We needed to that this class, instead it will be back to throwing a true freshman out there to kick after Pinero leaves resulting in a predictable disaster.Also this year we will need to add a P and K.

Our need is to always land basically one player at each position for 22. That is the way established programs run. This shyt of running completely out of OL one year, LBs the next then DTs the next HAS to stop.

He's like 5'9....that's why! BTW...when is the last time you've seen a 5'9 CB be successful in the SEC???? I'll wait!Rivals shows we haven't even offered Asante Samuel the #2 CB in the country #19 overall and #7 in the St of Fl, how does that happen? Such a highly skilled player and don't even have an offer with less than a year before signing day. We are the only school on his long list who have not offered him yet. I'd this why we miss on so many kids because we're always last you the party?
Janoris Jenkins is listed at 5'10" on some sites - close, but no Samuel.He's like 5'9....that's why! BTW...when is the last time you've seen a 5'9 CB be successful in the SEC???? I'll wait!

I checked several sites and can't find one that lists Haden at 5'10" (they all say 5'11"). Now if you're saying Joe Haden was 5'10" at one point, well then, so was I.Joe Haden was 5'10 just like Samuels.

I've seen Samuel in person and he's not anywhere close to 5'10. Hell my ol lady is 5'9 and she was taller than himRivals has him as 5'10. Vernon Hargraves, McKenzie Alexander, and Janoris Jenkins we're all 5'11 according to Rivals. So 1 inch taller. And he's still a junior.

So, this is wrong. Taking a guy at each position every year doesn't work, and I doubt any team does it every year (or most years). Maybe it averages out over 2-3 classes, but you wouldn't take one at each spot every year even if you could. Some reasons off the top of my head:Someone posted a link a few days ago to Judd Davis' son, who is the #1 kicker in the country and a HS junior this year. So apparently he's a "lock" to come to UF.
Agree w/ Law on landing players at each position. There's no excuse to never sign a player at a certain position group - like missing on DTs two years in a row (WTF??). I could see if there were 5 QBs on the roster skipping a year there, because that's really the only position that you play only 1 player per game (barring injuries - not counting K/P's). Other than that, sign 4-5 OLs, a TE, a RB, a QB, 2-3 WR's, 4 DL's, 3 LB's, 3-5 DB's, etc. Pretty simple concept...

The talent isn't even distributed every year. Some years are great for WRs and some are relatively weak. You want 2-3 WRs in a weak year or take 3-4 in a hot year?
You want to accumulate as much talent as you can, so you take an extra player or 2 if you think they could be great. Make it up at another spot next year. You bring in great ones when you can.
Some positions are simply more important than others, and some positions require more bodies. An O-Lineman can play every snap in a game, and an ideal O-Line would start the same 5 guys all year, right? D-Linemen rotate in and out in every game. If you have 8 DLs who can actually play, you will absolutely have all of them on the field every game. So, why would you take 5 OL and 4 DL every year?
No program gets every player they want or think they'll get every year. Not even Bama. Again, you take the best players you can. If a guy you want decommits or doesn't sign on NSD, you don't automatically grab a guy at the same position even if you aren't crazy about him.
There are other reasons, but this is enough. Bottom line is that classes should fluctuate, and the Board would be apoplectic if a coach was following your suggestion. The "simple concept" of taking a guy at each of the 22 slots every year simply doesn't work and shouldn't be the goal.
No one is disagreeing with that. One at each position is a guideline but Saban follows it pretty religiously, 5 OL and 4-5 DL each class bc the injury or didnt develop rate is so high for those guys.So, this is wrong. Taking a guy at each position every year doesn't work, and I doubt any team does it every year (or most years). Maybe it averages out over 2-3 classes, but you wouldn't take one at each spot every year even if you could.
Legs for days....a lot of territory to cover thats why I keep my women in the spinner categoryI've seen Samuel in person and he's not anywhere close to 5'10. Hell my ol lady is 5'9 and she was taller than him
Exactly....kid is overrated as $hit and is a 4* because of his last name...period!I haven't seen him in person, but I've heard others say the same.
Reminiscent of Bruce Judson.
I hope we can at least come in second.https://twitter.com/slowburn99
