@AndrewSpiveyGC: Randy Russell commits to Florida

3* Miami safety.

I'm not particularly thrilled with this commitment. But I really don't know much about him. He is supposedly in a rising senior and one more of the coveted safeties in the country. But I don't know if that's just spin or not.

He decommitted from Miami when we started pursuing him.

Have you tried depositing your oxbucks yet?

They have the same value as toilet paper. So I print them off and use them as such.

Shhhh....don't tell the donkey we got a 3* DB.

We'll see where and how this guy does. But what I do like is it's looking that we are really trying (I said trying) to have a presence in South Florida. It may take a few of these guys to repair some damaged relationships on the recruiting trail. I still say keep Nord and Nussy out of South Florida.

I think this guy will be good but i'm still hoping we can get CJ smith back in this class. Can't teach his size and he was a 4star.

I know this is the accepted joke on here - that we oversign DB's. Well, the fact is; we don't. Go look at the f'ing roster. Now that we lost Harris for the season we're up sh*t's creek and we will very, very likely see a true freshman starting this fall. So, if we had 75 DB's on the roster we wouldn't be in a position to HAVE to start a true freshman. The "we sign too many DB's" schtick is complete Bullsh*t!

Also, this day and age of dual threat QB's and spread offenses have mandated MORE DB's and/or hybrid type LB's. That's why we had success w/ guys like Brian Poole, who at 5'10 209lbs is a perfect example of these type's we are seeing college defense's use.

So, I'm happy to see us get a commit from a DB like Russell.

We'll see where and how this guy does. But what I do like is it's looking that we are really trying (I said trying) to have a presence in South Florida.

Yes, we're making a "splash" in south Florida the last few years.....but at the detriment of giving up Jacksonville/NE Florida and the state of Georgia. We signed ZERO from both last year and the one's we have signed the last 3 classes haven't been the top talent from those areas. We've essentially conceded Jacksonville to FSU, Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State....and any other school that wants to go toe-to-toe w/ us there. We need to continue our push into south Florida, yes...but we need to also not forget about our bread and butter areas. No excuses to whiff in Jacksonville AND the state of Georgia.
