It certainly seems like we are going to have some talent coming to us out of S.Florida with Shannon.

We got two commits for 2016 today.

DE Eric Mitchell - http://www.hudl.com/v/CW68j
LB Vosean Joseph- http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3229487/vosean-joseph

The highlights on both these guys look impressive and while the star ratings may not be high... guys who dominate in S.Florida tend to be very good players.

He is absolutely killing it in south Florida. Who would have thunk it a few years ago, that Randy Shannon may have such a huge impact on rebuilding the talent within the Florida program.

Mitchell is listed at DE but he's likely to play LB at Florida. Mac and Shannon are obviously getting a jump on the LB need for 2016.

We ought to own South Florida. There's nothing down there but Rutgers South Campus. You go to the West and there's the Gulf. You go to the East and there's the Atlantic. You go to the South and welcome to Havana. You have to drive over 300 miles North before you get to real college football. It's not like some of these states where you have a lot of other state bordering you. Tennessee has more states that border it than any other state: Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Gerogia, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Missouri all border Tennessee. South Florida should be a pipeline to UF.

I didnt. But since he seems to be doing such a good job, I hope he sticks around. At least long enough to allow others on this staff build their own relationships down there. Oh yea, and long enough to win another NC.

Cool Geography Trivia Lesson there Okie. Must be why they act like the circle jerk pivot man so much.

Mac will get the agencies to bump the star level to 4 by the time they sign in 2016.

I agree with his size and speed he is most likely going to play LB. I think they have the need an the scholarships to really take a lot of LBs and hope some become special.

What? 6'3" 230 lbs. with a 6'6" wingspan and before he has access to unlimited food and unlimited weights. Rest assured if this kid can play it will be with his hand in the dirt on the D-line.

Lol, I'm just imagining what his parents have had to do when shopping for groceries at Publix. Kid must be breaking their bank.

Maybe in time. 230lbs won't cut it though. SEC OT's will toss him around at that weight.

Hopefully he'll gain 20 lbs of muscle and we stick his ass at MLB. We need an enforcer inside who can make people think twice about running up the middle on us.

Mac has Shannon working as planned. Now, Mac, get us a pipeline to some those top Texas high schools.
And also get a Samoan coach-advisor.
