Mac and Company on the Trail

[NavetG8r]

I read where he said something about not reading message boards...is that it?

Yeah, and he asked the guy that asked the question if he read them and he answered "yes" in a kinda defeated voice.

So, you're saying we have another winner of life trophy for UToothless? The only thing that dampens my mood is seeing so high up.

Yeah that does suck. Hopefully when we beat them again this year, them kids will start to figure out who's the right school to pick.

Since 1980, I've had one request before each season:

Just Beat


We need to do it again next year to keep those maggots in their place.

I'd like to see us get back in Jacksonville. Was reading the T/U and there were a ton of signees at D1 schools, and none to UF. We need to take back Jacksonville. Who's the area recruiter for Jax?

Hopefully we add some strong recruiters w/ these new hires.

I was wrong. I expected a disaster. Didn't happen.

Not sure.

Collins had Orlando.

We didn't get anybody out of Tampa for two years. This year we did very well in that entire area. That's because Torrian Gray was the area recruiter for the Tampa/Lakeland/Clearwater area.

 

[ufgator2002]

A

3.61 this year versus 3.36 last year. This year's average is the highest since 2012. All per Rivals.

I figured it should be better, thanks for the info

 

[ufgator2002]

Are you still a pumper if the prediction of a class just inside or just outside the top 10 comes true?

Always have been, always will be...

That's my neck of the woods. Clemson has taken over that area.

Well, Clemson didn't sign one Jax kid this year.

Kane Taylor, where are we on him? I think he'd be a pretty sweet addition to this class.

Agree. He would be a great addition....but he's a "grades issues" kid. Same w/ Byrd.

Curious to see if Byrd and/or Taylor sign w/ anyone.

 

[BMF]

Jordon Scott (DT that de-committed from us) ended up signing w/ Oregon. WTF?

I like what we got better, though I probably would have thrown LOIs at the Gaddys and hoped one or both qualified. Hard to say without knowing how far away they are academically.

 

[jdh5484]

Well, Clemson didn't sign one Jax kid this year.

It's 2012 right? Wow, I'm getting old. Brad Scott (who came from FSU as OL position coach, then the SC as head coach, then Clemson as position coach) and his son (clemson WR coach) both made inroads into the NE florida area in the 2000-2012 timeframe. It's been slim pickings since then (for whatever reasons). My bad.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

LOL, I'm still waiting on the UAA to send me a paycheck. Apparently that's the only way anyone could ever believe that Mac could land a top 10 class this year.

Dont make me trace your IPs.

 

[InstiGATOR1]

Yeah, I think Scott may have been pushed out of the class.

 

[GatorRaz]

Yeah, I think Scott may have been pushed out of the class.

Well whoever pushed him needs to play OL for us because he's 350+
