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

[EyeDocGator]

Rumors we may lose Jean soon, he’s removed all his gator info from his bios, and un pinned his gator commit video.

He may not want to compete for playing time with Mizell and Wilson.

It could be that! It could be he has watched our pass offense and isn't impressed either.

This is CFB in 2022. I heard a Podcast the other day and they called it "College Free Agency" .

But remember, that works both ways. If you're a 2nd string QB and think you can beat out AR? A TE? A burner WR?
If you are sick of cold weather? Or just want to play in the SEC?

No way. @oxrageous assured us that decommits only come to us... like Hotel California, they can never leave.

I'm staying out of this thread until after ESD. Teens are too flaky.

One things for certain... Crystal Balls are for $hit.
Thought it was Clemson 100%.

They are but we’re also in unchartered water here with NIL…that’s throwing a wrench into everything and come December it’s really gonna be the Wild West. What happens if a Ruiz coMes in late with a huge offer to a Bama kid and they flip? Then Bama has to target someone late and steals them and so on…it could get real wild. All of this recruiting in the regular season could mean nothing.

You don't even watch the effing games, so quit commenting on Gator football altogether.

Anyone we lose will be replaced by someone as good or better.

I loved the response from one fan. He suggested that Markeise write a check for $5 million and encourage all of his NFL gator buddies to do the same.
Anyone dare to guess how much Emmitt Smith has contributed?

In think in law enforcement they refer to that as a "clue."

Rumors are spreading on Twitter. It’s more than just “clues”.

If UF wanted McClain, they should have matched the offer.

How do you feel about our DB class? When Dijon committed, I thought that substantially lowered our need for McClain. Not sure I’d go all in for a DB when you’ve already got several studs in the class.

Yeah. It’s been rumored for a couple weeks. Lotta smoke around Miami.

I still think that's the primary reason in most cases. If a kid can get $500,000 in one place, or $2 million in another, what is he going to choose? That's going to trump the team he prefers, the scheme he prefers, the team momma prefers, everything. Teenagers aren't thinking what's best for them years down the line, they are thinking about now. They aren't rational. Were YOU rational at 18? I sure as hell wasn't.

That RB that went to Jackson State over FSU is the poster child for this. By every indication, McClain was a Gator until he got the $$$ offer from Miami. That's not me sucking on the staff, I think that's what friggin' happened. If UF wanted McClain, they should have matched the offer.

UF didn’t know. It shocked them and his family.

I expect the grant-in-aid scholarships will eventually shift from their current annual renewals to some form of binding contract that obligates and protects players and schools. Maybe that is happening with NIL deals.

So you are saying you might as well wait until recruiting season?

Teens are too flaky. UNLESS they are @Detroitgator's Elite kids.

FIFY

If Jean bounces, I wonder if we'd circle back to Sorey. With harsins gone the door might be open there.

I heard on a podcast that Napier told his players that now was the time to decide if they want to continue in his direction?

There may be more, on the team or recruits.
