Recruiting Official Recruiting Thread for the stretch run #10

[Ray Finkle]

We have 58 returning per Goldkamp and 56 per another site. We need 27 to 29 to be at full strength vs our SEC opponents that traditionally oversign and run off after spring practice. Only have 13 commits basically 36 hours before the faxes start rolling in is just plain not going to get the job done. It seems impossible to have done any worse if you tried to.
So, we are going to compete next season short up to 16 scholarship players? How the hell is that supposed to work out this season AND next season? Are 4 star players allergic to our coaches? WTF is going on?

We will get to at least 20, probably more. Calm your tits

I would not accept punch from Wobble. #Roofiecolada

So tonight looks like -

Scarlett @7pm
GG @ 9pm
Williamson @10pm

I'm not sure everyone understands how huge it would be to land Scarlett tonight. Instant offense, best homerun hitter potential on offense since Percy/Demps/Rainey. Don't believe me, watch:

I do. He is very very good.

Stop it! If you continue to be positive you will end up on the same list I am on. Oh yea, dont dare misspell anything, we apparently have several spelling teachers on board that will make sure everyone knows! Makes em feel smart I guess...

Just FYI, using the word profit for the word prophet is, definitely, not a spelling problem.

You knew exactly what I was getting at right? So who gives a ****? Do I need to spell that out for you?

I'm not the least bit worried about 3* OLinemen or DLinemen. It is easier to project on the DLine, so naturally a higher star rating would be nicer. In the end, these kids have to have time to physically mature to make a real difference. There are always exceptions (and Cowart may be one), but I'd take 3* lines and 4/5* skill players all day. I would say that a caveat is a speed rushing specialist.

Here is an example, in 2007 we signed John Brown (DT), Torrey Davis (DT), James Wilson (OL) and Carlos Dunlap (DE). All were considered either 5* or very high 4* depending on the service. Brown and Davis (save 1 play) were busts. Wilson had basically 1 good year, and Dunlap was sporadic at best until his final year. That same year, Urban pushed Linvel Joseph out of the class to make room. Joseph was a 3* kid from the Gainesville area who now has a SuperBowl ring. If you're willing to do the research, you can find a bunch of these stories. The lines are very hard to project, especially OLine.

Wait a minute dan, there is no "v" in that word. Damn public schooling.

Wow I must have watched his junior highlights last time. That senior tape is pretty amazing. He's a lot like a young marshawn lynch but with speed lynch probably didn't have in college. He has incredible balance and his power/shed tackle ability almost doesn't make sense it's so good.

 

[Ray Finkle]

This bickering is all Muschamps fault

 

[DevoGator]

Boom! Sure glad we got him before Texas offered him.

Our program still smells like Dawgsh%$.

Fooley rolled for double or nothing and lost huge... then hired a coach of whom no elite prospects had ever heard...bc hes the best AD in the history of forever.

No Colorado State flips. They must certainly have somebody committed that Mac wants

Yep, he missed the GSU signal, among others.
