Top Targets Left?

[Ahab]

Does this sound right?

Can you give us a general Top 10 board of who the staff wants most at this point in the recruiting process? — Lighty

This board could and likley will change over the next few months, but here are the Top 10 targets I think Florida has. This list consists of the highest-rated recruits at positions of need that have shown the interest in the Gators.

1. OT Laremy Tunsil
2. S Marcell Harris
3. DE DeMarcus Walker
4. CB Jalen Ramsey (USC commit)
5. WR Laquon Treadwell
6. CB Mackensie Alexander
7. WR Alvin Bailey
8. DE Ebenezer Ogundeko
9. OT Kenny Lacey
10. CB Shaq Wiggins (UGA commit)

[deep_threat]

Yes but I don't think we are really pursuing Ogundeko too hard

[stomp_and_chomp]

Does this sound right?

Not to me. Personally.


I think he has to put Tunsil up there.... we all should, he is the most coveted prospect left, rankings-wise. But I just don't see Tunsil coming here. I'm sure we'll continue to recruit up to NSD, though.

I also don't agree with Treadwell or Alexander being on his list..... And how are they ranked higher than Ogundeko, Bailey and Lacy???

To me, Treadwell's name is being tossed around.... but that's if Bailey doesn't come here. And now with a committable offer and Matt Jones calling him on the reg.... I can definitely see Bailey committing here.

Alexander... I don't think we have a chance really.... Do we have to take his brother?? (Mackenro decommitted from FSU weeks ago). We have too much going on to bring Alexander in, imho. Jalen Ramsey is a smarter pick-up.... If we didn't get VH3, then maybe Alexander would be that guy we all want... Well, not maybe, he would be. But we have VH3... And really, I don't see Alexander going anywhere other than a place where he would be a day 1 starter... and they'd have to be willing to give up another scholly for his brother. A few schools come to mind, a couple in the SEC and a few who are not.

There isn't much left out there for us, but in a very good way. I can't even think of 2 people to replace the 2 guys on Zach's list. Maybe Alex Anzalone as a sleeper? Maybe another unnamed LB? I really don't know. I am sure that more names will surface when the HS season starts. I just don't think that adding a couple of names to a top 10 list for the sake of having a top 10 list is very informative. And I also can't get over how 7-9 aren't ranked higher up on the list.

Also, I thought we were out of it for Ogundeko when Sherit committed, but I guess a little insurance for the DL in case we don't get Walker is nice. But I think that even if we did get Walker, we will still try to pull Ogundeko... Give this kid the 4th LB spot and plop him on the DL. He is a Beast.

[Gatorules]

Walker still annoucing August 24th?

[StrangeGator]

1. Tunsil
Of course. Just because UGA leads doesn't make him any less than our top remaining prospect.

2. Harris
He's certainly high up there, but when you've bagged as many high caliber DBs as we have, getting the fourth or fifth one in place doesn't seem so important. Then again, he's a legacy, he's got a great frame and he's one of the best left on the board.

3. Walker
We've got how many DEs now? Never mind. He's one of the best players at any position left on the board and I think he ends up at DT.

4. Ramsey
Sure, or someone else just as good.

5. Treadwell
Great prospect with no remote interest in UF. Let's put another WR in this spot, like maybe Foster, whose had UF on his list for months.

6. Alexander
Don't think it would happen, but if it does, he's the guy just as good as Ramsey

7. Bailey
Not sure he's the next best WR on the board, but the coaches seem to like him and have invested a lot of time in building a relationship.

8. Ogundeko
Liked this kid from the beginning, but we are loaded at DE now. Let's keep him on a tight leash in case one of our DEs fails to do something the coaches are expecting him do to. I like NYC kids.

9. Lacey
Nice upgrade from Rod Johnson. Do we have a decent shot?

10. Wiggins
Love to see us keep things going at Sandy Creek HS, but I don't know if this list needs three CBs when we still have needs at DT, OLB, TE and Safety.

Other prospects I would have included;
McQuay, Griffin, Coley (pipe dream, I know)

Not many LBs left. No TEs left. Good thing we're almost full. The board is almost empty.

