Recruiting 2023 Recruiting Thread: 4* OT Caden Jones completes the class

Evaluation matters a ton, so prove the homework was right. There are hidden gems if you can find them. In that regard an individual rank isn’t that important.

BUT

If our average isn’t in that .95 range once we’ve got 12-15 commits then the dynamic won’t have changed. You can have a few of those individual reaches but the bulk of the class has to pull us up to top 3-5.

I think these guys are ours to lose. Am I wrong?







Oh...and this guy...


...but we just took Patterson so........

By the way, if you actually go and look at Patterson's track times, that 100m time is an outlier. He has been a 4x100m runner except for that one race in February. He is not listed as runner 1 for any of his 4x100m events. The winner of that particular 100m had a 11.31 time (slow). Times across the board for that race were a little high compared to other races. Basically, not going to focus on the 100m time.

That would be a fine start. I hope you’re right.

I really appreciate your work, btw.

247 has recently bumped Creed Whittemore to 216 nationally, 21 Ath, and 42 Fl. It is a huge bump. He may go higher. I want him in this class because we need another slot besides Wilson and Creed is extremely fast.

We love fast.

Excellent post. The only concern I have in this take is the timing. The days leading up to NSD of some of our most heralded classes have always had some off the radar types. The difference with the last two coaches is those names were front loaded. I don’t think that’s the case here, but agree that if we’re making a living off of players such as this, it’s not going to end any better than the others.

Good point - best to be stretching when you’re filling out a class rather than starting one.

If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

I think what is telling is that within an hour of going public with Gator Collective he was getting calls from recruit's parents. These recruits and parents are looking for the best paying job. We can recruit like the big boys but if we ain't paying like the big boys We aren't going to crack the top 5.

As if some athletes' parents weren't insufferable enough already.

If it was up to me, he would already be fired.

If it were up to me Florida's head coach would be named Lane Kiffin.

Glad to see you're finally coming around.

The fact that you don't already know the answer to that says way more about you than it does me.
