Not what I said, but you must think all blue chips are created equal. There are plenty of 260 lb BC’s, but I don’t want them over a 310lb 3* that can squat a car. It’s not about a diamond in the rough, it’s about finding physically ready kids that are coachable, regardless of stars. We aren’t talking about CB’s and QB’s

Yep, and Walker seems to be leaning Miami (flipping from South Carolina). Hopefully something changes, but to only be serious contenders for 3 blue-chip OLs is pathetic. We should be in on 10+, and land 2 or 3. We've signed 11 OLs in two classes, only 4 have been blue-chip and 1 is gone/injured (JUCO transfer). If we sign 3 or 4 in this class w/ zero blue-chip that will give us 4 out of 15.

Well let’s hope UF crushes the caines in Week 0 so that we can change a few key players’ minds.

Didn’t I read we’re gonna do that Barbecue thing again with recruits soon? Any good chance of us actually landing a commit?

2020 ILB - we could use him and it would keep him in FLA, from STA.

Been trying to respond to this for days, so here goes...
I was told basically the exact same thing you posted, and in addition, that several sources talking to my 'guy' also all used the same words when describing the direction of recruiting - unorganized and no communication. It was stunning to hear that he was told by these sources that folks in the building, to paraphrase you, "...aren't sure exactly what they do all day..." WTactualF?
He related a story as told to him, that a highly desired recruit committed to an out of state school, worked out an unofficial visit to UF with one of the assistant coaches; all he asked for was a hotel room for him and his GF. He was told it would be handled. The kid shows up with his GF, and they have nowhere to stay. It wasn't handled. So, unorganized and no communication, and they were left hanging.
It's pretty disconcerting that we're hearing this from probably different sources and that they're saying the same things. CDM seems like a good gameday coach but does't have a handle on this aspect of the job.

Wingo would be a huge pick up. I'm surprised he committed to Penn State so early....and that UGA, Alabama, and the other usual suspects haven't pressed him hard. He is a stud, would be a 5-star most years. He's mentioned Miami, Ohio State, UF, Texas A&M and a few others - really surprised not to hear UGA and Alabama (which is good). He'd likely be a three year starter at ILB. He's being pushed by Robinson and Grantham, so that's good.

Recruiting should have an overall "game-plan". DM should keep ongoing score.
Coach Mullen should "thumb-wrestle" for every top recruit.
Multiple consultations with recruiters by Skype video phone = keep them revved-up like half-time speech.
Obeying the rules for phone contact, why not have reservation video Skypes with Jack Youngblood, Steve Spurier? Emmitt Smith, etc. For official visits show highlights of Gator greats at UF, in NFL followed by that retired star telling how UF assured their full good life. (Then go to prisons and present videos of Miami & FSU stars. :cool:)

He would be the only ILB on the roster.
I honestly have no clue what their plan is. Maybe play numerous stars? I seriously have no idea. There arent even any barely acceptable alternatives.
Oh.... I see. 215 pounds. That's why Uga and Bammer aren't on him. He is going to need at least two years in the weight room.
We don't have the time.
Probably playing walkons again.

BBQ is overrated, everyone knows recruits prefer pizza parties.