[GATORAZ]

I put this in another thread

DE/DT

Gilmore- likes LSU a lot they lead his family does like Florida he will take a official here
Walker - it is 50/50 with Alabama
Ogundeko- Coaches are still pursing him
Bostwick-Florida will continue to recruit
Kieth Bryant- Miami commit could also be an option

We might look to JUCO for another DT

Deneson- we are not going to flip him unless we lose another OL he is an inside guy and we already have 3

WR
Bailey- might not be a lock I still need to write about the Bailey situation will do that this weekend
Treadwell- we might not even get a visit
MarQuez North- Florida will continue to recruit
Demarcus Robinson- Florida will continue to recruit

S
Harris- is the only safety on the baord it is between us and Texas and by no means is he a lock for us

Tahaan Goodman- from Cali has mentioned wanting to visit you never know the coaches might say ok if we miss on Harris


CB- Ramsey- has talked to the coaches and got his offer but thats it. He is teamates with Max and his family has Gator fans so that should help but right now he is committed to USC

Alexander- is looking at a lot of schools dont be shocked if he picks Clemson or South Carolina but I believe we are still in it

Shaq Wiggins (UGA commit) will officail vist here right now he is 100 percent Georgia. But if Tray Mathews flips to Auburn then I think there is a real shot at flipping Shaq

Gators also like a few Cal commits form Georgia at the CB position.
we should add another corner just dont know who it will be yet

OL
Kenny Lacey form Arizona might visit
Tunsil - we wont give up to the end but I wont get my hopes up
Tyre Moore- the Nebraska transfer would be the biggest get. I would take him over Tunsil Moore is proven and we have seen 5 star OL bust before

JUCO's and later bloomers will pop up on the board as well

TE- coaches still want one in this class they will still pursue the JUCO Sandland
they will also monitor players like Shaquille Johnson

[gatorfan12]

Demarcus Walker: Im really feeling orange and white lately. Knoxville might need to make some room for me.

I HIGHLY doubt UT is actually a serious option for him. JMO

When did Auburn get in the mix? They are stock piling talent on the defensive front 4 and middle linebacker position. They are leadin for Montravious Adams, they have Dee Liner, and Carl Lawson at the weak side, and Tashon Bower looks great at SSDE. Reuben Foster and Trey Johnson are two of the best middle linebacker prospects. Do they need another DT/SSDE in Demarcus Walker seeing as they are already stacked in the front 5?
I don't want to play auburn in a couple of years until the SEC championship for sure.

He doesn't seem to be interested in this conversation. These are questions you ask after he wins a game... He may be more forthcoming

[CSpantheGatorFan]

My personal top 10 for the Gators would look like this. We are on the outside looking in for a lot of these prospects, but these are still who I would prefer.

1. Laremy Tunsil- Really needs no explanation. Best OT in the country and is right in our backyard.

2. Elijah Daniel- I read that we are still recruiting him and he was very close to Bryant Young early in the process. We need a Buck as Fowler may be outgrowing the position soon and there is little depth there after that. Very important position for this defense and Daniel has always been my number 1 at that spot outside of perhaps Carl Lawson who we aren't getting.

3. Demarcus Walker- Would be a huge get in terms of momentum for this class and in terms of building depth at DE. Would help to further re-establish ourselves in Jacksonville and would give Muschamp a recruiting win over Saban.

4. Marcell Harris- In-state legacy who has always been one of the top players on our board. He would really help solidify a very important position (Strong or Right Safety) for the foreseeable future.

5. Marquez North- He says Florida and Carolina (Not sure if UNC or USCe) are recruiting him the hardest and he is still undecided on where he will be visiting. Seems very open and I really hope we can be a factor in his recruitment. We desperately need WRs and he is the freakiest in this class from an athletic standpoint IMO.

6. Demarcus Robinson- Like Daniel, we are still recruiting him and we were I believe his leader early in the process. If a few WRs can have a good season this year on the field and we do well in general, perhaps we can at least give him something to think about. We need WRs.

7. Mackensie Alexander- Can't believe I have him at #7 as he may be the more talented than anyone else on this list. A VH3 and Mackensie Alexander pair of CBs would do wonders for this or any defense. I hope we can smooth over and VH3/MA tension (Like we did with Howard/Poole last year) and make a run at him. We are very much in with Alexander I believe.

8. Keith Bryant- My personal top DT left on the board and it seems that we have a pretty decent chance to flip him from what I understand.

9. Alex Anzalone- I still think another LB wouldn't be a bad idea in this class. We only have 3 and haven't had a ton of luck there the previous two years. He attended FNL and have heard rumblings that we are still in it for him despite committing to two schools already.

10. Beau Sandland- Absolute beast of a TE which is more of an issue now with Leonard gone. JUCO though and it is entirely possible we only get one year if we were to land him.

Just my personal opinion.

