Dang it, I looked to see if anyone made a new thread! The second I post it, I see Maryann beats me by 10 minutes.

Maryann was hot! I hear her coconut creme "pie" was the best!

I always wanted to taste that pie with a little dab of Ginger thrown in.

We could keep the Teez name around just for situations like this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe not.

What do we do? I identify them by uniform numbers?

Two Juwaan Taylors and two David Reeses? Really?

At least the Juwan's spell their names differently and play different positions. The Reese's literally play the same LB position. It's a common name I guess but it's still odd.

 

[williston_gator]

He's awful light. Obviously has time to put weight on though.

The Bottom Line: Even as someone who believe's in the sanctity of the rankings, at this time he is ranked lower than I would expect him to be in the end. Comparing him to the best of the best that were in Indianapolis and Beaverton he is closer to being a Rivals 100 type prospect than he is being a four-star outside of the Rivals250.
There is a long way to go in both this cycle and then his playing career, and I am not one to jump the gun, but I have a feeling he is going to go down as one of the top overall signees of the Jim McElwain area to this point (2 1/2 cycles).

Did that guy just say Mac's recruiting is currently at 2 1/2 cycles? He's obviously a pumper or he would be calling it the fourth year.

Easily one of the best linebackers in the country. Fantastic pick up. He's been trending toward us for a while.

 

[TN G8tr]

And the list keeps growing. Now lets add another stud and make it a DLman.

 

[I Have No Friends :(]

I'm really liking this name David Reese. Can we just make it a rule that any star defensive player with this name has to play for us?

Welcome to Gator Nation

 

[ATXGator]

Big time player at a position of need... yes please! I love me a LB with a mean streak and it looks like this kid had one!

Mac is having a great year recruiting! Let's hope this is a sign that things are turning for Gator Nation!

I'll take your word for it, but he's rated a 3 or 4* depending on the recruiting service. Any reason he's under rated? Is it his weight?

 

[soflagator]

I'm calling it now. Some form of a "Reese's Pieces" comment from Mick after a big hit from one or both of them in the coming years.

Great pick up in what's becoming a really solid class.
