Recruiting 2024 Recruiting Thread: 4* 315 pound DL D'antre Robinson commits

[gatormandan]

I have a sneaky suspicion this is all part of the process.

One thing we know about Billy is that he's 50 steps ahead of everyone else. If any recruit flips it's only because Billy knew it would happen. My guess is that they flip back once they see that no other program will have movie night and volunteering. Billy literally hand picked his recruits who have character and would never choose winning over character building.

Billy has a plan and a process and the process is the plan as it processes within the plan relative to plans and processes.

Yup. I heard 90% of Georgia commits are looking at doing a visit here. Its all secret right now.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

ah, back to secret commits discussion. i love this time of year

What makes this particular flip so damaging is that, if I recall correctly, Napier discovered him early on, and was one of the first to really pursue him. Obviously, the Bulldogs are the home state team, and he’s blown up in the rankings. But often times these kids stick out of loyalty to who showed loyalty to them. In this case, that didn’t happen, which doesn’t bode well for this staff as it’s a card they often play. The whole class is beginning to feel like our ‘14 class that just fell apart as we circled the drain.

Could thing we held on another year and hired an OC in the off season

In all seriousness, which I hate to do because this program isn't serious, Billy won't be able to recruit well anymore.

When this class was put together, Billy could point to his resume at ULL and then call Mullen a 'muzack warbling wuss' and promise that he would recreate his ULL success at UF. However, with two years of embarrisingly incompetent football on record, that sales pitch won't work anymore.

The absolute only way he picks things up from here and survives, is to have a great season next year. When we had a top three class, I did feel like an average year next year could suffice. But at this point, he’s being negatively recruited against so much for his on field performance, the only way he can fix that is to win a ton of games, against that schedule, and shut them up. Not terribly likely, but it’s his only shot, and a corner he painted himself into of his own accord.

The only way to win alot of games next year would be to hit the portal hard this off season. Like the exact opposite of last year. Grab some absolute dogs in the trenches. Go to the portal with real urgency. Even then it's hard to see us overcoming some of the in game decisions that makes me think we're trying to lose.

 

[TN G8tr]

Regardless of how he finishes with this class, He needs to hit the portal like he's getting a piece of @**. Hit it hard.

Whoa. Slow down pal. Let’s start by gettin a look at some of your tape. You have our address, or should I send you a letter with a return labeled envelope? And how do we wanna handle postage costs?

Like I said hit it like a piece of @**. Hell with the tape unless she's a porn storm or stripper.

 

[Tunaboat]

Good thing we only have 2 more embarrassing ass-kickings to go!

 

[maheo30]

I've never been so hyped and then crashed so hard. I think I hate Napier more than Chump, Sharkhumper, and Mullen put together. I knew those would be a crash and burn. Napier actually gave me hope. He got me believing. Then he stomped on my nuts with his 8 inch high heels.

 

[Gatorphan]

Didn’t someone say this guy a threat to flip?

Once Stricklin explained the research and hiring process it was very McElwainish. See if something tracks, Just like Jeremy Foley gets embarrassed on the national stage and settling for a guy that shouldn't be hired, turns around and hires a guy he knows no real competition to get for a P5 job. The difference is Foley got to pick two jabronies, Stricklin might only be given one. The difference is Foley was gifted Meyer (though technically hired him, and choose Billy D), what has Stricklin hired other than issues.

Golden might be a good coach. Might be. But that's all. Everything else has been trash.

It's the season ...

My point, Stricklin hasn't even helped himself in the non revenues...

Right because his entire pool including Mullen have all been or about to get canned. Trust the process.

Fooley selected THREE losers: Zook, MusDump, and Butters. Strichnine has already selected TWO Losers: Cousin Eddie and Billy Taggert. Strichnine will not get a chance to tie Fooley's record.

 

[gatordad3]

Strichnine will not get a chance to tie Fooley's record.

Let's fuchin' hope not.
