I refuse to read that.This is a decent collage of articles from @on3 about Rashada, the class, the recruiting plan for Florida, his learning from first cycle. A bunch of short takes that actually help balance the pumpers and dumpers hanging out here. I really believe this man learns at a high intelligence rate, so I'm confident the product will continue to get better over time.
Recruiting the State of Florida and closing on top talent within the state will lead to having the talent to compete for championships.This is a decent collage of articles from @on3 about Rashada, the class, the recruiting plan for Florida, his learning from first cycle.

Agreed that getting the state’s best will always be a goal and a step towards championships; however, you’ve got to take into account that not only are we vying with F$U/Miami and maybe UCF, but also many other top programs (read as Bama and UGA most specifically). Thus, we’ve got to recruit very well regionally/nationally for 1/3 (more or less) of our recruits to get and maintain the overall level of talent to move from good to elite consistently in my opinion. As several have mentioned, what Billy and staff accomplish through the portal primarily and maybe with a couple of unsigned HS players can add icing to the cake. I think the portal will be the best place immediately to do that, so it will become more interesting as all the lesser bowls in particular wrap things up.Recruiting the State of Florida and closing on top talent within the state will lead to having the talent to compete for championships.
We did better this year in the top 20-50 Florida recruits but had none in the top 20.
BN and staff are working the Florida HSs and, hopefully, will continue to make more long term in-roads.
Miami killed it this year for top 20 talent in Florida. I think (hope) their approach won't pan out long term.
FSU stunk up the joint. Again.
Need the Florida legislature to "accidently" pass short term "barriers to entry" legislation for out of state programs. (fuching Leghumpers)
Long term, I would like to see the Big three in Florida squeeze out (mostly) the Buttsniffers and Bamma. I think there will always be a few loses... but outsiders have had it too easy. I would also like UF to dominate the big three.
First let me say, I'll need donkey to spell the word Trask as a security check at the beginning of all his messages.
It’ll obviously be a couple of years before we know how good this class is, but that 2010 class had a surprising number of either outright busts and guys who either never lived up to their potential or did it somewhere else. (To go along with some real rock stars.) I know it’s what we all do, but rating classes the year they sign is silly.I agree.
This class could, on the field, overall, do better than 2010s, all time best recruiting class (on paper) that UF has ever had. (I seriously doubt it but there were some busts and we did have Muschamp as a coach
But on paper? It's not worth comparing. Why even bring it up? (journalists). 2010 >>> 2023
I wasn't trying to nail you for posting the link. I was nailing the "beat writers" for the headlines.
Who is comparing that? 2010 is the best UF class ever. It’s only the best since 2010 because all the other classes,other than one of Muschamp’s classes, completely sucked.
Napier's OL recruiting hasn't been anything to write home about. He's been average at interior OL recruiting but his tackle recruiting has been pure dog shyt. If he doesn't go ape shyt in the portal over the next few weeks we'll be wishing we had a Muschamp level OL.
In the press conference, billy actually said most of the big guys are already 10-15 pounds heavier than what was stated
The problem wasn’t the talent with Muschamp. He always recruited. Great talent. Even his OL had great talent because he was big in transfer athletes. Biggest problem was his inability to recruit OL at the high school level. At one point he had only recruited 2 in two years.
