Recruiting Official Recruiting Thread for the stretch run #10

[Bullag8r]

"Florida fired Muschamp on Nov. 16, but his long-term future had been in limbo for nearly 12 months before that. Foley took a gamble in bringing back the embattled coach following a disastrous 4-8 campaign in his third season and the noise never fully dissipated. It's no surprise, then, that most of Muschamp's recruiting targets in the class of 2015 were reluctant to pledge their services. But nor did the commitments start rolling in once Florida found its new man.

As of Monday morning, not one of the Scout.com's top 45 prospects in the talent-rich state of Florida had announced a decision to play for the Gators. Kentucky, Rutgers, West Virginia and FAU could all claim at least one. Most alarming, a program desperate to rebuild its offense had yet to land a quarterback or running back"

So what else is new? Is this news or just more wallering in the mud? No relationships = no recruits, duh! Another so-called sports writer trying to re-frame the drama and the misery that is UF. Meaningful change takes a lot of hard work over a period of time. Gator Nation is down temporarily ~ what big time school hasn't been down? The damn sky has not fallen just because of a few down years.

Michigan was not expected to sign a large class due to its number of available scholarships. Still, many expected the former Super Bowl coach and renowned recruiter to start reeling in big fish immediately.

"They're going to be fine," Newberg said of Michigan. "They have a roster more conducive to a quick turnaround. They're in a much better position to close out this class than Florida."

Thirteen 3 and 2 stars? Pathetic

Ingenuous. While the rivals fet over 5-stars, UF shocks the 3 stars with offers they never thought would come.

 

[ATXGator]

FIFY

Yeah.. I scanned quickly and missed the other two... oh, well.

Thirteen 3 and 2 stars? Pathetic

Calm down - We are about to catch Texas-San Antonio soon. We also signed a 5 star walk on long snapper.

Thirteen 3 and 2 stars? Pathetic

What an original thought. Not like we haven't heard this multiple times in the previous 9 recruiting threads.

that guy eating the popcorn looks familiar

You were away. I didn't want it to get stale.

@DerekTysonESPN: Final prediction for Jordan Scarlett tonight: Florida.

I find it funny that people are complaining about the 2 and 3 star kids we are getting, but if we didn't get them they would be telling us how horrible we were for not getting them. We all would prefer 5* kids, but with how badly Muschamp screwed us over we have to do the best with what we can. Hopefully we can get some good news tonight and things start turning for us.

Settle down everybody, it comes down to coaching. The last guy couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag, he could have signed every 5 star guy on the board and he would still go 7-6. If Mac can coach these guys up things will turn in a positive direction. Spurrier's first class was nothing special and that turned out okay. Just look on the positive side, Muschamp is no longer our head coach.

CeCe's cousin is on a GC thread saying that bama is in better than he thought with CeCe. He said Kiffin and Smart were at his bday party the other night...

I dunno if CeCe is playing games but I hope Kiffin did not bring his wife to help recruit CeCe...

Well she's a Gator. Wouldn't that help us?

"People don't realize how poor [Florida]'s roster is offensively. They need a complete overhaul," said Newberg. "They need to really attack that side of the ball with this group, or it's going to set them back another year."


I don't agree with that unless he is specifically talking about O linemen.

 

[GatorGorilla]

Tyson thinks Cowart, CeCe & Ivey are all trending UF positive today. He is currently driving to Baker Co. to talk the CeCe face to face and will have an updaTe later. Scarelett and Cronkrite is the backfield would be awesome

Athlete Chris Williamson (Gainesville, Ga.) will pick between Michigan and Florida at 10 p.m. EST this evening airing on Fox Sports South according to Gainesville recruiting coordinator Wayne Jones. Williamson officially visited both schools the last two weekends. The Crystal Ball reads 87-percent for Florida, seven-percent for Michigan and seven-percent for North Carolina. The three-star prospect is ranked as the nation's No. 44 cornerback and the No. 39 recruit in Georgia in the 2015 class by 247Sports.com Composite Rankings.

@Carvell_AJC: I'd be shocked if DB Chris Williamson did not commit to #Gators tonight. Great visit & trust factor (his HS coach was #UF DC's HS coach)
