Recruiting 2020 Recruiting Thread: Gervon Dexter gets 5th Star on Rivals

[BMF]

As for safeties, at this point you wonder if it's not a failure to take safeties, it is the plan. Just take a bunch of CBs and move some to safety?

Avantae Williams is visiting again for the O&B game. He's an Oregon commit and UF seems to feel really good about flipping him (he's a top 50 recruit and #3 safety in the class - close to a 5-star). He's a HS teammate of Dionte Marks (2019 UF WR signee). He was previously committed to Miami...so we'd be his third commitment if he flips.

I want to see Mullen on the trail like ...

As far as DL goes, we already got two heavy guys (Dexter and Brown) .

250 is "heavy" now? It is only 5 pounds more than a real middle linebacker.

The kid is a DT, you know that. He's expected to be a 300 pounder. Don't be silly.....

 

[NOLAGATOR]

It's nice to see our numbers ...both quantity and quality up ...early on

Think he has a kid too. So either proximity works out for us, or money wins out for someone else

 

[Slevin]

6’2, 170

Rivals says he’s rising.

Rising in their rankings or in size

 

[Mr2Bits]

News is Clemson wasn't able to close on Bowman and hes attending the spring game this weekend, think we eventually lock him up and hes the class jewel but its neck and neck.

We know you prefer Slatons fat ass. Two full years and yet to make a meaningful play.

 

[-THE DUDE-]

Please, he was the primary pushing the "June will be HUGE" bs last year. I guess it was huge, we lost several recruits.

Im sure he is just echoing what the staff told him, but they were just incredibly wrong.

Yep...back when the Cali connection was all in for UF and so was that TE (from i think Illinois Billingsley?) and they all told the staff they were coming but didn't. The TE visited bama and was hooked and the Cali guys all went west coast...except for Steele that ended up back here. Our coaches wasted a lot of tim

He does which makes it seem like going to Oregon is a very odd move if he were to stick with them. I think he stays closer to home and appears we have a good shot if he keeps showing up to campus

Oregon could have been pre-baby. I know everyone bitches about the money angle, but it’s real. Plus Spiller has a kid and took off to Clemson, so the proximity thing is nice but not sure if it’s enough

He's not attending our spring game....he's taking the SAT test this weekend.

Gotta lock up Lakeland!!!!

True...but going to Clemson from Florida is far different than going to Eugene, OR. That is a long trip and not that easy to get to. The kid seems to be a wild card though so who knows.

Donk , is this a good one??

Totally agree w/ you Law - that's why I said in my post "you know how this works". I think the staff identified 9 to 10 CB's, ranked them....and after some commits/leans elsewhere felt good about taking one off the board (vs. a Plan B that wasn't on the initial board). Looks like Fred Davis is going to commit to Clemson today, so that's another off the board. We'll be fine at CB, we always are (w/ the exception of Williamson).

We have one safety (Torrence) and need at least one more. I think we'll land one of this group:

Javier Morton, Avantae Williams, Major Burns, Derek Bermudez, Trenton Yowe, Brian Branch, Lejond Cavazos, .

As far as DL goes, we already got two heavy guys (Dexter and Brown) - we need at least one more, hopefully two. We seem to be in good shape. Other than Chantz Williams I don't want to see another "edge/ILB" guy at all.

I think I'd prefer a guy named Major Burns playing WR, not S

6'2" 250 is a DT now? Brown?

Johnnie Brown, 2020 Weakside defensive end - Rivals

Weird. All those scouts call him a weakside DE.

Morven? 211 pounds?

Dexter 6'6" 276? (Too tall to play inside, poor leverage)

Maybe. I haven't watched yet.

Where are you seeing this? I've seen on two other sites he's not going to be in Gainesville for the O&B game.