[GATORAZ]

for me the list is

1. North- we need a big play WR so bad and that kid has it. Right now we have no consistent game breakers on the team or committed. (I would take Robinson or Treadwell here as well but our best shot is with North and he is probably the best out of the group)

2. Walker/ Gilmore- just give me one of the two

3. Alexander/ Ramsey Wiggins- 1 of the 3 dont care which

I would add:
4. Tyler Moore (transfer), or another big ugly with talent Tunsil, Lacy, Denson, Fennel, etc. I don't think it matters if they are a guard or tackle just as long as we get talent and depth along the line. Heck I'll even take another sleeper like Octavius Jackson as long as he had good upside. In two seasons, we will lose the majority of our o line

[g8r925]

Just a little tidbit, Alexander is not as much a longshot as many may think, I've heard from some of the coaches here at IHS that he isn't as much locked into playing with his brother anymore. If I had to call it today it would be us, but we'll have to see, USF is looking at Mackenro, and Tshambi and Xavier are already committed to play for the bulls.

As for the rest of the spots left, hopefully we can get some quality guys. Who? Time will tell.

[Nicho]

Demarcus Walker recently tweeted about losing some weight (intentionally). I hate to say it, but to me that suggests he is going to Bama to play the Jack (their version of Buck) position in Saban's D. I haven't heard about UF recruiting him anywhere other than the DL, and I wouldn't expect him to be trying to shed weight for that. Admittedly, I'm reading into things quite a bit, so we'll see.

[LAGatorDoc]

One thing about Tyler Moore, not that he was the only person that it happened to, but Clowney put a clinic on him and the rest of the tackles in the Nebraska/USC capital one bowl last year... Saw the rerun on ESPNU a few days ago. But a least he got that experience I guess

I hate to say it but that is exactly what I thought when I read the same tweet, also he and Derrick Henry are hanging out an awful lot. Which its been thought that Henry will end up a Bama as well.

Seeing as we have Garcia and Humphries, what are our chances of getting Moore, let's say even if he wants to stay in state and not go back to Nebraska. He was starting LT there... Would we convert one of the others to RT?

[LAGatorDoc]

He's probably not afraid of some friendly competition... Unlike Tunsil who may just want the easy way out and not have to work for it against another stud.

They want to move Garcia inside to guard so I am still going to say a little over 50 percent we get Moore.

I think him or North opposite of Fulwood would be great. Maybe this would put a little pressure on North to think about where he is going at least... Nah I don't think it well. He really didn't seem to care at his last interview. I think Treadwell has better hands but North may have a slightly better big play ability.

Have always heard terrific things about Austin and UT. Certainly he might want to be a Gator in the end but aside from the great city that Austin is UTex has room for another safety having five in latest three classes versus our seven.

[StrangeGator]

I loved it and wanted to move there badly, but visiting the campus is a different experience. I don't know that it's so distinct from Gainesville that high school players fall in love with it the same way.

FWIW, it's not my favorite city by a long shot. Once you get away from the older part of the city, it's just like Atlanta or Charlotte. Burbs are burbs. If anything, Austin's burbs might be more boring.

[Gator_in_TX]

I live in the Austin suburbs and like it quite a bit. As far as UT goes it's in a great location and near one of the more popular party districts in the country. They have great facilities and obviusly spare no expense. One thing UF has going for it is that I think his grandma still lives in Gainesville. I am not 100% certain on that.

It is intersting that UT has started to recruit Florida more than they used to (at least recently). They went after Nelson A. last year quite hard and now Harris. It also seems like we are actually recruiting Texas less than even when Meyer was here. We pulled in a few kids from Texas during his tenure. I would have thought Muschamp would have recruited Texas more than he has with his conncections in the state. Maybe he has but it hasn't yielded anything yet.

CWM understands that location is one of the big keys in getting recruits to pick a school. If a kid is a phenomenal player or has a connection to Florida they will go after him but he would like to recruit Florida and Georgia for the most part because of location. There is really no need to go into Texas. Expect Alabama and LSU to be more active in Texas now that Texas A & M is in the SEC.

After seeing our game and UGA, I don't understand how elite o lineman can think they're better off going to the dawgs then the good guys. They're o line came together much better than ours (even though they had some problems). Ours is guaranteed quality early playing time.

Now back to the recruiting after seeing where we struggled and the awesome pick up of Bailey, I think we need two more o linemen, two more d linemen, and one more playmaker (whether it be Sandland - a true nonconverted tight end or Treadwell). Then I think one more secondary member, if we can take 25, either Harris or a CB. If we can't get two more d linemen, I would get anither linebacker, because our linebackers didn't look as stout as I thought they would be.

I agree that we ran the ball well. But I think we need two more tackles for depth purposes. Yes buffalo is bad, and UGA had better play calling, i just think it would be easier for a new o line recruit to get playing time for us early on then for UGA. Just my opinion. If we can get Tyler Moore and Brown or Tunsil, our recruiting class will be sick

Moore wasnt going to start on Nebraska this year but he would be a nice addition. I think we get one of the 3 and another high school OR JUCO guard which is what we need.

