FYI - see ATX post #142I just read on 247 that Bama offered this kid
As a safety or a CB?Bama has now offered Toney. McElwain ahead of the curve again?

I wish you were our recruiting coordinator, busting the coaches balls 24/7 to do their jobs better - I really do, as you will never be satisfied. And while that's annoying as ****ing hell, it would serve a recruiting coordinator well.
Here's the problem. I'm not being some negative nellie. Fact: Our average class since 2002 is SEVEN. Mac has a 23 and a 14 under him so far. Those are TWO of the bottom three classes since '02. That's just not good enough. He's getting his ass kicked in on the trail right now. Not good enough. Is the above wrong? Is it just that I am pointing it out?

Which 40 time do you believe?He isn't anywhere near fast enough to play CB or S in the sec. He can play QB or a slot receiver like an Ace Sanders. Toney makes Marcell Harris look like a track star.

I certainly think that Mac needs to do a better job. We should be top 5 every year.. minimum top 10. That said... if a guy like Toney is getting offers from Bama then it is very likely he is talented and his star rating will increase (which will increase our ranking). We've had the #1 class before and it has been a bust with injuries, transfers and guys who haven't met expectations. I do think that stars matter, only because 5* players tend to be better athletes and on average have more success. That doesn't mean you can't find some diamonds with 3* guys or maybe even a 2* QB.
I think if LDR can run McElwain's offense you will see more recruits start coming to UF. The second half of the year really hurt the momentum that the team had built. Treon just wasn't good enough.
Hey Rex as far as recruiting goes...Do you care more about rankings or production from the class?
Agree here. I'm not greedy, and (imo) top 10 classes will be just fine. If he can regularly pull in top 10 classes that means we'll occasionally crack the top 5 (and probably have a class outside the top 10 once every 10 years). The argument T Rex is making is valid and if we finish 14th or worse again it's not a good sign (regarding this coaching staff). Every class (even top 5 classes) have a few 3* guys, so I'm not losing sleep over it. If half our class is 3-stars...well, that's a different story.
Agree, we've almost done a complete 180 with our recruiting. I have nothing to b!tch about offensively with what we've done coming off a disastrous last 5 years, but I never, eevvveeerrr want to be some Baylor/Oregon/TTech type team....Right now, Mac's recruiting has us turning into Oregon south. We'll put up a crap load of points but we won't be able to stop anyone.

This makes perfect sense. Track times should be reliable. But the article today says Obama's offer was specifically to be a defensive back. Saban doesn't make too many mistakes at dB,???I go by his tape and his times in the 100m average 11.6. Based on his 100m times, Scout's verified 4.69 is the accurate one. Toney does track and field. So we have actual times for him. They aren't good at all.
