UGA commit officially visiting UF for Bowling Green
by Zach Abolverdi
Florida usually doesn’t have big prospects officially visit for season openers, but you don’t turn away Trenton Brown.
And he’s huge — literally and figuratively.
The 6-foot-8, 350-pound JUCO offensive lineman confirmed to the Sun that he will be on hand for the game against Bowling Green.

Since Mann moving to the O line, if we got this kid with his size he could play D tackle and be a boulder in the middle. Just an idea. Having a 6'8" 350 lb D lineman sounds good to me

Just guessing but it seems that since Tunsil is leaning heavily to UGA we might be going after Brown as our LT prospect. People may know more than me but if Tunsil is not coming to UF we might as well go after a great LT. Brown fits the bill size wise at least...Hope he can play as big as his size...

I don't know chit about recruiting,but it would seem to me,we never had Tunsil,to begin with. That being said, he's likely headed to GA,so it would even out the sting,by pulling the old,snatch and grab from them.GEORGIA SUCKS

Seems like if we seem know Tunsil is UGA bound then Brown may know as well. I wonder what position they both want to play? Maybe Richt is developing a 2 LT scheme?

what happen was Brown committed to Georgia but was still going to look around. Then a few weeks ago Tunsil was asked if he had a problem with Georgia taking Browns commitment Tunsil said, "no because the staff told him they were thinking about putting Brown at guard". Brown hears this and of course is not to happy about it he is adamant that he wants nothing to do with guard and sees himself as a tackle. These guys are going to have to compete wherever they go. Chaz Green is a sophomore and will play a lot of tackle this year.

A guy of his size is a little too big for guard. The shorter DTs can get under him leverage wise, and it would make it more difficult to open up running lanes in tight situations. Man, coaches will tell a kid anything to get him to commit

Georgia has huge OL's they are typically bigger than like half the NFL I would not put it past them trying to play a guy Browns size at guard. Octavius Jackson is going to be 6-5 300 plus and play guard for the Gators.
[edit] But 6'8 would be a huge guard. I am betting Brown would beat out Tunsil and they would use Tunsil to play in spots behind Theus and Brown. Until Brown left the program. All this stuff used to not be known but with the media anything coaches say gets out.

I agree with everything you said...all I am saying is with John Theus definitely taking a tackle spot, who is more likely to take the other tackle spot- Tunsil, out of high school, or Brown/godzilla. They are telling Tunsil everything he wants to hear to get him to commit. He's going to be the featured pulling left tackle (not guard) and be tight end and running back if he wants as well, and we will move this guy who is probably the best JUCO left tackle at guard just so you can be the pulling tackle and running back on the same play...

LSU a few years ago had a HUGE guard.. I think his name was herman johnson but not sure.
DeBigLeezard
08-31-2012, 02:17 PM
I think that we will find those rare cases where a team has a guard that is over 6' 6"... but, once again... those are true rarities.
A guard has got to be able to raise up his head, get his head past the center and PULL on a tackle or linebacker.
Not an easy thing to do when you are 6' 8".
And... whenever someone THAT tall does do it... it tips off the defensive linemen and backers very quickly as to exactly what the offense is doing.
80% of all pulling techniques is based upon the element of speed and surprise.
Anyone who has played defensive tackle and then, gets blindsided by a pulling guard know what I am tawkin' about.

I understand he's been hurt a lot during his stay in Gville. Point is, even when healthy he hasn't been dominating like a 5* should be. I'm not trying to be a downer or disrepect our players, but other than Tebow and Harvin how many of our 5* recruits have actually played like 5* recruits the past 6/7 years?

Do you want the time they played for us, or after they left, because some of those five star guys have done pretty well so far in the NFL, David Nelson for one, and sounds like Deonte "NO HANDS" Thompson is going to make a impact on the ravens. As far as while they were here, not many to answer your question.

To be honest g8r925, I'm not invested in their NFL careers. Don't get me wrong, I hope they all have great careers, but I'm not invested in the Buffalo Bills like I am the Gators. So to answer your question, it's frustrating to me when they don't play up to there potential as a Gator but go on to excel in the NFL. Will Hill and Denote are very good examples.

I'll give you Spikes and Dunlap (to some extent). Cam never did anything while a Gator. To be honest, Jelani (he was a 4*) and Elam are not dominate playmakers and have only looked average to above average to me. In fact, Easley, Floyd and Hunter haven't lived up to their billilng as well. When I watch Bama and LSU I see dominate playmakers on the field. I see men amounst boys. I see them putting a physical beating on the other team. In short, I see their playmakers dictating how the game will be played. Not seeing that with us right now. JMHO

Jelani was a 5 star according to Rivals. Maybe not according to Scout but if you are using their rankings I will doubt your judgement even more. I completely disagree on Matt Elam not being a dominant play maker. This is a guy who at the end of this year will be a 1st or 2nd round draft pick? Not really sure what you were hoping for in a 5 star safety, but in my eyes he has done everything expected of him and much more.