Shaq Wiggins is just one of those talkative kids that gives maxim effort that people like. He also is very good in coverage I am not worried about his height.

I would assume it's because we're out of the running. Hard to imagine we wouldn't want him unless the coaches have decided not to pursue any more LBs.

So Moore losing his starting job... Is that the reason he left Nebraska this fall? I sometimes have trouble reading between the lines.

Sounds like if we can get Wiggins we would have two leaders on defense in the class. Hargreaves, the quiet leader and Wiggins the vocal motivating type of leader... Interesting

[StrangeGator]

Dont think we ever went hard after him. Why would it be hard to imagine?

why because he has a good SPARK? Other kids were higher on the board coaches are still recruiting some people at LB and BUCK I dont think it is some huge need we have to fill though

Not a huge need makes sense, but I don't see a lot of uncommitted quality players at those positions. Ogundeko is the only one that we seem to have any chance with.

Gators have a good shot at Ogundeko still working on Anzalone they could probably flip Stevenson from FSU if they wanted him.

[DieAGator]

they could probably flip Stevenson from FSU if they wanted him.

Then they should.

from Scout:

"Stevenson is an explosive linebacker recruit that can play inside or outside. He's sound and physical. He can play in space or in traffic. Stevenson has the speed to chase plays down and play sideline to sideline. He's also pretty adept at shedding blocks inside and finding the ball. Stevenson can also fill the hole nicely and make big plays behind the line of scrimmage. He does a nice job of read, recognition and then reacting quickly."

Why wait? IF they could flip him it would hurt fsu, should help us.

[GATORAZ]

Then they should.

he waited for a Florida offer for awhile and it never came so he committed to FSU. Florida passed on a lot of good players this year. Many will play for our rivals.

[oldgator]

you can get a good idea of who our remaining targets are from the following sources
---AS's posts
---the Rivals, ESPB, 247 database in regard to UF offers. Simply look at who we have extended offers to and for the most part the players who are still uncommitted are targets somewhere on our board. There are a fair number of recruits committed to other schools who we are still actively recruiting so include them as well
---as to the likelihood of UF getting commits from uncommitted recruits I've found 247's database pretty good in assessing likelihood of recruits committing to the various schools(including UF0. One caveat is that recruits who decommitted from UF are for the most part listed by 247 as 'highly interested in UF) though that may or may not be accurate. They are simply doing that because the recruits really haven't given any clue of who they are 9interested in now that they decommitted from UF.

least accurate sources for info as to recruits likely to commit to one school or another
---Rivals articles...the articles tend to be very biased for one school or another depending on who the writer happens to be
---ESPN website and recruiting show on TV. They provide the best assessment in regards to talent level of recruits(rankings) as well as strengths and weaknesses of the recruits. But their info is minimal ass to the likelihood of committing to one school or another. Though if anything, ESPN is tending to be biased right now in favor of USCw, Bama, Mich in their recruiting commentary
---anything from Whorecramps, especially Dorothy
---the national recruiting message boards. there may be good stuff posted but it is pretty much buried beneath homeristic wishful thinking

[StrangeGator]

---as to the likelihood of UF getting commits from uncommitted recruits I've found 247's database pretty good in assessing likelihood of recruits committing to the various schools(including UF0.

I was looking primarily at 247's list, but also Rivals and espn, and there just aren't many uncommitted OLBs and DEs. Ogundeko and Mitchell are the only ones that stand out and Mitchell appears to be leaning towards OSU now. I'd take both those guys in a heartbeat.

Saw a rumor on Nuttin' but Net that the Mitchells might be moving to Winter Park. Maybe that's how the interest in UF started. Looks like Billy will be gunning hard after the little brother for the class of 2015. He's a consensus top 10 prospect.

OT update

Former Nebraska OT Tyre Moore has Florida and FSU ahead of Nebraska now. He really enjoyed his visit to the swamp last week. He will visit FSU the weknd they play Wake.

Right now its only a matter of time before JUCO OL Trenton Brown decommits from Georgia. Brown also really enjoyed his visit to the swamp last weekend.


OT Roderick Johnson who decommitted from Florida is still considering joining the Gators. The teams that are standing out to him Auburn,West Virginia , Florida State and Florida.

He is G why would we move him to OT? Moore might be the best linemen out of the bunch he played as a freshmen at Nebraska. He was not going to start this year but was going to play a lot. I really like how our O line is going to look next year.

[DieAGator]

He is G why would we move him to OT?
Because he was an OT in HS and OT is where we might need the most help after our SRs leave.

WR update. First I see people on the board thinking that Bailey and Fulwood are going to come in an make an instant impact. From the film I have seen I dont see it. I can not see them beating out any of the guys we already have on the roster. I am not saying they wont be great Gators I just think they will need some work once they get in college. Neither one of them is an early enrolle so it will be hard for them to even break in the rotation.

