@AlligatorArmy: How creepy and crazy does recruiting get? Here is a screenshot of a prospect's mother's Facebook page: https://twitter.com/motm25/status/562439866940936192

What a biatch

I have no idea what you are talking about. The recruiting class we have (in terms of verbal pledges) constitutes an awful class right now. Do you dispute that? I hope it gets better. I started out saying that my big hope for this class was 19/19. At least 19 recruits and ranked better than the 20th class. I obviously said that I wasn't sure either of things would be able to happen unless we could build momentum. I don't know what will happen on NSD, but I do know that the only thing I've done is question why people were "praising" (their words not mine) two star, project commitments.

Why and the hell would I choose a 30th class over a class ranked 18? a). what "soup"(your word not mine) box do I have on here? b). who cares about a "soup" box on an anonymous message board? I think people like you invest way too much emotionally in your avatar and your identity on this board, and you think by default others care as much as you. The "soup" box you are manufacturing for me I could care less about. But I would like to know the platform of my "soup" box, so please enlighten me.

You type too much.

BTW, the irony is that's what anyone with any semblance of hope or optimism has been saying. Meanwhile you've been throwing rotten tomatoes at them for saying the same exact thing you just declared. Irony is ironic.

When have I thrown rotten tomatoes? I've said two things:
I told one poster that it's important that recruits go ahead and commit for us and not wait until NSD because we need to lure the bigger recruits by showing them they will be surrounded by talent. Momentum is important. What is truly ironic is now that we have gotten momentum, you are for some reason targeting me (the guy who said it was exactly what we needed if we were going to be successful) in my face. Pretty dumb.
Second, I've questioned why the sheep feel the need to be happy and excited over project players when this is a class that we need proven players.

I'd say calling people sheep who disagree with you might be considered throwing tomatoes.

Who cares. You need to hear both sides on things imo. I don't think hardly anyone was trying to blame McElwain for our recruiting situation anyway. If this class ends up about 20th to 30th after where it started nobody can really say I told you so because we are Florida.

Just read the whole article from this canes site http://www.stateoftheu.com/2015/2/2...t-dexter-williams-marcus-lewis-tyree-st-louis

I hope it ends as badly for them as this guys sounds

I know on for a fact that was being pretty douchey about the whole thing

I am above name dropping though so I won't be doing that

So if we do good, we can't say anything because it is Florida. But if we do bad, we can complain about it?

I read somewhere that he may decide today but I can't find anyone confirming that, or a time.

I did read that Quarvez Boulware decides today at 5pm between UF and Maryland.

* correction: according to this link, Boulware announces at 5 on Wednesday, not today.

FFS...just quit the b*tching or the "I told you so". It's like watching a bunch of little girls fight over a hair bow or something.

I don't like the doom and gloomers getting a free pass. :headshake:

No I am just saying I don't think hardly anyone was trying to blame McElwain for the mess we are in and that if we recover to around 20th to 30th no one can really pump their chests because we are Florida who hasn't had a class there in a long time. I am like most here and hope we got some nice pickups. Spurrier's first class had 10 of the so called top 50 players in Florida and only one ended up doing much out of the 10. Lets hope we get nice results with this class.

There you go

But there is nothing else to do right now. Plus I think I look good when wearing a hair bow and ray stole the last one.

How much time did I invest in my Av....a simple copy and paste dude. Not that hard.


Oh... And Here's to hoping that after NSD you get to eat a nice big helping of shut the hell up "soup."

You weren't paying close attention.

In the context of what? This all stuff you've manufactured from your Soup box.
