Recruiting 3 Star DB/ATH Aaron Robinson commits

[GatorJ]

Last I've heard is that Manuel has cooled on FSU significantly but is still considered a lean. I've heard that Robinson has cooled on us a bit. It's going to take a lot of work and a much better season to get those 2 guys. I was really surprised with Mullen's choices. He loooooves the Big 12 and has said so repeatedly. He was a huge FSU lean but may be bigger lean to LSU than FSU. TCU is his top school.

Lawrence has really given no indication. But he likes Gainesville and we've historically pulled talent from NC for whatever reason.

I agree with everyone on Bosa. But in every interview he says he likes Florida.

We are hot and heavy after 4 big time defensive prospects. I've put their measurables, position, Overall Rivals ranking, and Rivals Position ranking below. I put what percentages I think they'll come as of right now.


Trayvon Mullen - 6'2, 156 - CB (#75, #9) UNCOMMITTED (20% - Loves the Big 12 - And he's from Coconut Creek. Weird)

I hope that is a typo on the weight. Even growing a couple more years, hitting the weights etc, he would top out pretty light although he has the height to pack it on.

Has anyone heard the official class size goals for us? I know early entrants will affect it as the year rolls on but I'm thinking we may take a huge class.

Seeking more clarity on this, on what is the max possible - anyone know how many EE spots we have, and then how many remaining scholly's for the fall? I recognize we won't get our max possible (not all EE spots that could count against '15 will get filled, and we will likely not hit our max spots to fill in the fall) but just wondering what the ceiling is. From that we can back figure how many may EE, and then we can look to what will fill in for the fall.

Welcome to Gator land. I know we need bodies and I'm sure I'm not the right person to be asking this...what's up with all the 3 stars? Serious question, no disrespect meant to the new staff.

If I'm not mistaken, aren't the bulk of our signing classes usually 3* kids?

No. The bulk is normally 4*

Depends on how many we take in a given year. We should have a nice mix of a couple 5's, a bunch of fours and then you fill the class out with 3's. I hate Muschamp more and more(if that is possible). He ruined our brand.

I think you guys are only recalling Meyer's recruiting classes for the most part. Seems to me that we've always had about half of our classes (or more) as 3* kids over the past 20 years. Obviously, Meyer recruited at a higher level than almost anyone in the country, but that was only a few years.

Appears I was mistaken. Not much of a recruiting junkie, but the good news is we still have about 25 roster spots to fill, so we can get there.

And, for the record, I am not banging on Mac & Co but it seems that they have some serious work to do to restore the Gator name.

Yes they do. I think we all knew it would take a couple of years for him to show some results on the field before kids start looking our way again, but hoped otherwise.

Victor, Ridley, Bruce and hammond would good haul receiver wise. Even the Isaiah Johnson kid looks good if he sticks.

Also got that Wells kid from Jax who committed back in January - he's rated a 4-star by Rivals.

About a 1/3 of of out 3 stars will be 4 stars after camping. But we need some four and five star players. I don't particularly care about 5 Star for offensive line. It's so hit and miss with that position. I'm happy about our recruiting for that position. However we need five and four-star DBs, LB's, DEs, DTs, WR, RBs, TEs, and QBs.

How's this for scary?

2014 - 0 LBs
2015 - 1 three star
2016 - 1 two star committed

45 players are four or five star on this list. We have exactly ONE commit. That's just not gonna get it done or turned around. But it's only June, right?

There is another big fish receiver we will get too

I heard it's good to be a big fish in a small pond.

I flip flopped them. 1 two star in 2015 and 1 three star in 2016.