Maquez North will be taking an unofficial to to UT vs Florida game he has interest in both teams. The places he is looking to take officials are Florida, Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Tennessee. That however is not his full list of teams he likes. North was just at North Carolina a few weeks ago and likes where the program is headed. North also was high on Clemson until they got two big WR commits.

North will have to start taking officials soon because his father has made the decision that Marquez will enroll early. Marquez father played college football and briefly in the NFL. I could see North getting on the field early. Here are some early season high lights.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfKXeGAsS18

The other WR recruit is Treadwell. It is still up in the air if he will take an official here. Dont be shocked or get too overly excited if the coaches to go watch a game of his probably on the off week. Florida is still a long shot for his services.

I think we have a chance to be special next year so I would love for us to finish the class with people that can come in and help immediately not saying we get these guys but this is who I want to finish out the class now-

North or Treadwell
Gilmore
Harris

[stomp_and_chomp]

OL's:

Kenny Lacy - Gave a soft pledge to UCLA 3 days ago.
Rod Johnson - More than likely will not end back up at FL
Trenton Brown - Our best shot, atm
Ira Denson - Needs to be flipped
David Dawson - Maybe he'll decide to visit because Michigan isn't having a good season
Josh Outlaw - More than likely will not end back up at FL

Not counting those guys, and not counting the SR's leaving.... that leaves us with DJ Humprhies, Dunker, Thurman, Jordan, Max Garcia, Silberman, Koehne, Harrison, Halapio.... Plus we might get Tyler Moore??

I think we are fine at OL, personally. We have 2 committed right now, 1 more OT and 1 more Inside OL with a possibility to take the best available OL come NSD.

I think we are fine here, hehe. The arguement that we are DRASTICALLY in need of OL is so last spring...

edit: btw, to the poster who wanted Dunker to move to the outisde.... why?? We'll have less OG's/OC's than we do OT's come the end of the season.

[GATORAZ]

The Dunker outside thing was ridiculous.

Johnson is just interesting I think there is a shot he is back with Florida

While the flipping Ira would be hilarious for the FSU reaction just seems like the Gator coaches dont want him.

I think we will take two OL stomp you are right when you actually look at the numbers we are fine at OL. Especially since we will get Brown or Moore maybe both. If we miss on both which I dont see happening we will take another JUCO.

[stomp_and_chomp]

Well, I think Denson will be the NSD surprise. We don't want him YET, because we still have guys on our board who are not committed.... Wait until all those guys have pledged somewhere and we'll be all over Denson.

If he wasn't committed to FSU at this point, we would more than likely be recruiting him more so than some of the others.

I think if Rod Johnson commits to FSU, this will speed up the process.... because, again, we didn't hear anything about Denson wanting to flip until Rod Johnson was going to commit to FSU.

But I also put some stock into that story posted on here where someone saw Denson in Gator gear... That's pretty believable. If Denson wants to play at UF, then he'll see some early time because we need a couple of good inside guys... But FSU is stacked deep with OL.... I kinda feel like this is it for him - as in, he see's that.

[GATORAZ]

Denson has wanted to be a Gator for awhile even before the Johnson decommit. I am just not sure its going to happen. It will be interesting to see what Johnson does once Greg Bryant makes a decision.

[GATORAZ]

If we some how win 9 or 10 games this year (still have my doubts sticking with 7-8 right now) next years class will be epic. Basically if CWM is not on the hot seat 2014 class will be historic.

[stomp_and_chomp]

If we some how win 9 or 10 games this year (still have my doubts sticking with 7-8 right now) next years class will be epic. Basically if CWM is not on the hot seat 2014 class will be historic.

True. But that's still a whole season and recruiting cycle away. I am more concerned with the here and now. This class is more or less done. We have more than a handful of guys left and we'll get about a handful.

The highest ranked player we have a shot at is Jalen Ramsey, and if USC does hang on to him, the next logical choice for us would be Leon MacQuay III. Gotta say that's a win/win. Marcell Harris always has a spot regardless. That's an epic DB class with with either MacQuay or Ramsey.

We can close LB's. There's not really a need. Although, if the opportunity presented itself, I am sure we'll try to jump on it. The staff seem's hell-bent on adding another LB for depth. Anzalone was a surprise visit for FNL and his dad is an alumnus. I wouldn't turn the page on him until NSD is here and done.

