Top Targets Left?

When is Brown set to decide again?

[g8r925]

Collins is going to be a good one, but what we have ain't to shabby.

[gatorbait1]

I heard were back in the mix for m. Alexander...how sick would it be to get 2 5 star cornerbacks????? Then add the rest of our db/safeties......s I c k ! ! !

I was going to mention that the other day, but I didn't want to sound like a homer, but he along with D'ernest and J.C. are really loving the Gators right now.

[MoscowGtr]

Nice! The FB position is crucial in our offense. Glad to hear this

Also, he is a nice all-around athlete. I was impressed by his defensive film. I am all for taking great athletes who can succeed at more than one position.

[GATORAZ]

If we some how pull Collins D 'ernest will probably have to go to another school. I wonder if the coaches would take J.C. right now

[VandyGator13]

The possibility of ending this class with Collins, Alexander, and Brown is really amazing! I doubt we get everyone, but the fact that they are all seriously considering is great

[g8r925]

If we some how pull Collins D 'ernest will probably have to go to another school. I wonder if the coaches would take J.C. right now

And to be honest I would hate to see it happen, this kid is dead set on going to Florida, and if we pass on J.C. we will kicking ourselves in the pants for the next few yrs because this kid is good.

Even if we dont get Collins I see D 'ernest having to wait awhile before CWM will except his commitment. That is just based off my personal assessment watching him play. I think he is a good back but feel Florida can do better.

The Gators like JC as a DB and the 2014 DB's interested in Florida are really really good.

[GATORAZ]

Still boggles my mind that people were so confident we were getting Nelson A. Last year we had the worst luck; JHC going against his whole family and picking UGA, Howard giving a silent then Miami pulling out all the stops to get him the last week, Mike Lockley getting hired at Maryland. The worst one is we were going to get Leonard Williams until his coached convinced him to go to USC the day before signing day. Imagine Leonard Williams playing DT for Florida flanked by Bullard and Fowler.

[GATORAZ]

Interest continues to build in New Smyrna Beach senior wide receiver James Clark (5-11, 170).

Clark said that Texas co-recruiting coordinator/wide receivers coach Darrell Wyatt visited him Wednesday.

Also, Clark, who had an in-home visit from Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease said that Gators head coach Will Muschamp called him Tuesday. Clark said Muschamp said he planned to visit him next week.

Is Clark able to stretch the field, or is he more of a slot guy? I figure Thompson and Bailey would be slot guys coming in

[Gatorrick22]

I'd like the Gators to land: Treadwell, Rolin, Adams and two more.

[gatorbait1]

I'd like Swanson, Colin's, e Daniels, m. Alexander, brown and an elite wideout to finish the class.

Isn't Coley the one with grade problems? Is he worth the risk?

He is the one with the grade problems but he is really good. Coley is visiting Miami this weekend.

The teams are on his list are Miami, Florida, Florida State, West Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, and Texas Tech.

Reed would make a more immediate impact than Adams, but I get a little nervous about stockpiling too many JUCOs at one position. Good thing we already have a good head start on DTs in the 2014 class with Valentine on board and early interest from some other great prospects. Looks like Andrew Brown is a legitimate target.

Don't know much about Jaynard. Seen his name on the boards forever with little mention of him. I figured there was little mutual interest. Is he a Plan B type, or someone who became interested in UF?

Texas is in pursuit of James Clark if he were to visit them they would offer. If I am CWM I offer Clark next week. I would still continue to go after the other WR targets even if Clark committed to Florida.

I hate going up against Texas almost as much as Stanford. We don't fare well going head to head with either school.

Interesting assortment of schools he's looking at. Duke is the one that makes the least sense. They'e got nothing on Stanford or Northwestern academically, and aren't nearly as competitive in football. Texas is a little odd too, since they've fallen off so much in football, and probably slipping academically because of budget issues. If he wants to win championships, it's UF followed closely be Stanford.

He doesn't have an offer from Stanford. Texas football and academics are fine. Texas wants another WR they contacted him. Its Duke Northwestern Rutgers Texas and Florida if we offer.

In the words of Husker Du, Rutgers "makes no sense at all."

Got to admit from the visits to most of those campuses, if it came down to academic setting and social life over football, It would be Northwestern hands down. That place blew me away.

[themistocles]

They just will be real picky about the back or backs they take next year. It would mean a kid like D'earnest who tried to commit earlier this year will probably not get a commitable offer.

Demarcus will have the Gators in his home on Wednesday I think it will be CWM Joker and Brian White. Then on Thursday Clemson is supposed to drop by his house. It will come down to can Clemson convince him not to take a trip to Gainesville this weekend. The last few times he has had trips set up up to go to Gainesville the Clemson coaches talked him out of it.

Demarcus will have the Gators in his home on Wednesday I think it will be CWM Joker and Brian White. Then on Thursday Clemson is supposed to drop by his house. It will come down to can Clemson convince him not to take a trip to Gainesville this weekend. The last few times he has had trips set up up to go to Gainesville the Clemson coaches talked him out of it.