My definition of dominate is playmaker, game changer, momentem changer (i.e. honey badger type). If Jelani was a 5* if proves my point even more. Elam is solid in pass coverage, does a GREAT job of supporting the run and hustles his butt off. Dominate players in my eyes turn the ball over, runs over tacklers (Trent Richardson), stretches the defense (Justin Blackmon) etc. IMO Reggie Nelson and Major Wright were better and I'm pretty sure they weren't 5* (maybe Reggie was). I'm not down on Elam. He plays his butt off, but I want to see int's for TD's and hits that separates the ball from the receiver. And it's not just Matt, it's RoPo, Easley, Floyd etc. All these guys were 5* recruits and I have yet to see any of them play a DOMINATE game.

Leak, Nelson, Spikes, Harvey and Hernandez were 5 stars. Without the 5 stars, we don't sniff a MNC in 06 or 08. We didn't have a 5 star bust except for maybe John Brown for all of the 00's. Just because the guys on the roster now aren't All Americans YET doesn't mean they won't be. They've all started games since the were TF. That's the definiton of a 5 star (and a light roster)

lol...I watched a few games here and there the last 6/7 years. You're making my point. The past few years our 5*'s haven't produced like they did from 06-10. BTW, I did acknowledge Spikes, Harvin, Tebow and Nelson as 5*'s that produced. Elam, Floyd, Powell, Hunter, Jenkins and Easley haven't come close to living up to their billing IMO. Janoris is an example of a playmaker that produced from 08-10.
So you're telling me that you believe the #1 HS defensive player in the nation has played dominating ball at UF?
I agree with Gatorules. The dominant players/playmakers we've had the last 10 years were Harvin, Tebow, Spikes, Hernandez, Maurkice Pouncy. A notch below would be Joe Haden, Janoris Jenkins, Ray McDonald, Harvey, Siler and probably a few more I can't think of. Right now Alabama has tons of guys like this which I believe is due more to Saban's unscrupulous tactics (i.e. oversigning and cutting players) than his coaching ability/talent evaluation. I also have a sneaking suspicion that their players ingest/inject something that ours don't. Whether it's legal or illegal I don't know, but it is hard to believe the players they recruit are that much bigger and stronger than the ones we do or that their strength program is that much superior to ours.

I believe all of our 5 star defenders in the past played their best ball their Jr and Sr seasons. Most weren't forced into action their TF year. Harvey and Dunlap dominated but not until their Jr yrs. 2 of ours now are just now playing their true position, and our 5* buck last year led the team in sacks his first year playing that position.

Way to over react. I never said they were all busts. Actually, what I said and have implied is they are good players......just not dominate. BTW, Harvin was a dominate player as a freshman, Tebow won the Heisman as a sophomore, Nelson (JC transfer) was a beast the first time he stepped on the field as a sophomore, Pouncy started as freshman on the OL and his brother played on the DL as a freshman and Janoris started as a freshman. Other than those examples I agree with your statement that most players are better their Jr and Sr years.

There is some question if Georgia even wants Brown anymore. Moore has not visited FSU yet so we wont know until after that visit. I am very bullish on Florida's chances to win the east next year so I would take Moore and Brown to sure up the Oline. That would give you 4 guys to rotate at tackle Moore Brown Humphries Chaz Green. Garcia would take one guard spot and the other is Halapio

There is some question if Georgia even wants Brown anymore. Moore has not visited FSU yet so we wont know until after that visit. I am very bullish on Florida's chances to win the east next year so I would take Moore and Brown to sure up the Oline. That would give you 4 guys to rotate at tackle Moore Brown Humphries Chaz Green. Garcia would take one guard spot and the other is Halapio
And a couple of large young backup in Dunker and Jackson behind Halapio and Garcia... With Cameron Dillard backing up Harrison at center. Possibly Patchan and Koehne sticks around another year? Sounds like a good two deep with a couple extras...

I don't get the criticism of Elam. He is a box safety and a darn good one. Doesn't have great balls skills, but he is a sure tackler who hits with some authority, he gets around the field very well and is always in on plays, and he covers slot receivers and tight ends pretty well. He just isn't going to record a ton of interceptions and since he plays in the box so much he won't get a ton of highlight reel hits against unsuspecting receivers. But he is tremendously active and usually around the ball.

I agree, he is very good at what he is asked to do. If he played the old Reggie Nelson position, then you would see those kind of plays. He is like another LB. On the field. He more than likely would be in the top 2 at RB as well.

She also received a Master's Degree and an Education Specialist Degree from the University of Florida.
Those had to have been mail-in courses, weekend courses, unsupervised courses, on-line courses, mail order courses, extension courses, or the usual education courses that don't check pulses for deadness.
Besides, she was already ruernt by A&M.

Exactly. A safety who plays the scheme coach has him play will never get interceptions.

I also read that he plays DT in JUCO, wondering if we can use him for both OT and DT next year... He could definitely both 1) fill up some holes on D and 2) plow the fields for MB or KT next year

Haha, thanks Laremy, this might have helped Florida more than you will ever know.
Brown seemed pretty solid with his commitment to UGA until a conversation last month with another target of the Bulldogs, 5-star OL Laremy Tunsil of Lake City, Fla.
“Florida asked Laremy Tunsil what Georgia told him about me, and Laremy told them I might be playing guard,” Brown told DawgNation’s Kipp Adams. “The Florida coaches told my coaches, and that is how I found out.”
