Rosemy is a 4.6 /40 kid but is quick. Reminds me a lot of Swain. There don't seem to be a lot of game breaker type receivers in Florida this year besides Arian Smith and Fleming. Lots of possession receivers though.

I haven't seen anything on him, no mentions on the UF boards. I think we're hoping to land Henderson and one more WR - possibly Poitier.

This kid is expected to sign w/ UNC (who is killing it along the DL), but this is the first I've see a mention of UF.
(this is from an UNC board):
Kid looks like Debo:
Trenton Simpson, 2020 Outside linebacker - Rivals.com
"Schools like Florida, Georgia, and Alabama have been by Mallard Creek High in recent weeks and speak to Simpson and his mother frequently, multiples sources have told me. While I haven't been able to confirm it, Simpson is rumored to have secretly visited UGa at some point (similar to the aforementioned UNC visit). As soon as he de-committed, new programs reached out to Mallard Creek High's coaches: a source said that NCSU's Dave Doeren personally reached out and a separate source believes LSU is highly intrigued by Simpson.
Multiple sources expect Alabama to receive an official visit from Simpson. Florida, a source believes, has impressed Simpson with its recent contact and how highly Mallard Creek High alum T.J. Moore has spoken of his time on campus. Another expects Georgia to once again put the full-court press on Simpson."

Mack Brown always was a good recruiter, what is he now in his 70's too? I'm glad he seems to be making UNC competitive again, I want Scum and the Noles to have to struggle as much as possible to crawl out of the gutter.

Here's a little bit that I came across from In The Game (ITG) magazine, a South Georgia prep sports publication, that talks about a recruit from Valdosta High school, Jaheim Bell:
College football is rich with tradition and symbols.
With the rise of the “Turnover Chain” at the University of Miami, we’ve now seen later iterations of traditions, including turnover pencils and chainsaws. There is a form of team camaraderie built in these symbols, meant to celebrate defensive excellence. But was the turnover chain the first of these symbols? Wrong. There’s a certain tradition that belongs to the University of Florida that has been passed down for eight years now, long before Mark Richt was at Miami.
If you’ve been to Valdosta High School football games, you may have seen a doll on the sidelines, the infamous Chucky doll.
When Jaheim Bell initially committed to the University of Florida, the doll became a staple around games, and it carries a tradition that goes back a few years for the Gators.
Chucky, of course, is the murderous doll from the cult classic movies of the 1980s and ’90s. But the Gator tradition was started in 2011: When defensive end Dominique Easely had the Chucky doll, it was a symbol of the Gators’ tenacity and killer instinct on the defensive side of the ball. It was that defensive dominance and spirit that made the Chucky doll their staple for years to come.
Chucky became the second symbol for the Gators, and their killer instinct on the defensive side of the ball was being written into the record books. Florida was constantly one of the top defensive teams in the country, and every year saw another great prospect drafted from their ranks.
From then on, many players carried on the tradition, with Dante Fowler Jr. taking the doll from Easely and passing it along for years. It was a span that saw 17 Gators defensive players drafted, showing their dominance. That’s when it hit the recruiting scene.
Many players began using the doll as their unofficial form of commitment to the university. The symbol for the great defensive players who had pride for the Gators made its way to high school sidelines, and now you’ll see the doll with nearly every recruit. The tradition had transcended its initial purpose and became a Florida Gator staple.
Bell had it with him to announce his initial commitment to the University of Florida, and while he may have since turned away from Florida, the Chucky tradition lives on. You can assume you’ll see many more Chucky dolls come National Signing Day as players don the Gator blue and orange.
Bell is a 6'2" 213 lb. athlete from Valdosta High School. Don't know whether he signs with us (has offers from us, Bama, Oklahoma, Arizona State, and USCe), but you've got to like the photo!

No, you two are. Mark Richt was consistently around 9-10 wins a year with a down year here and there, followed by a good year, sometimes winning the east. Its irrelevant HOW he got to 9-10 wins, what matters is that unless we recruit better, our RECORD will be very similar. Richt did it with meh coaching and solid recruiting, we seem to be doing it with meh crootin and solid coaching, but your record is what you are.
Also, to say Richt lost, but mullen won is laughable. Comparing the first 2 years of each as HC, and also HC in the SEC, Richt won a heck of a lot more than mullen did, a LOT more. Comparing tenures since both became HCs in the east, the records so far are very close, however, Richt had 2 less wins his first season (8-4) but went 13-1 his second season. Are we going 13-1 this year?
Just for shts and giggles, heres his results for the next few yrs: 11-3, 10-2, 10-3, 9-4, 11-2, 11-3, etc.
Tell me more about Richt losing but Mullen winning, and how wrong I am....

I saw this. Out of nowhere too. Not sure what it does for our chances with Washington though I fear it hurts us a bit as bama was recruiting both.

On a positive note. It appears recruits are starting to take notice to the crap Kirby has been spewing.
