The National Signing Day Thread

[rogdochar]

I think we need to wait a few weeks to see what shakes out before we call this class lost. We might even add more talent than we had committed.

It’s a righteous double standard because we’re the good guys.
Duh!

Yeah, truly the righteousness is in saving these youngsters from having to live in Starkville.

Anyone think that Matt Corral still sticks in this class? Hard time thinking Mullen doesn’t bring in a big QB to run his offense.

I don't.

 

[lagator]

6'4 runs a 4.24 those are very Randy Moss like measurables. But the real question is if he can catch the football.

And will we have anyone who can actually throw it to him.

@ZachAbolverdi: BREAKING: New Florida coach Dan Mullen visiting 5-star QB Justin Fields on Tuesday http://sec.news/2zAmzSn

I hope DM has already had a long conversation with Corral to get everyone on the same page. I seem to recall Corral and Fields had previously made comments during the summer football camps that they wouldn’t mind signing with the same team, so maybe it’s not a big deal(?).

Like I said in the chat. If Corral can visit Bama, UF can visit Fields.

 

[MotownGator]

Get them both and have them compete. Giraffe cannot run this offense.

I totally agree, but 18 year old kids sometimes don’t see it that way. Hopefully, Corral understands. I can’t say how well he’d fit DM’s offense, but he’s been such a great Gator commit to this point that I’d hate to lose him.

 

[Gator Fever]

Hopefully he can can deliver a good recruiting class.

Hell he's already out on the road

So im going to ask this again because I asked before and was told yes, but it still doesn't make much sense to me. Is he coaching miss state in the bowl game or is he officially a UF employee now and done with state completely? And if the answer is in fact yes, he's coaching them, then I have some follow ups:

1) how is that not viewed as a conflict of interest?
2) why would he or UF be alright with that considering the amount of time bowl game prep would take away from the monumental task in front of him of salvaging this class and getting a staff together to try and get the best class possible.

I think everyone inside and out of the program knows full-well he's gonna need every single second leading up to signing day.

Anybody?

I would think he is here. Not Mississippi State anymore. He’s been removed from their website and they are actively looking for a new coach.

 

[TLB]

Maybe Corral is ahead of the curve, planning to move to TE?

I hope so, ppl in the box during the presser yesterday said he was going to coach state in their bowl and i was like wtf?!?!

Mullen, Hevesy, and Gonzales have been removed.

 

[alcoholica]

He is here. Already hired two staff members and cut some of the staff.

 

[AvgJoe]

All traces of him have been erased from MSU website. He is here. They have an interim HC listed

people were confusing the game at Mississippi State comments with the bowl game.

 

[FlGator19382]

And will we have anyone who can actually throw it to him.

Hopefully Corral will sign.

 

[SaltGator]

I really hope this does not scare Corral away, and then we wind up without either one.

 

[ncargat1]

With all of the "news" about Mullen contacting recruits, not one word about him talking to Corral. May have happened without the requisite follow Twitter-post, but I have not seen anything.
