Recruiting 2020 Recruiting Thread: Gervon Dexter gets 5th Star on Rivals

Not according to AR. He isn't Kyle Trash, like it or not. He wasn't coming to be the 2nd option.

What. if AR was the first and Beck was the second option? We're going to take 2 QBs this year no matter what.

Ashford has shown a lot of interest in us. The plan was to take 2 QBs this year since most likely Franks goes to the NFL (hell he thought he was ready this year) and Trask transfers. We want 4 QBs on the roster. It's not a slight towards AR, it was not AR or Beck it was AR and Beck.

Well, we going to TRY to take two QBs. Doesn't always work that way. Ashford is a highly rated Alabama kid, who's leaning Auburn. He'd be a really nice pick up, but he's like the others listed in the 247 article - a pipe dream. Could it happen, sure. But he likely stays in state. He's rated significantly higher than AR. I think AR is going to be it for QB in this class. But you're right, it would be nice to get another one. I'd hate to see one of the Jones' transfer (the one who gets beaten out) down the road.

And that's why we need to take two. We could lose three after next year.

Oppprtunity, not luck.

When UF succeeds it's 'dumb luck' and when UGA succeeds it's due to their capability?

Yeah, when we target the same kids as Ugly last year and they win 25 of 26 of those battles, it is capability.

I was thinking about the Davis situation a couple days ago. It was someone named Mitchell that we flirted with right? Someone who amounted to not much. Davis made the right move, he had a better line to run behind up there.

We dallied with Keith Marshall. Much better coach in Spurrier than Muschamp.

This kid is a headhunter. Shades of Brandon Spikes there. He’s got some pop to him. Need that kind of aggression in the SEC. Hope Steele can convince him to bring his talents to Gainesville!

Trask should qualify for a medical scholarship since he can’t walk across the practice field without getting injured. #glass

What is Franks going to do in the NFL? Intern in a front office? I’m happy with his progress in 2018 and look forward to more this year, but he needs a quantum leap in reading defenses, timing and accuracy to have a shot in the NFL.

Don't tell me, tell him. I'm still mad at him for missing wide open receivers.

You have no idea how heavy that clipboard is.

Let's talk about QB Robby Ashford out of Hoover. After I watched his 2018 highlights, here are my observations:
1. Sees/scans the field very well and picks secondary receivers
2. The play calling did not have a lot of designed QB option runs, rather he had the option to run if the receivers were covered. At least from the highlights it looks like passing first from the shotgun, take off if covered offense
3. He's a good runner, probably not a 4.5/40 runner but fast enough
4. Needs a bit of cleanup on footwork but nothing major. Needs a bit of seasoning, 1-2 years before he can take over.

Now let's talk depth charts. Auburn has Bo Nix, Joey Gatewood and Cord Sandberg. He will not dethrone Bo Nix unless Bo Nix gets hurt. Georgia will have Fromm (maybe, if he wants to stay for all 4 years), Dwan Mathis and Beck. Ehhhh, Beck is a better fit than him for that system. I have not watched Mathis's film yet so I am not sure whether he can beat him. PSU will have only Sean Clifford as a RS Jr and Michael Johnson Jr as a RS Freshman by that time. They also have Micah Bowens in the 2020 class. We will have E. Jones, Jalen Jones and possibly another QB in the 2020 class.
