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

[leogator]

I just looked at Jason Eaton's film and I can see why Hevesy likes him. Aggressive pancaker but I question the level of competition. Might need a year or two to work on strength and technique. He plays kind of high, needs to bend his knees a bit more. But that is true of most OL. You can't teach aggressiveness.

Jakhi Douglas is currently taking an unofficial to Florida.

Clyde Pinder is ranked one spot behind him (on the DT list), but he's several spots lower overall making him a high 3-star (vs. Goods being a low 4-star). Pinder plays at Armwood, which is a football factory. I'm not sure why he's not in the class already. Maybe we're holding out for higher ranked kids, but we both know we'd (you and I, and most of us here) would rather have a Florida kid that is ranked similarly.

Should be in the class just to try to fix our problems at Armwood.

210 pounds.

Why are we shopping in only one aisle?

To be clear, IDGAF about this kid or any other of these rushbackers.

Mullen regularly reads this thread and loves to **** with you, personally?

Don't we have a small army of guys just like him already? I like DM but sheesh...enough already with the skinny DEs.

I think Marcus Rosemy could be another one.

 

[JDW]

I think Marcus Rosemy could be another one.

I think that too...he’s either an evil genius or he knows Dan can’t beat him in recruiting or on the field and he’s just pushing his face in it...either way he needs to get get his or Dan is just checkers and Kirby’s just too far in his head

 

[BMF]

I think Marcus Rosemy could be another one.

Luckily we don't need small DE's/OLB's and there are plenty of other WR's as talented and capable of blocking. I'm more concerned about the line of scrimmage (OL's and DT's specifically).

I got a text from a bud....with a quote from Luke Stampini:

"It's disappointing that Chantz is supposedly not a take currently, but I've also seen this story before and they end up in UF's class. That said, if Chantz picks elsewhere that's another hit to the perception of UF, and UF isn't exactly in position to take any more hits to their perception on the recruiting trail. Especially when I get messages from other powerhouse programs that say, "I'm starting to feel bad for UF."

We are # 7 class with an entire oline coming back next year. ( let's just hope they are good enough this year)

 

[Swamp Donkey]

We deserve this.

Totally self-inflicted while half our alums clapped and called Fooley the GOAT.

UAA were some greedy motherfvkkers too. Didnt say "hey, we got enough, stop sending donations". No, they kept giving themselves raises and hiring more bureaucrats. But fvkk football and all the other sports.

Yep. I know you don't want Williams due to him being - another - OLB/WDE type that we already have too many of. But the point was the part you quoted - it's the perception. Perception becomes reality. There's something toxic going on. I'm not sure if it's the coaches, the sh*tty facilities/dorms, or just the last 9+ years of mediocrity.

I've said a dozen times, I really like Dan Mullen and I think he cares and I think he's trying his hardest. None of this is due to laziness or a lack of effort. I do think he needs to take a step back and re-evaluate. Because something's not working.

And for the "we're currently ranked 7th" crowd...it's because we have 14 commits. Unless we get higher ranked kids our ranking will drop 3 to 10 spots when the powerhouses behind us start to fill up. And...that isn't really the point of the quote from Stampini. There's a perception out there that UF can't close, can't pull in the big name kids from programs we supposedly own (namely Bowman), etc.

There's still a lot of time.....

All of the above me thinks, mediocre recruiters (only one of these assistants was being hunted by other programs) , nearly zero support staff, worse than some CUSA facilities, and 9 years of losing embarassingly and proof that this ADO isnt committed to excellence, just being "competitive" (eventually, maybe).

It is so easy to negative recruit against us right now.

Until we do commit to being elite again, I can see why kids and parents go elsewhere to programs that are trying to win championships.

There is still a lot of time

No there isnt. These classes echo on the field three years later. The 2020 class will determine, more or less, our performance in 2023. If we remain mired in 3rdish in SEC East as is likely, Mullins wont survive longer than that. 6 years is the outside window of how long he will get. Right now I expect year three to be disastrous, but he gets year 4.

Another name to throw in the ring:

Kentron Poitier, Miami Palmetto, Wide Receiver

a 6'4" 190 WR. He visited last week.
