You’re right. We’ve all witnessed how horrible meyer is at putting the right players in the right position for success .
the fact that he and Mullins no longer recruit that kind of back says it all.

they certainly learned from their mistakes even if you didn't

Demps and Rainey are the types of players you get on your team when you already are loaded everywhere else. They were not every down players. They were situational package players. They did great when they were a change up thrown at the D.

I agree neither should have been a feature back, but 3000+ yards,.
Yes, two backs for 4 years each, so 3000 yards divided by 8, is terrible and atrocious for the featured backs in a running-based offense.

CUM collecting a bunch of Smurfs, Burton & Reed, and not recruiting offensive line for his last two years is exactly how this turd sandwich we've been eating for a decade started.

There's a reason Demps' NFL career lasted a couple of days and Rainey was a punt returner and slot receiver, probably should have been a corner. It is because that is all they ever were.

For what it's worth, it seemed to me that Mullins figured it out quickly. He immediately recruited strength AND speed at Cowbell.

Looks like LSU and Georgia are visiting a gators commit? Anybody know? I’m assuming it’s not 2019 since the only two left are Arjei and Diwun

Lee, 2020 RB. He'll get plenty of visitors the next 13 months. If we miss on Bowman that will be a huge disappointment. Getting both Lee & Bowman would be incredible.

True. I'd love to see us add a Brandon James type in the next year or two to be a KO/PR specialist. The walk-on Jaylin Jackson could possibly fill that role. I hate to see him wasted, the kid has moves.

It is starting to appear that the KIND of recruits we are in the hunt for in 2020 is more like what we expect at Gator Nation.

I never truly comprehended just how fast Demps was until he took that hand-off against UK in 2011 and went 80+ yds in what seem like about 8 seconds. That said, I agree with Neteng's assessment of him and Rainey. In case some of you never saw it, or just wanted to see it again:

Yep. I'm really hoping the 2020 class is top 5.....and no worse than 2nd in the SEC. That puts us in a good position to compete w/ UGA's talent gap. I like filling the holes the way Mullen has w/ Krull, Jefferson, Grimes, & Shuler....and now Greenard. Greenard, Krull, and Shuler don't help our "Talent Composite" much due to being 3-stars out of HS....but they have certainly matured into 4-star type talent.

I bet Toney could find the holes, but there's zero reason to do this. It would be like weedeating with a flame thrower. Sure, it would work but not a huge upside. I wouldn't mind seeing him line up in the slot and motioning into a two back set with an occasional power, counter or trap call with the RB leading to keep the defense honest. But that would be predicated on getting him there to be the pitch on an option play we aren't going to run with FF at QB.

So FSU is clowning around about Henderson. Said he has grade issues and that’s why they backed off. Also said dad was demanding that they give his brother a scholarship too.

Well we’re tougher on admissions giving OVs than most Universities, so I feel comfortable that he is on schedule to qualify. What a bunch of Clowns they are

With the way the rest of the conference is recruiting we'd need to be top 3 to be in the top 2. Spot 5 could realistically put us at 4th in the conference.

Figured as much. I’m least confident in keeping Lee in the fold to be honest.

Well I never want to see anything like Demps/Rainey again except as a change of pace back or a switch to WR. Smurfs always do great against the non-power 5 schools and the bottom feeders of the SEC on the schedule. What they do however can not be replicated against the big boys. That UK game in particular caused me to just know that Muschamp would fall in love with running smurfs and try to replicate it later and fail as he did. I do not mind a PR specialist, but quick rather than speed matters more there. I do not mind a KO return specialist, but KO returns are fewer and fewer these days. But for RBs, I like speed, but I will trade down a bit from world class or near world class speed to get someone with some power and wiggle.

yeah, that really makes no sense. Grade issues are going to prevent him from getting in there, but not UF? And Dad only insists on a scholly from them, but not the good guys? That's not even good spin. The grade issue comment reminds me of one of my wife's favorite lines (on those rare occasions when she's feeling snarky): "I got in to UF but not FSU....said no one ever."

It's damage control. This one hurt them - the fact that they are still talking about it, trying to spin it is all the proof you need. This is a high profile case of Cousin Eddie bodyslamming Blackelwain.