We need more DLinemen. Caleb Brantley is a must keep. With all the stuff going on with him up until now, that's something to be worried about. Greg Gilmore would be a nice addition. Montravius Adams would, obviously, be the biggest pull, but he is leaning elsewhere... tho, if Clemson has a dull season, we could be in it. Ivey, Sherit and Riles are a GREAT group of DE's. Adding 1 more would be nice, be it BUCK, DE or DT. Ogundeko is the path I would go down. He has the size to go either way... as in, he could stick at DE/Buck... but if he trimmed down a bit he could easily play LB. So I think the versatility is there with him.... same as Elijah Daniel (who I recently read we are still in contact with, regardless of his commit).

David Dawson (as I am writing this) was added by the Pouncey's on twitter.... and Dawson is ecstatic. Gotta give it up to guys like the Pouncey's and Joe Haden... they continue to help out the program... going to camps, putting UF out there, helping us recruit guys to make UF better. We need more guys like that, FOR SURE. I wouldn't count out Dawson AT ALL. Had Michigan beaten Alabama, then Dawson wouldn't be on my mind... all those commits would be so hyped.... but they lost. And now they are disenchanted... Why play for Michigan when a kid has a couple of offers from the BEST SEC schools??

Kenny Lacy to UCLA a couple of days ago. I dunno what to do here. I would still give him an offer and plan a visit... Doesn't hurt. If he is still taking visits, then I think we can swing him over here.

Denson is the NSD surprise. Book it. I am all in... this kid will be a Gator.

Eddie Printz was dropped from UCLA. PLEASE PLEASE Gator fans... don't start making threads about how we need this guy. We don't. Stick to the Staver Wagon. Printz has been committed to like, what?, 3-4 schools? And now he has been dropped.... RED FLAG. Staver already has a strong relationship with all of our commits and he may be the key to landing Ramsey.

WR's, I would think are done. Never know tho. Marquez North, I think at this point, has sailed. He may visit, sure, but that's about all. We have too much for him to come here this late. I want to say the same for Treadwell, but I think he has more interest in UF than North does.... although, it's not by much. Both of these guys are a hot commodity. Every school in the nation could use another top notch, highly rated WR.... EXCEPT UF... who already has 4 highly rated top notch WR's. Admittedly though, I have no idea what the coaches want here... this position has been shady because of our new OC... and the fact that we have been very upfront about what we want at other positions the whole year (more or less) and not with WR's... then I don't know.

RB's are done. Epic done. Taylor is the back of the future... Lane will have some things to contribute as well. These two guys with Matt Jones and an older Hunter Joyer is going to be sick.

I am sure more names will appear from nowhere when the HS season is over and I am sure some names that we have been recruiting will resurface.

[GATORAZ]

North is friends with Humpries so if he visits we will still be in it. Even though I think other teams are probably ahead of us.

Treadwell has not decided if he is even going to visit Florida yet right? We know he will visit schools like Oklahoma Oklahoma state Michigan. I think we might have a better shot at North, only time will tell.


I like Taylor and Lane and think both will contribute as freshmen. The RB gem is in the 2014 class if we get our two top guys in that class watch out.

Alex might visit for LSU game. You boy Kieth Kelsey still has not committed anywhere.


Dawson would have flipped if he had took his visit to FNL but man did he have a good time at the Michigan BBQ. He still talks to the coaches so we will see what happens.

I find it hard to believe Florida can and will get back into the MacQuay race. Its more Ramsey or Wiggins than MacQuay.

I thought they might wait for an off week to go so far away but Bush Hamdan is visiting Treadwell's school today

Call me crazy but I'd trade Harris for Ramsey any day. Harris is good but I fear he is the next josh Evans. And besides I saw Brian Poole was getting work at safety and we have 2 already committed in 2013 to go along with the 2 we signed last class. We're fine at safety. To me, Ramsey and really wiggins both are no brainer takes at this point. It would be perfect to snag them both

Josh Evans is a 2 year starter and leads the team in tackles not sure why you would not want a player like that. Nick Washington can play corner or safety.

Poole is at safety because we are loaded at corner and the coaches thought that was the quickest way to get him in the rotation. Poole will probably play both throughout his career at Florida. Harris allows you to play more nickle because of his size.

I would only take one more corner in this class remember we already have the best corner commit in the country VH3.

Evans looks and plays better than he did last year but I still don't think he's great. He's an above average tackler but watching him in coverage sometimes I hold my breathe waiting for him to screw up. That's the only thing I have against him. But I'm glad he plays for us nonetheless. Everybody had weaknesses.

Now if Poole is playing safety that doesn't mean we're loaded at corner. Watkins and riggs are juniors and Purifoy and Roberson are sophs. Next year when those 2 are seniors it would be nice to have VHIII, Ramsey and possibly Washington waiting in the wings and maybe redshirting 2 of them, so the following year we had talent with every corner, Roberson, Purifoy, Ramsey, VHIII and Washington. I was looking way ahead into the future there but you see my point

We have a lot of flexibility at DB I am not really worried. Willie Bailey is on the team as well. I expect Roberson or Purifoy to go pro after their Jr year but we will be fine. Every year the staff will get a top 10 corner and safety.