They got Sammy Watkins; give us our share now.

How is that? we took two highly rated TE's last year. That why there were no TE';s on our list.

That's what i was thinking. What about Thompson and Taylor?

[g8r925]

Two real TE on a depth chart isn't depth, we need another true blocking TE like Thompson that can also catch, Taylor is great, but he is more of a pass catching TE, with Reed more than likely leaving early, we need more true TE talent on the roster instead of plugging in players from other positions.

[GATORAZ]

No we struck out on TE's this cylce, the staff really wants one this year, they were even thinking about offering some kid from Colorado. We need depth at the position. My guess is they will push hard for Smythe

I'll take your word and in that case I would "want" Smythe, Collins, Swanson. Think we're pretty full at WR unless somehow the bottom two decided on their own to go elsewhere. But other than that unlikely event, doesn't seem we can or should take another WR.

I think it would be an interesting discussion about how the staff is going to use all these WRs plus have a smash mouth downhill run game like we saw this year. Can Driskel get the ball to them... was the lack of pass game just because we need elite WRs or perhaps because Pease hasn't had time to develop Driskel and the pass scheme?

I am not sure they are. They had a visit scheduled so I assume they will still go.

Really? Better than Bailey? I think Bailey is going to be solid on returns, punts>KOs, and I think he is shifty enough to be good on jet sweeps, though not the pure speed. But Hines did better on jet sweeps than Debose even though Debose had better speed this year

Bailey can punt return not kick return IMO. Clark is better than Bailey because of his speed. Bailey is just not that fast he is very quick though. Hines is an explosive and powerful athlete.

Sitting at 24 right now, if we take a few more on D we take little room for offense, right, right? It's a "good problem to have" but this is a real head scratcher. Are there any players currently committed that possibly go elsewhere, by whatever means?

I think Smythe, Swanson, Collins would be huge.

We have 5DL, 3 solid-ass LBs, 3 stud safeties, 1 superb CB(one is enough this class I think).

Who else would you put on our defensive board that we need? Unless staff "misevaluated" some DL from last class we should be good. We're sitting on 12 DL 2012/2013. I can see another LB this class but feel we should take all of Swanson, Smythe, Collins if they would come, especially since we have been light on offensive players Boom's first two classes.

Can we go to 28?

I said a few days ago I think we are going to 28 or 29. SEC is a line of scrimmage league the staff loves getting DL. I think we will get a pass rusher they are just going recruiting too many not to land one. Staff would take Ramsey or Mack Alexander we could flip Shaq Wiggins but I doubt they do that.

I hear you but thinking "couldn't another concern our current committed DL?" Thirteen in two years is a full roster. Seems like it would start effecting our ability to recruit DL next classes. Staff's on a shopping spree and if the strategy is to have the ones who don't pan out move on it's another thing that recruits against us, although that's just something you sort out down the road.

Well, if we're really lucky I guess they'll be deciding who between a pass rusher, CB, LB(?), Swanson, Collins, TE. But that's a dream class and the number don't work out. I don't even see how we'll meet the 85 limit at 27+. I remember just a few months ago we seemed convinced the class might be around 22. Strange game.

If you can get premium Dl players you take them and worry about next year next year. Nobody from this years DL class is going anywhere they haven't even visited other school in recent months.

[gator07]

I don't even see how we'll meet the 85 limit at 27+. I remember just a few months ago we seemed convinced the class might be around 22. Strange game.

With the 13 departing seniors, we will have 21 available scholarships to get us up to 85. So to sign 27+ this year we would need 6+ to leave early for the NFL and/or transfer.

Robinson enrolling early means that we will fill all 9 slots available to be counted back toward the 2012 class, meaning technically this class could hold as many as 34 (25+9) if a sufficient number of players go to the NFL and/or transfer.

I would expect 2 to go pro and maybe 4 to transfer meaning 27 would be our limit for 2013 signees. The good thing about "only" signing 27, with 9 counting back towards 2012, is that 2013 will technically only have 18 signees meaning that 2014 could count 7 players back to the 2013 class.

[GATORAZ]

I am thinking 2-4 go pro and and 3-6 transfer or just decide to graduate.

[ETGator1]

I thought another JUCO DT was a possibility? Are we still on Cummings teammate at the Mississippi JUCO?

I am thinking 2-4 go pro and and 3-6 transfer or just decide to graduate.

Using your numbers then in 2013 we would have room for 26-31 signees.

I'm still fuzzy on the math, but ok. I just hope there's room to meet what the staff believes is our needs on defense and still have room for offense this cycle.

If Demarcus Robinson counts back to last class does that mean we are at 23 with room for four more to get to 27? What confuses me is my idea we are still after a DL, LB, CB on defense with the prospect of an incredible RB in Collins and FB in Swanson. But even then, that's only 28 and sounds like staff can work that number.

Any other EEs this class beside DRob?

