Recruiting Recruiting Notebook 5/18

LOL. Who said we are ignoring the state? There's a huge difference between ignoring and not being able to recruit. Just because we're visiting doesn't mean they are closing. Right now they are ****ty closers.

Don't ever mistake effort for results.

This just hit SEC Country:

It would appear the staff isn't ignoring the state of Florida.

No surprise here.

I'm here to serve!

.... we couldn't have got a better recruit !

5 commits isn't good. Most of our competition has at least 7. Only Ole Piss and Auburn have as many or fewer.

But we're being picky this year. Just like we were going to sign 30 last year.

Earlier in the thread...

WHy can't we recruit FLORIDA!!!!!!

Perhaps if you asked "why can't we EFFECTIVELY recruit Florida?" the true context of your question would've been clear. Plus, there are a few others who have made comments (not necessarily using the word "ignore") who have stated in general terms that imply UF is focusing on recruiting outside of Florida more so than in state.

Forgive me for for using a little creative license and sarcasm. I keep forgetting how many lawyers (real or imagined) are on this board.

The good news is we have an almost insurmountable lead over Vandy

Hopefully things pick up significantly but this is all that needs to be said.

Excellent. We are keeping some great company with the dregs of the Power 5.

All these new facilities sure have helped our recruiting take off.

Calm down. We're being picky this cycle because we signed a huge class of 24 last year.

Yep...it's pretty damn embarrassing!

All is know is that we MUST sign at least two actual defensive tackles meaning they are at a minimum 275-280 lbs plus with a potential project as a third
we can't rely on converting hybrid defensive ends to tackle and expect to win the trenches. The kids in college football today are big so we must get big there

 

[alcoholica]

I can only hope that some big recruits are worried about the end of last season and want to see what happens this year

It's too early to hit the panic button, but not too early to show a little concern. The staff is now in their 2nd full cycle, and the first cycle where they have had relationships for a entire year as representing the University of Florida. I'm one who does think that a 17 year olds commitment in May doesn't mean $hit, until it is on paper. We are in the running for a bunch of these kids, but we should have a few more that have us at the top of their list in Florida. Now if we show the offense we had the first 6 games of last year over 13 games this year, it will help out a lot. If you are a Florida Offensive Player, you watched out Offensive tape from 2010-2015 what gives you hope to really excel (except at running back)?

You guys are something else lol...

 

[Frozen Gator]

If you're going for the very best recruits (except Alabama) your not going to get many early commitments

Dang we are behind Muschamp right now in those rankings. lol

They might be a good sign however as we are there with most teams in 4 stars right now.

Most teams? Great. I thought we wanted to be the best not average. OSU has 7...Bama 6...OU has 9....FSU has 6

We have three. But that's cool. As long as were like most teams.