The staff really likes Harris and you have to trust CWM eye for talent in the secondary.

[Ahab]

Purifoy will be lucky to hold onto his starting job. He's not going pro early.

right now we have 4 commits all different skill sets. One might step up the other will probably either redshirt or play very little on offense. The current team is only losing Hammons this year.

Now if Treadwell or North decided to be apart of this class odd are they will be the one freshmen WR to get on the field early.

I also like the 2014 class of Wr's.

While I think Watkins should play more I get why Purifoy is playing so much. During camp CWM said if a younger guy is going to be better than and older guy by the middle of the season might as well play the younger guy now. I expect both Roberson and Purifoy to take another big jump next season

So is Fullwood no longer considered a major recruiting coup? We were all drooling over him when we thought he was going to end up at Bama. He looks as good as North to me and almost as good as Treadwell, plus he's faster than both.

Regarding WRs, any chance Coley goes JUCO or prep school? If he does, shouldn't we get back on him?

The 2010 class was filled with stellar high school receivers, but Dunkley, Clark, and Coxson all transferred. Patton and Dunbar are doing okay.

The 2010 class was filled with stellar high school receivers, but Dunkley, Clark, and Coxson all transferred. Patton and Dunbar are doing okay.

Forgot about the 2010 class & all the transfers afterwards (was really excited about dunkley). I like how the staff is using Patton within the offense. Dunbar has flashed on my screen a few times in all 3 games (his blocking has been key in either big runs or YAC). Really wondering what's going on with Kent Taylor, from reports he was doing well (I know, preseason/camp), but he's 6'5" & pretty athletic. Unless he's dealing with injuries.

[DieAGator]

So is Fullwood no longer considered a major recruiting coup?


Didn't mean it that way. If I were a top WR he's the only one in the class that would worry me and since single WR sets are virtually non existentI would expect to play alongside Ahmad. A major league WR prospect would believe he's going to be one of the top two WRs from this class even though we all hope Chris Thompson and Alvin Bailey turn out to be phenomenal.

Anyone know how solid Marqui Hawkins is?

Hawkins has good size and he ran a 4.81 40 at a combine with a hammy injury. So I'd say he's fast at full strength. He's got great ball skills, most schools that recruited him wanted him at safety for that reason. Having him, fulwood, bailey and Thompson in this class is some serious firepower we haven't had in a while. They're all good players and the best part their skill sets all appear to be different

We have 3 DTs, hard to take another I would think, although KG is a top DT. Does this signal UGA getting good vibes from another DT, Mont Adams perhaps?

Brantley is a pure DT, but Riles and Ivey are tweeners. I think we'd take another DT as one of those guys will probably play SSDE. We need another 280 plus type, better yet, someone who can play NT. We lost a big DT in the last class and the only other incoming freshman moved to offense. We only have Jacobs for one more year. Floyd and Easley could both be gone by next fall.

I am pretty confident we would take another DT or DE. Gilmore is visiting this weekend and we are still going after Walker and Bostwick. Ivey and Riles will probably grow into DT so the staff is not panicking but they would like to take another top talent on the Dline,

Georgia already has 3 DT in this class and they also have Adams and a big JUCO on their board I think its crazy not to take Griffin right now but maybe he will wait. They also said no to Riles earlier in the year.

Nobody will really know why Georgia told him no until Monday when he talks to the staff again.

I think these next couple games will be statement games for the recruits we need...were not the same team we were the last couple years. A couple top notch d lineman for us is crucial on my opinion.

I expect it to be mostly class of 2014 prospects. Not a lot of spots left for '13and the coaches seem to be shifting some focus to the next class. Having a small group of '13 prospects will allow the coaches more quality time with each one. That would give us a better chance of closing on a couple of them.

I agree and said that in another thread. However, he did notice that we don't have any big receivers, and saw that our receivers weren't getting open quick enough (I read it in an article somewhere his father mentioned that), so he definitely saw early playing time here... I think we have to see if we can open up the passing game in the next few games, at least to Reed, who is a bigger receiver... We may have an outside shot, a glimmer of hope, more like a flicker.

Our passing game or pretty much the lack of, could hurt our WR recruiting a little.

[DieAGator]

I'm thinking it comes down to staff gaining trust and proving they really want to have a lethal pass game but explain or show recruits how they just haven't had the pieces they need. Recruits aren't likely to believe Driskell is a hand off/run QB and that's the way the staff wants it to be. I believe they truly want to throw the ball, just haven't been able to put it together with personnel yet.