I still find myself concerned about our ability to finish with guys like Mont Adams/E Daniel with our plethora of DL/DTs past two classes although I realize neither has been on board enough to slow down recruiting suitable DL and hold them a spot. But looking at georgia's class for example, they have a "juco" DT, a 54th ranked DT, and a couple medium ranked DEs so far. Seems like their class is tee'd up for Adams whereas our past two are filled with versatile DL. Perhaps unknown to me is the fact that Mont Adams has more or less signaled to staff, one way or the other, that he's a long shot.

[StrangeGator]

He just committed to Ole Miss. If we don't get Adams, it's unlikely we get another DT.

Yes there are 8 other EEs in this class which is perfect because the 2012 class has exactly nine open slots to be used by 2013 EEs, so we will be using all 9 of them (running back Kelvin Taylor, receiver Demarcus Robinson, JUCO offensive linemen Trenton Brown and Tyler Moore, JUCO defensive tackle Darious Cummings, defensive lineman Joey Ivie, linebackers Daniel McMillian and Matt Rolin and safety Marcell Harris).

If I am counting correctly, right now we have 25 2013 signees but since 9 are getting counted back to 2012, the 2013 class technically has only 16. And since you can sign up to 25 in each class, we could conceivable add 9 more for 34 total players brought in this year. However, before then you will run into trouble with the total team cap of 85 players (unless somehow many more players leave the program).

We have 21 open slots so we will sign 21 + N + T, where N = NFL early entrants, and T = transfers. So plug in your best guesses for N and T and thats probably how many we will sign (at a max of 34 which is the absolute most possible based on the per year limit).

We know it's unlikely and he'll probably sign with meyer but he is the top ranked candidate and he still lists Florida with medium interest. Stranger things have happened....

[MelBeachGator]

Zach, I know you're high on Collins right now, but D'Ernest Johnson is committed for next year. Is there that big of a talent gap between the two that we need 3 backs this class instead of waiting till next year?

You guys have to stop looking at a sites and ahtletes interest those things get updated only after interviews and that is just if the reporter thinks about doing it. Trey like Florida a lot but I believe the staff might like Jarrad more. They moved Trey's visit to Jan and brought Jarrad in this weekend.

I am not Zack but D'ernest is not committed to Florida. And yes there is a big difference in talent between the two. If you can get an elite player you take him and worry about next year next year.

Thanks!

if Jarran Davis does commit that will be 23 out of 26 commits from Georgia and Florida this class ( Moore Cummings originally from Florida)

[GatorDay2104]

That will be 6 from the state of Georgia. We're killing that state too.

We will do better in Georgia in the future with the addition of Joker Phillips. Really like the combination of Brain White Joker Phillips & CWM recruiting in Georgia.

Thoughts on Jarrad Davis? Looks like he's gonna be in this class.

He committed to Florida tonight!!!

[g8r925]

Well with the commit of Davis, what do you think about the rest of the possibilities for the remaining spots AZ

Dont think anything has really changed the same people are on the board. Staff has done a great job filling pretty much every need before the dead period.

Actually I don't. Maybe you should improve your reading comprehension....

Again, read the comment..........

"Mike list Florida as medium interest" where did he do this? Are you going off Scouts list? :awkward: Again those list are not updated.

Lol!! And Dee Johnson is a speed back, but undersized from what I understand correct? I think I read he's weighing in at like 175??

[gator1986]

Maybe 185 actually not 175... And what happened to him? I kept reading he was going to commit if offered... Did it never come through? I also heard he's running a 4.3 from someone is that true? If so a little Rainey type speed in the slot for four years won't hurt, or at the tailback position..

[g8r925]

D'ernest wants to come to florida, but I don't think the coaches have given him the green light yet, but as far as his speed, the kid has got speed, he ran a 4.44 and then 4.53 at one of Edgerrin's camps during the summer this past yr, and he is right at 187 lbs when he stepped on the scale at the field house just the other day.

what position is his brother going to play at cincy?

[g8r925]

They are recruiting him as a wr, and told him that there is a chance he could play QB if things shake out.

I wouldn't mind seeing D'ernest go to Cincy and play with his brother

[GATORAZ]

g8r925 when is MacKensie Alexander picking his school Army game or NSD?

[gator1986]

I wouldn't mind seeing D'ernest go to Cincy and play with his brother

Really? I would like to see him at Florida honestly... Just adding some speed like players with some power can only be a good thing... It's like shake and bake...

I dont think he has a ton of shake and bake he is a nice back but not sure he will get a commitable offer from any of the big 3 in Florida.

[GATORAZ]

My personal Board would be

1 Collins
2 DE
3 Smythe
4 DB

The staff's board probably is
1 DE
2 Ramesy Alexander Smythe Collins Tunsil Adams Treadwell...... Basically any top player left that wants to jump on board first

Down to our last 2 or 3 spots

[G8torsRUL]

Good info. Seems like I read that about Reed but forgot.

I'm starting to suspect you are the reincarnation of a very knowledgable poster who was kicked off the forums several months ago. Please don't piss off the mods. You are the current MVP (Most Valuable Poster).

Speaking of "he whose name cannot be spoken," why don't you take a crack at a final projected class.

Hmmm you might be right Strange.

Hope people dont take this as I am actually SU.
