With 2 weeks left he may decommit and recommit a couple more times

Yep

 

[GatorJ]

Losing recruits to UCF, yes !!!!

Actually we lost him to USCw. USCW lost him to UCF.

Regarding Payton, I'm hearing his grades were an issue for the UF staff, they didn't even extend him a visit offer.

“@PhilFretwell: @ClutchLikeMJ so what did you say to Byron? #GatorNation wants to know. Lol” we were talking about pizza

It's pretty obviously 601. He didn't take the Lebrone is Gone thing very well.

Can somebody tweet, "No Will, you did not win! That is why you are no longer a head coach."

Chump doesn't have AU at the end of his account. Just someone looking for attention

Doesn't surprise me. Anybody can get it to UCF.

Thought this was going the big weekend of commitments. WTF?

Jabari Zuniga is announcing officially tomorrow. Rayshad Jackson was allegedly annoucing today. Clark and Cronkrite were supposedly on commit watch today too.

But to your point, we'll see. To

If there are still no commits after this weekend I think that will be great news. That will confirm to me that these guys are coordinating the big NSD coup. There's just no way things would continue to be so quiet. You would have to believe McElwain is the worst recruiter in the world to not land a single recruit over the past 2 weekends with all the playing time he has to offer. And if he can't recruit we've got a lot bigger problems than what Muschamp left us. If today is uneventful I'm happy.

Extremely risky approach. I can understand wanting a hand full of big fish to commit on signing day, but we need to get some of these guys in the fold now. In Steven Clark's case, I'm trying to figure out what an Alabama kid is still thinking about; UF or Syracuse? It seems he would have committed on the spot.

 

[GatorBenji]

Meh, even Michigan is getting flips and we aren't getting anything. this class will blow

I'm not thinking about a handful of big fish. I'm talking 15 commits including the bigs fish on NSD. I'm talking the entire recruiting class waiting until NSD. UF doesn't go 6 months and only gets 1 commit unless something else is going on. We're a week and half from signing day and only have 8 guys. We're getting tons of attention and praise yet everyone is quiet. It's the only logical conclusion I can come to.

Or the huge coaching turn-over has kids shy about pulling the trigger? Either way, we'll survive as long as Big Mac fills our biggest needs with guys he feels he can coach up.

Lot's of teams have coaching turnover. We've had coaching turnovers in the past. It's never been this quiet. It's TOO quiet. Harbaugh's only been on the job a few weeks and he's already flipping guys at a place that's much harder to recruit than UF. I'm not buying the "recruits have to get to know the coaches" line any more. You can't tell me the 3 star guys we've been inviting in are weaiting for a better offer.

TAG knows something. Have you been dropping bags TAG?

Wait a minute... GatorTAG.... Tags are on bags.... TAG is our bag man!

Unless they signed an LOI on the spot, these commitments mean nothing. These kids from Florida seem like spoiled prima donnas on the recruiting trail. They thrive on this suspense and drama.
