone here caring about football (except for the solely political forum group)

That's not me, actually, but yeah, I'm not ready for those smokeshows either. That's Gary Fisher. A mountain biking legend.

 

[T REX]

Can we agree that a 4.2 star vs a 4.6 star doesn't really matter?

I'm sorry but what are you asking me? You want me to tell you that having no top 100 kids is ok? LOL. Let me guess the 8th class is like the 12th class? Don't ask answer a question with a question.

You may be right...I may be projecting.

 

[Tay Bang]

FWIW, I don't hate your postings. I've posted before that I appreciate your technical stuff as I am trying harder during games to try and understand what the heck you are talking about. And you dang know well I'm not the only guy here that has shared their opinion that you are a lightning rod-type poster. I'm not saying I'm any better.

Who says he isn't? Just not as fast as we want him too. Our facilities still are a work in progress. We got in late in a few commits. Seems like thats not the case for 20 and on. Rebuild is all encompassing. Did you here the quote from one od the recruits mothers last week? About how after visiting the last staff she crossed us off the list and wanted no part of us but was gushing about the new staff and environment?

I have no idea why guys from the 18 class wanted to play for butters. Why guys like Schwartz or divad Wilson were lining up until he was fired I dont know. If he could get his recruiting sorted at some point then I'm sure mullen and crew will as well.

And Everyone bends the rules but I don't for a second think Florida has the same systemic support to illegally recruit athletes the way the bamas, Georgia's and aTms do.

How is UCF doing?
How is CMU doing?

That is a positive.

I definitely wanted him over Mullen. I guess that's why they kicked me off the search committee.

And Nebraska is 21st. And Nebraska is one of the all-time greatest football programs...

Thats actually pretty darn good considering the season and its freaking Nebraska.
