[Slevin]

Robinson is the 2nd ranked recruiter in the country so far. With around 18 more commitments available he’s pretty much guaranteed to finish top 5.

Saw this the other day, kid looks like the REAL DEAL!!

Social media buzzing about Florida commit Josh Griffis who dominated Under Armour Camp

Saw this the other day, kid looks like the REAL DEAL!!

He had a great camp. He was being sh*t on by a lot of posters on other message boards as "the floor" for this class - some were calling him the Trent Whittemore of the class. I think this kid grows into a 260-270lb SDE and makes a big impact. I think because he's a "white boy" he's getting short changed and is going really hard in these camps to prove himself. We need to see him do it in games this fall, but just by his camps he'll move up to a 4-star.

Hopefully he'll be a "white boy" in the mold of JJ Watt!

The Florida Gators 2021 class has already gotten off to a fast start, and grew by one more on Wednesday when Melbourne (Fla.) Eau Gaillie athlete Dink Jackson committed to the Gators. The in-state athlete, was offered by the Gators earlier this year as a linebacker and didn't take long to give the coaches at UF the good news that he would be pulling the trigger.



"[My head coach] Coach Sands talked to Coach [Greg] Knox this morning. He said Coach [Dan] Mullen was fired up about it."


The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder is a rising Sophomore and already holds over a dozen offers currently from schools like Alabama, Baylor, Florida State, Miami, LSU, and many others. However, it was his childhood love for the in-state Gators that was too much to pass on.

There's a 2021 thread.

He's apparently grown a bit since his last measurables and says he's 6'5 230lbs. He can easily get to SDE size. He's got a motor and appears to have great work ethic. I'm not going to say he'll be all-SEC, but he certainly looks like he'll make an impact (starter/rotation player). I want to see some of his game film vs. quality opponents this fall.

Reading the 1010XL article on Griffis, he says that Grantham told him he'd be an OLB in this system:

“I talk to (Mullen) a lot and Coach Grantham a lot,” Griffis said. “I went up there last weekend and Coach Grantham sat me down in the meeting room and he showed me what position they would have me playing, outside linebacker, standing up on the end.

“He showed the scheme they run and all the techniques with the pass rush that they teach linebackers to do.”

What type of player are the Gators getting in Griffis?

“With me they’re going to get a player that is aggressive and fast,” Griffis said. “That’s what I like to base my game off of. I think to be a good football player you have to be aggressive because that’s what I’ve always been taught.

“Speed and aggression, that’s what they will get from me.”

Well, he did say they were on other boards......

I like Griffis a lot, I saw where someone said he should go to Bama and he replied nope....Im good and then some Gator fans saying he deserved to be ranked higher and his reply was "But I like being a 3*"!

Kid gets it and will be the Black (well technically white) champion of the class!

Wow, just saw that. The twitter thread was speculating it was a personality issue.

Here's the USC 247 story:

South Carolina releases statement from Muschamp on Belk

"After talking with Josh Belk, he has decided to give up the game. He is a fine young man and we wish him the best," Muschamp said.

Belk told vizorsports.com that he was leaving the team because of a back injury: “I fractured a vertebrae and decided to choose another path in life. One that won’t potentially mess me up in the long run with injuries and all. Been praying and this is what God has led me to.”

I wouldn’t have seen it if I didn’t keep reading...but either way it was an interesting read

My only concern is that he looks amish with that neck beard. I'm not sure we can tolerate that.
