Recruiting 2019 NSD: 4* DE Khris Bogle and 4* CB Elam signs

[BMF]

Totally agree. One of the most important gets right now. If Pickering flips and we get them both they could both rise very quickly up the depth chart with the current roster. Any word on Pickering?

Pickering played for a state championship last night and his team lost, he got injured in the game but later returned. I imagine now that his season is over we'll hear more about his recruitment. He's still committed to MSU, but UF and Alabama are pursing hard. I don't expect him to flip though. He seems content playing for his home team.

Recruiting Scoop - USC hoping to flip four-star LB Tyron Hopper

Hope we hold this LB class together.

USC's mods/writers are high AF. They think they're flipping Hopper & Hill and getting Steele. It's sad.

Cowart, the 5*, #1 player in the nation who struggled to even break the rotation at Auburn. Did the recruiting services really miss the boat on him!!! They don't have categories in their evaluation for work ethic in practice and relentless effort in games.

Classic tweener.

Like RoPo.

That year that Rocket Scientist Chimp was trying to recruit three tweeners for us to play the same Buck position.

His girlfriend definitely liked Gainesville.

Losing those guys would out us into sub-Butters territory.

We should never be in this position. We need to hire recruiters and build facilities YESTERDAY.

He was 6-3, 277 as a freshman at Auburn. You mean tweener between SDE and...SDE?

The big miss was Jeff Holland that year. Wasn't 2015 the transition year between Chump and Mc Elwain?

I think Champ was at Auburn that year.

Yeah, Muschamp essentially stole both of those players. No telling if Cowart would have been better here...but Holland was a star from Day 1. I think Jarrod Davis was just as good, but having both of those guys on the same team would have been nice....but wasted due to the other side of the ball being mentally retarded.

Somebody needs to get all of these buyout clauses right. No more full buyouts, just one or two years. If you want to work during those two years your buyout will be reduced by how much you're making in your new job.

I agree completely...but, it's a supply and demand thing. If we wanted to lure a coach from another school I doubt you could get a favorable buyout clause, especially if the coach is being pursued by other schools. I've said 20 times now if Mullen fails let's go hire a successful 1AA or D2 coach like Kerwin....offer $500K w/ incentives that get him to $3 million or so (such as $100K for any win over 9 wins, $500K for winning the SEC, $1 million for an NC, etc). I think it's absurd what's going on w/ salaries, especially w/ empty seats (I know the ESPN money is coming in, but if there's empty seats it means the team isn't performing up to par). It'll never happen (the 1AA coach scenerio) at a school like UF, but I'd love to see a Vandy or Wake Forest do it in the future.

Holland had huge grade issues. I don't remember him getting an OV.

I think Champ was at Auburn that year.

Transition class. Chimp left us with the 100+ recruiting class because he knew he was sh itty and getting fired. So he didn't get any top talent to commit.

Yeah but he had no problem getting into Auburn.

This is hurting my thumb to type this, but Mac actually did a good job with his 1st class. I forgot we were literally outside the top 80 in recruiting that year. In a matter of a few months, Mac put together a top 20 class.

I’m gonna sterilize my thumb now.

Holland struggled til year three. CeCe was the only one that showed anything as a Fr, then we move him to DT, bc, you know, 245 lbs was big for our DL then.

Not bashing them. Just stating the obvious. You can go with the theory that Granthem pulled them to sabotage himself. I won't.
