Fletcher isn’t even that important. But the one praise I gave to this staff last years was not getting embarrassed by these decisions where we’re probably in a lost cause scenario at the start. We seem to be doing that repeatedly this cycle. Samson could be overrated, McCLain may not be that critical(given our DB class) and Fletcher may just be a replica of Webb with no speed. But we keep allowing ourselves to look like Miami is winning all of these contests. I’ve said from the beginning, a guy like Mario is what Smart I’d for uga. He doesn’t want to beat us. He wants to embarrass us and let the world see it. Napier did such a great job with perception the first go around. This year is the opposite. Same with Jean visiting the noles the weekend before NSD. When/if he flips it will be twice the damage than having never landed him in the first place.
Perception is important. Alot of these kids were never Gator leans. Only Rashada and McClain. (I may be wrong).
Most years I try to stay out of the recruiting stuff. It's too shape-shifting for me. It's entered a whole new realm of LSD tripping with the addition of NIL and the portal.
I put it right up there with tracking "climate change".
ESD will be here in a few days. I don't expect surprises either way.
A decent class, with some holes which need to be addressed by NSD (Either HS or Portal)
