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

[leogator]

Bowman is listed at 5'11 190...but he's closer to 200 now.

Lee is 220+ and his 40 time is slow, so he probably needs to lose weight (for now, until he gets into a college S&C program). He likely plays at 220+ in college.

Don't try to talk yourself into the "we didn't want him anyway" thought process w/ Bowman. There's a reason he's ranked so high, he's legit.

If we get Lee, we're in good shape. I'm not sold on Smith (but would still take him). Maybe Bowman changes his mind before December? Either way, it's a huge miss by our staff.

I don't think he is anywhere close to 5'11" OR 190. Always discount the height and weight by at least an inch and 5-10 lbs. I would have liked Bowman in this class but I do not think it is as much of a loss as people like to present it. I also have not seen any 40 time listed for Keyvone Lee. I know Bowman is a 4.4 guy. We have enough of the 190lb guys with Malik Davis and Nayquan Wright. We need the 220lb guys ala Perine. Now I wanted both of them in this class but Bowman would probably have to move to a hybrid role.

His listed weights/size is from last season. I'm guessing he's grown. Again, there's a reason he's a 5-star. Lee ran a 4.7 at the last camp he went to and came in looking overweight (that's the reports from the guys who cover the camps).

@NickdelaTorreGC: RB Demarkcus Bowman, the top rated player in Florida. commits to Clemson over Florida.

Assuming all bagmen are equal, which program makes more sense right now? I know where I’d go and it’s definitely not in the state of Florida.

No way to spin this. This is a huge miss by this staff. Gonna need to land elite guys on your board if you’re going to compete for championships. Only criticism I have on Dan is that he’s kept some dead weight on this staff as far as recruiting goes. He can bring us a championship, he just needs the elite talent to prove it.

Remember that it's not over until it's over and this is not over yet.

Apparently, its not over anymore when its over either

AR got upgraded to a fourth star. Just saw a brief post.

247 Composite Rankings.

So other than Lee (maybe Smith?) what’s the rest of the board look like on RBs?

I find it very telling that Mullen let Bowman slip to Clemson. Yes i get it Clemson is Clemson right now but he has 3 teammates that signed here last year. I just dont think Mullen can hang with the elite recruiters and it will cost us a decade more of football. He is Mark Richt 2.0 and Strickland will keep him around because he will win 9-10 yearly.

Lawrance Toafill, Tank Bigsby.

I guess Bowman's mom did not think that the Lakeland kids would be positive influences in his life. The fact that Jalon Jones was accused of sexual assault did not exactly help our case.

For a second there, I thought I was in the Political forum.

Runningbacks are a dime a dozen. No miss in that regard. What hurts is the perception. One of the top players in the country is in your own backyard and you whiff. Not a good look for the staff. Still, he is committing awfully early. This isn't over at all.

Bowman put up 250 + against st Thomas last year in state finals....too small ? I'd take him

...and Keyvone Lee put up 250 against IMG. Just sayin...

Just repeating it for good measure.

I just looked at Tank Bigsby's film. Not bad at all. Big guy, with verified 4.5 speed, hard to bring down and has moves. I think he's ranked #8 among the RBs in this class. 2221yds for his junior year on 238 attempts. He also has 14 rec for 217 yds.

 

[Thick&ThinG8r]

I believe Bowman had to commit earlier than he may have liked, just to save his spot in Clemson's ridiculous class.
Even our stand alone won't get us near that level.

That makes Lee mandatory imo