Not even close Reed is a much bigger threat to go to the NFL than Trey. Reed has a position unlike Trey.

He's a great receiver, but I haven't really stayed caught up on his TE fundamentals. Blocking, etc. Reed's got 1.5 seasons under his belt as a TE. Aaron Hernandez left as a junior, and went in the 4th round. I'm not sure if there were other reasons behind it, but he was a very great TE, but was drafted relatively low. If Reed were playing at AH's level, I'd say he goes pro. But for now, I figured he was a lock to return.

And correct, Trey Burton isn't going pro. At least not til after his senior season. Do we have another jack of all trades-type of guy being recruited/committed to us?

Failed a drug test. Admitted to marijuana. His draft stock dropped.

Edit: He also won the John Mackey award the year he left. Chico has talent for sure...

they are not going to recruit guys like Burton or Hines if someones turns into that they will use them. Right now the offensive staff is using what they have best it is not what they want. They want to be constructed like Alabama.

Hernandez went in the 4th round not because of talent but because of off the field issues. How often do you see guys like Hernandez block?

Reed definitely has the talent to go; there's no questioning that. It would just seem odd for him to go so early with him being new to to the position. Never say never though.

The defense is not really going to change. On O they want a really big Oline thats why you see the staff saying no to guys like Crowder. RB's they want a stable of guys that can run between the tackles and like 1 speed back that's elite.

Basically the staff wants to run the ball well then play action deep to tall WR's. Just watch a Alabama game they run with Lacy & Yeldon then throw down the field to Cooper (a Florida kid). It seems as though they want a QB that is a threat to run but not your typical "dual threat" guy ie Denard Robinson.

[Itssaul]

Do you guys see us picking up a speedy back a la Rainey style to play WR and some RB. It doesn't fit muschamps mold, but I know for sure pease would LoVE to have one guy that runs a 4.28 40 or a track guy for the sweeps we run. He'd be a threat no matter where we are. Sure stick with Jones and our big backs for everydown, but we could always use a guy like that. Sure he'd be a track star but we wouldn't try to run him in between tackles. No way in hell.

I think Jacoby will leave there is no reason to stay. His High school coach's comments makes it seem like he will leave as well. If Driskel gets hurt and then Starver is chosen as the QB I just might not watch the rest of the season next year. So yes I expect Skylar to play

Footwork is something that can be taken for granted (by somebody regular like me), but it really is important. I guess Tyler Murphy is kind of in limbo right now? He's somebody I really wish could play. Not necessarily at QB, but he's athletic, he's a team guy, and he just seems like a good person. I probably look at players too personally.

he is not going to see the significant playing time at WR. Meyer and Daz should have found better QB's than Tyler and Jordan in back to back years but its hard when you had Tebow & Brantley on the team. Those guys just play against terrible comp in high school the learning curve was huge at the next level. Jordan had all the physical ability to be a force at the QB position. CWM was just putting things on film for Georgia to have to worry about. You have to get an elite QB every 3 years that's why 2014 is so important.

Doubt that happens and there is no need you have Skylar, Max & Jacoby Guy a 3 star walk on and then Will Grier or Wade Freebeck if they miss on Grier.

Looked up Will Grier and he seems to have average height/weight at 6'3, 185. Hope he puts on some weight, I'm getting to like big durable QBs.

Florida had to take a QB and Asiantii Woulard whole family was mad he was like the 8th choice, so Florida really had no choice but to take Max. I think Max might be able to turn into a good football player but his footwork is terrible which is weird because he has had QB coaches for like 4 years. Max has a great arm though and he will work hard. Pease needs to close the deal on Will Grier there are no excuses.

Why didn't we go after that Zach Bralee (spelling) who rocked at those QB camps. Isn't he going to San Jose St? We are surely better than one of those weird state schools

Zack Greenlee the kid who committed to Fresno State because his only offer was from Fresno state? I think that offer list says a lot. Not sure that he has the arm to push the ball down the field like we want either.

@ZachAbolverdi
Someone close to Marcell Harris just told me he's talking about visiting #OhioSt for last official and then announcing at Under Armour Game.

Hrmmm, Not sure how I feel about all this. I love Urb's, but I am starting to loathe Ohio St Urban Meyer.

Soooo..... Not only did Ohio St get in Hearn's head, they also got in mine by making me wait until after freakin' New Years for this kid to sign somewhere.

Gotta look on the bright-side I guess, with how things are going we would flip kids from other programs to replace any kids that may stray from the good Gator path.

It's amazing that his name still holds value after he's proven how uncommitted he can be. I think that kept Stephon Diggs from OSU
