#1 DT in JC. Do we have a shot?

[rjp4u]

Saw this in the AJC...

[Itssaul]

God knows we could use a ready to play big bodied DT.

[HudsonGator]

Gilmore insurance?

[StrangeGator]

He could step right in for Floyd or Hunter. I don't know any program that offers so much for a JUCO DT.

[luciaboy]

brantley insurance?

[gatordee]

Just keep him out of Georgia! But I do not believe it will be easy.

[g8r925]

With Brantley looking, and Gilmore a coin flip, I think the staff is just doing its best to not be short on an area of need. I think it just shows us how important the Dline is. We have to have a good two deep in order to keep the guys fresh like we are doing this yr. As well as realize that the Juco guys are more physically developed in most situation than high school kids coming in.

[gatormoe1]

Otherwise known as a coach that players like, but doesn't win.

“I definitely feel good about Georgia. They are one of my top schools. I’ve got a real good relationship with coach Mark Richt. I feel like he’s a player’s coach.”

[rserina]

No chance. He is still deciding whether to visit Miami or Florida because he has never been to Florida. That hardly sounds like someone seriously considering us.

That's like choosing between Disney and the local Fair... and I don't mean the good fair, I mean that crappy one that the church has every year.

[Itssaul]

That's the point he has never been here. Hopefully out O&B girls can convince him that maybe Florida is the place he'd wanna live. If muschamp doesn't convince him of course.

[gatorchamp27]

lets hope so

[GATORAZ]

this kid has been recruited hard by Georgia and UT for awhile now also OKLAHOMA does he even have a Florida offer?

[superman2318]

“I think I want to go to places that I’ve never seen before,” Johnson said. “I’ve never been to California so I might end up going to USC. I’ve never been to Florida so I might end up taking a visit to Florida or Miami. I want to go to places that I probably won’t ever see. I’m hoping to take all five visits.”

= No chance. He will go to UGA. I would not waste the money involved with alowwing him to vitit.

[DieAGator]

Agree with AZ, we appear to be late to the party.

What strikes me from the article is if Georgia has to replace three starting DTs why they holding off on Kelsey Griffin? Maybe hoping to get Mont Adams? Yes I know he might not be SEC ready as a FR but he's still a talent and if they stock the roster with JUCOs and miss the guys that will likely be studs in two seasons they are still in the same boat but replacing JUCOs.

Their DL class already has five and their class has 27 commits already. I suppose that doesn't matter to a guy coming in just because he probably can start for the next two seasons.

I wonder how many more georgia can take this year... wonder how many they get to count back to last year's class of 20?

[floridavol29]

UT has a very good relationship with a very talented Hutchinson group right now.

Georgia already has 3 dt's for this class. Georgia said no to Riles earlier in the year actually they stopped picking up their phone for his calls.

As of right now Johnson and Adams are at the top of their board if they miss on them they might let Griffin in the class.


in other news Adams will be in the SWAMP for the Florida vs LSU game

[DieAGator]

Awesome news on Adams, hope he shows. I think our depth chart is as appealing as anyone's, especially given that the guy's leaving are probably moving on to the NFL.

I imagine Antonio Riles doesn't think a whole lot of UGA's staff these days. Wonder what the deal is with Griffin, a lot of talent but still needs some development? He camped with us, surprised we're not more active with him, or if he's just waiting around hoping Georgia gives him an offer.

we made Riles wait too but I pretty sure we didnt stop picking up the phone. Last week M North and Von Bell tried to call the staff to set up visits and the could not get in contact with the staff either I guess thats how the Dawgs do biz when they have other people higher on te board.

Nothing is wrong with Griffin that I know of UGA is just higher on two other prospects. Griffin would have been in the class if he would have committed say in the spring.

Toby Johnson now has a Gator OFFER.

In other DT news Caleb is talking about visiting FSU 3 more times.

all of our committed players give the coaches a heads up if they are going to visit another school. Still think he sticks but Ira and Caleb really want to play together.

[gatordee]

I am mnot sure how to take Brantley's so called commitment.

[UFFL]

I am mnot sure how to take Brantley's so called commitment.

I do not have good feelings about this kid. Great player. But if he isn't committed, he shouldn't commit. It's plain and simple. Yes, I'm happy when players flip to our team. But in all honesty, I think it's lame when a team reserves a spot for you, then you leave.

[DieAGator]

We'll see but maybe we take Denson in the end to get a pretty good OG and great(potentially) DT?

Wondering if Caleb's position is based on other DTs staff might be looking at.... Maybe it's not so much us looking at other DTs because Brantley's leaving, but expecting Brantley to leave because we have other DTs that want to commit? Well, I wish anyway. At least that way we're in the driver's seat.

I think Caleb's been put off by staff's evaluations and subsequently putting his friends lower on the board and perhaps that's what's showing here- more loyal to his friends than the coaches at this point.

[bofusgators]

If he were to visit, then one never knows.

Right or wrong, he wasn't thrilled about the way things went down with Tre Bell either.

[MadduxFanII]

Considering our relative issues at the DT position recently (couple of juniors who might leave, no true DTs signed in 2011, no huge studs brought on campus in 2012, etc.), there's an argument that Brantley is the most important recruit in our class.

