Where are you getting this info, @leogator ... and what parts are you taking liberty to color yourself? Like when you say ... 'Well that's the thinking right now' ... who's thoughts are you referencing?

Based on some insider info that reflects the staff's thinking. I just don't see him more than a possession receiver and I don't really think he's fast enough or quick enough to be even that. Maybe fades in the end zone or screens that are well blocked. However he's not afraid of contact as a strong safety.

Well that's the thinking right now. We get him in and he dazzles the coaches with his moves at WR and we will see. I just don't see him getting a lot of separation in his highlights.

I can understand this thinking. I disagree with it. But watching him at safety, I'd re-rank him as a mid tier 3 star as a safety. He looked really slow. That may be due to lack of coaching or familiarity with the position.

I'd rank him a mid 3* WR because he's slow and not quick.

I love the Britt pick up if true. Not many kids can go up and get it like that in highschool.

To me, moving from bama to UF to uk hints at grade issues.


Huh?
No player with grade issues that alarmed Bama would even get a return phone call from UF.
UF's football academic standards are waaaaaay higher than Bama's

You mean like Xavier Peters or Arjei Henderson? I could go on with recruits who commit again and again because of grade issues. Why, I don't know. If they don't have the grades to get in, no one can help. They are headed to juco.

I have no idea why Mullen took so many academic risks last cycle. I can understand Diwun Black but even he should have been a +1.

Carson Beck threw 5 tds with 1 int last night. But, he continues to struggle with accuracy as he was 15-33 for 177 yards. Dawgnation recently wrote an article blaming it on the receivers. We will see. A 45% completion rate is so low I don't think it can be blamed on poor WRs. We will find out in the future.

We will have faced Fromm twice and he is far better than Beck and since Beck's completion % is poor, we don't need to keep illustrating how poorly he's doing. Now a side by side comparison of our QB recruits to UGa's QB recruits and FSU recruits would make an interesting thread all by itself.

Fromm is still listed as a 1st to 2nd round pick. If that evaluation stays, I'd be surprised if he came back. AR is hurt. I've heard conflicting reports as to how bad. Some say he is out for the year. I don't keep track of Sims because of wiLLLLLLLLLLie. Who cares how good he is as long as that dumbazz is head coach.
