Safe to say our top playmaker signed/committed is Fraziars? Underwhelming offensively to say the least.

This current class echoes on field about three years from now. IF he fixes it, and I have almost no belief he even knows there is a problem, and the new coaches recruit better, the 2020 class will change things on the field in 2022 or 2023.

Do you really think he can survive being 2-3rd in SEC til that long?
And we know we are going to deal, even further, with Mac last classes on the field this season (2020) for sure. It was CRITICAL that we hit a home run this cycle, and it looks like a solid double. Not enough.

It is the misreading of the landscape and having solid players who wanted to commit going elsewhere while we put all the eggs into a basket with a hole at the bottom that is problematic. Dan is too experienced to not see which way the wind is blowing and let his position coaches blow it like that. To let these RBs go to other schools and then get nothing and the same for WRs? Terrible.

He ran Sunseri off, and rightfully so, and then Sun beats us on Smith, but Turner crushed it otherwise. Billy and Knox have a lot to answer for, but the buck stops with Dan. It may be too late - this was a huge risk. The lines looks better, as Dan promised after NSD in February, but the WR room was going to be a huge deal and now we have to pray Manuel makes grades, which did not work out at all last season, so who is to believe it will again this season?

It is a good class so far, but it lost the ceiling today. Even with a couple of solid gets after today, it is a solid, top 10 class, and better balanced than before, but exposed some key flaws that still exist. Dan has to act, and act decisively after NSD.

Yup... bags of money or kidnapping is the only excuse.

Cant be a shytty coaching staff.
Donk, it was a joke. But it's also not a secret. Hell, the bammer fans I know don't even try and deny it. They literally laugh about it and consider themselves untouchable as long as lil' Nicky is there.

What amazes me is that anyone here actually thought we were going to flip anyone today. Thats not who we are. We aren’t flipping anyone from Bama/UGA/OSU/Climson and cant even keep a 3* from picking West Virginia over us. Every year this thread starts the same and ends the same, shame on all of you for playing the Charlie Brown role year after year. This class will end up around 15th when its all said and done, then we’ll lose some recruits to grades, some to the law and some to the portal. This class is really no different than it has been under chump and/or butters.

There are only a few things you can count on as a Gator. Zero 5 star recruits. Being good but not great. And Jeffrey Epstein didnt kill himself.

2:26 p.m.: No surprises so far today for the Gators after Tim Smith stuck with the Crimson Tide and Brown opted to head to West Virginia. Florida remains an option for four-star defensive end Donell Harris, who will announce in about 90 minutes whether he’ll stick with the Aggies or flip to the Gators.
Why are you posting stuff a half hour late with A DAMN TIME STAMP :lol:

No I said since the beginning of this cycle. You’re confusing me with you saying we’d never win 10 games

Being I never said we wouldn't ever win 10 games, the first half must be a lie as well... Thanks for confirming.

Slevin was mostly much more restrained this year, which concerns me.

I like Dorky Dan more than I ever thought I would but I dont see how he pulls this out.

Slevin seeing it too means it is probably actually closer than I expected.

Nobody and I mean nobody has said more times that we must have facilities to be able to pull in top classes. It has been said over and over and over but when the class isn't a top class there is no mention of facilities...….
