He looks solid. And for those who don't know, the guy who's busting all the long runs is Jordan Scarlett.

Yes it is an exaggeration. The young man looked at other options and instead chose to do the honorable thing and stick with his first commitment.
Law you said this in response to my post
"It wasn't just about Clark. Clark stayed with a great coach on a team that wont be fighting for last in the SEC.
It was Dillon leaving and Horton waivering. Losing the kids to Vandy, Kintucky, UCF, and Syracuse. We may not land 10 commits.
Don't act like any one of you thought this is what would happen two months ago. "
And this Law is exactly the point brother... we all knew this would be an uphill climb for recruits this year, we all had resigned ourselves to realize that was a huge possibility. Man it just seems like you, even though you just said it, somehow had convinced yourself if we did not have this good to great class it would be the end of the world. At least most of your posts lately have sounded that way. If we did somehow come out with a good to great class that would be HUGE for us, but everyone realized we may not with him coming in so late in the game. It is what it is man, just take a deep breath and cross your fingers and hope for the best man. Go Gators!

Rivals now has us in a dead heat with Army. All kidding aside I think we will end up around # 25 when all is said and done.

I noticed that, but also noticed it says Army has 49 commits. Just curious -- what's the deal with that?

I dont care about final rankings at all. Next year, maybe. We need OL and a few LBs. Nothing else matters.

McElwain is a successful person with a positive attitude and outlook on life...and he positively affects the lives of the people around him. I don't care what the ranking of this class is...he will have a positive impact on these kids, get them to buy into the program, and right the ship of Gator Football. IMHO. There will be bumps in the road...but I really think we are going to proud to have him as a Gator.

Hey, 90 isn't too bad! 90... Say that's a little bit better than our offensive rankings over the past couple of years!
We are 69th on the team rankings now on 247 and scout

Also, I have a question for those of you that have been following recruiting much closer than I have...
2015 aside -- I'm talking about our previous WM classes that were actually ranked top 10 -- how good a job did that staff do at getting early commits compared to other top programs those years. e.g. getting a 2013 or 2014 commit in 2012.
When I read about the sky falling because we can't turn the class around in a month, this I what I keep thinking about. Recruting isn't just a season any more. Even when flipping a guy from a school like 'Cuse, which to us seems like a no-brainer, we're really competing with relationships that have been 2 or 3 years in the making. So I guess that's why I'm asking...

I does show that many names - maybe they can take as many as they want since everyone is on scholarship or something.
