Good class.
Meh ending.
We got some good Safeties, but missing on tae hurt.
Stealing a 4* SDE helped.
Got a better TE coach and recruiter.
Knox sucks.
English only slightly less.
Solid OL and DL groups.
AR's future is bright.
Shorter and Lingard might boost the class.
Baby Hendo could be a highlight reel.
Expectations remain a bit guarded.

That is one hell of a synopsis - well done. No pumpin' no dumpin.' Just the facts, man, just the facts.

Wait I thought this was Snapchat. They don’t go away?

Your agenda is exposed by your sophomoric put downs. I’m too old to be offended. It’s humorous. You have strange infatuations.

Good class is overstated. Average class (for UF). Less than Chimp, better than Shark.

A little bit good? (4 top 100 players vs 6 for Chimp and 12 for Meyer.). Good enough for second to third place?

A good bit better than nothing?

Candidate for post of the day...or at least the thread. Sums it up.

Average class is understated. We missed on a few, but I don't think it destroyed the class. Shorter and Lingard might cover our losses at WR and RB, but I don't want that to be the norm.

To me, the biggest win is that we got beef on the line, finally. Better talent on OL. Legit DTs and SDEs instead of 5 Bucks at 210 a piece. Dexter gonna go beast mode.

Wish we got another MLB to join Wingo (who btw is another beast), but maybe Savage is able to create 1 or 2 who are already here. Hope is not a plan, I get it.

Getting Manuel and/or Britt would be a bonus, but I'm not holding my breath.

Good class.

Please be clear. This is in no way a we didn’t want him any way post. But to Ox’s question, this Williams kid is exactly the type of kid who chooses miami over UF. A total clown who has chosen the wrong decision at every pass to date and who we’re suddenly expecting to right the ship and become a decent citizen. The fact that he’s leaving behind children at 17-18 says a lot. Yesterday’s decision was just the most recent in a series of “who cares” choices that has shaped his entire life.

As I’ve said before, I’ll never sweat a kid who chooses um over a place like UF. They are flawed at their core. The whole thing makes me angry beyond belief. Want to beats a guy like English with the nearest stick, yes. But there’s also a small piece of solace feel when a kid like AW goes to a place like um. There’s zero chance he would’ve made it 5 years here and probably less than 50 he ever makes it as a cane.

The motherfvkker has been paid $400 a year and has landed 2 safeties in 3 years and his position group looks like a bunch of clowns on the field.

I don't really care. I just don't expect Manuel or Britt to matter and I am skeptical of people who can't bubble in enough dots to achieve "has a pulse status ergo qualifies" to handle the rigors of UF or for that matter understand a college playbook. I doubt these guys are really dumb, so if they didn't have the discipline to qualify, I don't expect them to have the discipline to excel.

I wanted an elite safety and another goodish ILB on defense. And a goodish to elite RB. I really think LB is going to be ugly next year. Who is MLB? Burney? Some dude who hasn't taken a snap? Left over Butters garbage? Obviously a freshman doesn't fix that problem, but maybe they'd be ready to fix it NEXT year, when we are still in the same boat.

Hey! The Athletic did not list us among its 8 (the article has a top 5 + 3 honorable mention) biggest disappointments for the 2020 cycle! That is better than being listed twice as NSD/ESD losers!!! We’re improving?

Similar to a kid that chooses the Eagles over the other 30 teams in the league (Redskins don't count, fck the Redskins).
