The National Signing Day Thread

Should have taken the Tom Loy crystal ball seriously.

 

[Dunder]

Not seriously, no. Do you think he would have committed to Ole Miss if Bama wanted him?

I get the feeling depth chart is very important to him.

 

[MertzJay26]

I'd rather Trask get a shot before we put Franks back out there.

 

[MertzJay26]

None of this makes a lick of sense. Something is lurking in the shadows.....

It makes perfect sense

 

[oxrageous]

I get the feeling depth chart is very important to him.

There could be some truth to this. I certainly got the feeling he didn't want competition and the idea of another QB being brought into this class enraged him. I detest that attitude and want competitive players.

If that's the case, then going to Ole Miss made perfect sense. I'd be surprised if their recruiting class was in the top 80 this year.

 

[MertzJay26]

Was Alabama not interested?

Maybe as a greyshirt

It makes sense that he isnt coming here to run the option. It doesnt make sense that he committed to ole piss. You would think he could have chosen just about anywhere to go to. Something is up.

Ah I see. It is odd but maybe he will go anywhere that he could start day 1

Maybe. There are other schools that arent dealing with all the crap they are...just seems really odd to me.

TJ McCoy tweeted at Fields last night with an image that’s been deleted. But basically shows the team no longer has confidence in Franks to get the job done.

 

[CGgater]

Trying to catch up... did Corral cancel his visit to UF?

 

[Bait'n Gator]

Corral probably ran off because Copeland called him gay the other day.

This is what happens when you find yourself in a bass boat at a scarab race. Corral was a fish out of water.

Keep fishing till you get it right.

I'm hanging on to the feeling that Fields wants to come here but wasn't confident in Mac and his system. He made it a priority to leave FSU early to be at Florida's Friday night lights. Now with Corral leaving this class, there is no certain future at the QB spot. Fields would start day one and be the most exciting thing here since Tebow. If he goes to Georgia, he'll be riding the bench for 2-3 years. Florida has to be intriguing to him.

 

[Durfish]

Thought this was good to see.

I love Ahmad, but what competition was he referring to?

Assuming there are no transfers (which we know will not be the case, there will be attrition at QB), Florida's depth chart is loaded with QB's;
Zaire (probably gone)
Trask
Allen
Franks

Even if Corral honored his commitment to Florida, there is no question that Mullen would've brought on an additional QB, most likely from the JUCO level. That would place 6 QBs on Florida's roster and while the talent isn't necessarily there, that's a lot of bodies with in game experience for an incoming freshman to "compete" against. Shea Patterson is attempting to transfer to Michigan, which leaves the cupboard totally bare at QB and with the imposed sanctions, no QB worth their salt will even look Ole Miss' way.

It's clear, based off of the lack of interest from other schools in Corral and his commitment to Ole Miss, that he took the easiest path to starting at QB on day one.

I know this is been said many many times but it seems like Corral leaving is a result of one of two things: Either he didn't want us (or DM) or Coach didn't want him.

Does anyone else find it strange that he didn't write a letter and post it on Twitter like all the other kids that decommit from schools seem to be doing now... I want to thank the University of Florida... want to thank the coaches and those who have believed in and recruited me... After much prayer... after talking with my family... I feel that is my best interest to decommit from the University of Florida... and commit to...

I know that that is not the written rule that you have to do that, but it seems like that's what all the kids are doing now. And with as social media-focused as Corral is, it seems weird to me that he did not do this. Seems a little like Coach told him he didn't want him and he's a little butthurt.

Please tell us you didn't stay up all night thinking that up.

 

[oxrageous]

......and he's a little butthurt.

I think we're going to come to this conclusion many times over. I think he was butthurt over Mullen even thinking of recruiting another QB.

 

[g8tr72]

That's what you gotta love about recruiting....a QB recruit seems very committed to a coach and system that has been TERRIBLE developing the QB and HORRENDOUS offensively for 3 years.

A new coach comes with a great reputation of producing and developng good QBs and the recruit leaves.
