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

[GR8 2B]

Add a few others:

DE Chantz Williams

RB Keyvonne Lee - we all know he de-committed, but he's still in the picture.

ATH/Safety Avantae Williams - current Oregon commit, never visited there

DT Jalon Carter - leaning FSU, but UF is pursuing

Safety Demore Tate - FSU commit, UF recently offered

Then there's several others outside the Top 20 - we could get as many as 10 inside the top 20 (more realistically, we get 7 or 8) and then another 7 or 8 inside #21 to #60 (or so).

Like we've all been saying: Win the State...Win Championships!

I have a hard time seeing this class finish outside of the top 5. The only way that happens is if 5 other schools land a ton of 5-stars. We likely get 1 5-star, possibly 2 - hopefully Beck keeps climing an so does Dexter - that could give us as many as 3 5-stars.

Sounds like you're projecting us to get about 15 of the top 60. No question, a class like that coming in on the heels of the current class would put us on a trajectory towards another Nattie.

247 moved Gervon Dexter to 34th nationally and the 2nd best DT in the country in their personal rankings

I can't wait to see this guy in orange and blue.

This. A lot of this.

Former UF OT Jason Odom's son is taking a visit to UF this week. 6'6 240lbs, 3-star TE. Not rated very high right now, but has a lot of potential as an in-line TE (true blocking TE that can catch). Will be interesting to see how his recruitment goes:

Jonathan Odom, 2020 Tight end - Rivals

He's currently on campus and reporting that Mullen offered.

Agreed, and what an understatement. I think he's our best DT prospect since Easley and Floyd.

I have always thought that the long windup is overrated as a con against a QB. Lots of other qualities are a lot more important. Can he deliver the ball to his receivers on time and accurately?

Huh? Maybe in college based on offense. In the NFL, release is everything. Want to know why Brady is so dominant. He has virtually zero windup. Probably the most compact delivery in the history of the NFL.

I'm gonna totally blow a gasket if we don't land Chantz Williams. He and my son go to the same school at Oakleaf High. From what my son tells me, he's been somewhat discreet. He has a high interest in UF but wants to take a closer look at Bama and drawing a little interest at Miami, only because of Shaq Quarterman being a fellow Oakleaf player and he is monitoring what seems to be a sh** show at Miami. I also believe there is another Oakleaf player who is either drawing interest from UF or has an offer as well, just not sure who it is.

We have A LOT of Rushbackers.

Marino?

The other Oakleaf player is Jalen Rivers, OL. #22 player in Florida, 4-star. He and Williams apparently want to be a package deal:

Jalen Rivers, Oakleaf, Offensive Tackle

I agree w/ Law that we have enough Edge/OLB/Rushbackers or whatever the f*ck they're called. But so does Alabama. We cut Griffis loose for Williams (so says many of the recruiting sites), so we'll see.

Marino?

Pretty close. I would say that Marino had more velocity. Sometimes too much power. I think he broke the fingers of a couple receivers. Or that may have been an urban legend.

But if you watch Brady. When the ball comes back it’s already by his ear. His movement from dropping back to delivering the ball is virtually nonexistent.

 

[BMF]

He has 26 offers already (27 counting the new UF offer). Most are to G5 schools, but like many others at this point, he likely moves up the rankings after a few camps. He is a legit "in-line" TE, which we need. If he can catch 10 or so passes a year, that's a bonus.

 

[BMF]

This is just a "let's throw our hat in the ring" offer, but would be a nice pick up:

4-star, top 150, 6'5 280lb SDE/DT from Houston, TX, Vernon Broughton

 

[Swamp Donkey]

I agree w/ Law that we have enough Edge/OLB/Rushbackers or whatever the f*ck they're called. But so does Alabama. We cut Griffis loose for Williams (so says many of the recruiting sites), so we'll see.

to be clear we'd be lucky to get him and happy to get both. I'm just saying we've got some depth at rushbacker and it wont be critical.

That's not what made Brady great. His accuracy is tremendous not to mention being able to read the defense both pre-snap and post snap, evade the rush, etc., etc.