So, you know, losing him would kind of suck.

[UFFL]

Right or wrong, he wasn't thrilled about the way things went down with Tre Bell either.

Yeah he trashed us a bit there. I like this kid for his ability, but I do not like him for his personality. I'd rather have that guy that was considering LSU. I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I don't want kids like that representing our team

yes you are in the minority because Florida needs more than one DT in the class

[g8r925]

Brantley has been wishy washy for awhile now. He is at a position of need, but I hope he understands that if the staff can get some other guys to fill the need, and he is out visiting other schools, and his spot gets filled by another, then I hope his buddies that he likes to base all of his decisions on can get him in the door at another school. It just sounds to me like he is looking for a reason to decommit and go to another school.

FSU would gladly take him and so would about every other school. His spot is not going anywhere he knows this.

How are Williams and Mann progressing? We took a lot of Dlinemen last year. Are they all keepers?

[axer13]

has he actually visited FSU after committing? seems like you hear this every week yet he doesn't go

[GATORAZ]

no clue I know Williams was crying about red shirting at the beginning of the season

[GATORAZ]

dont think he has made a trip to FSU yet but of course he will be at the Gator game this weekend like always. He says he is going to the Florida vs FSU game which makes sense

[UFFL]

no clue I know Williams was crying about red shirting at the beginning of the season

Kinda the way things work sometimes. I get the feeling that a fair amount of the 2012 kids could still redshirt. I don't think Mann has seen the field, McCalister is almost definitely a RS, Jeremi Powell may be on ST but I'm not sure, Maye could RS (?), Ledbetter, Mornhinwheg, some of the Oline, etc.

yeah a decent amount of kids are red shirting. Powell and McCalister have been honored with scout team player of the week at least once this year.

I've heard McCalister was putting on weight fairly well for just being here a few months. I'm really interested to see where we put him

I think he is like 230 now so he still has a ways to go since he is 6'6 Buck/DE

[int1974]

Any chance we could move a OL to DT? How about T. Brown, 6'7 360 next too Orr. Does Mann go back to DT? Maybe we play more 3-4 next year. I do think Bullard at 290-295 would be great at DT.

If Brown comes to Florida it will be to play OT not DT. Mann is playing DT he was at OT for like a week then got moved back to defense. I think there is a good chance Bullard will eventually move inside to DT. Its easier to get on the field at DE than DT. The coaches dont seem too worried about DT because if they were they would have went after a JUCO a long time ago.

[DieAGator]

you still need a guy like Caleb in this class

Or Gilmore + Mont Adams, if we're so lucky. Caleb seems like "the man" but if he chose not to be part of the class and we got those two then I'm ok- just saying. In fact, I tend to think if we did get a commit from another DT like Mont Adams we're likely to lose him anyway.

What Caleb doesn't realize is that a year into his fsu commit he and Denson may not even be hanging together.

I think we are getting worked by this kid. Come on are you serious with those comments.

[UFFL]

I think if he doesn't flip before NSD, he'll do it on NSD. He trashed UF about the cornerback commitment situation, and he's all over FSU's d---. I would hardly know that he's committed to UF if not for recruiting websites, etc.

I would have to agree, with that, if he weren't listed with our guys as a commit, and I had to guess where he went, it would be the nolies for sure.

[stomp_and_chomp]

Brantley is a drama-queen. But we've all known that for months now.

He isn't flipping. I doubt he even takes 3 visits to FSU like others have posted. I think his parents really want him here. I thought he would have decommitted after we let Tre Bell go, but I think, really, you could have substituted Tre Bell with any other kid on the roster and he would have had the same reaction.

He REALLY wants to play with Denson. And Denson, to me, is a Defensive minded guy who wants to play OL so he can manhandle other Defensive minded guys. I can't remember the last time we had a guy with that mindset on the OL.

But, to reiterate, no matter what Brantley says, his parents will have him leveled off soon after. He'll be here this weekend, with Denson I assume, and after we beat South Carolina with all of our recruits there, he'll more than likely go quiet for awhile.

And really, I am not writing off Denson just yet. Even with Dawson's OV coming up. *IF* Denson shows up this weekend then I think the door isn't shut on him.

We need inside guys bad. Well, not too bad, but we will after next season, as most, if not all, of our veteran inside guys will be gone. It would be nice to pull in 3-4 kids to learn from our inside OL before they are gone.

[GATORAZ]

still cant figure out why Stomp thinks we need another inside guy when Florida will soon have 3 committed. But he is right every time Caleb says he is going to check out another school his mother and coach reel him back in. The one problem is Tallahassee is not that far away and maybe just maybe they would let him go there.

That being said no reason to bad mouth him he just wants to go to where he feels is best for him.

While I do think Florida has a shot with Gilmore and Adams Keep dreaming people. Also if Gilmore and Adams wanted to come to Florida the staff would like to take all 3.

Mainly strategy.

It's been awhile and Trent Brown hasn't committed yet. I hope he does, but honestly, that's the _only_ OT I see us taking... unless we offer a lower ranked OT right before NSD. I am still counting him among future Gator commits. But I am losing hope by the day... Taking Brown makes a lot of sense... We have our OT Ace in Humphries who will be playing for another 2-3 years. Bringing Brown on board gives us a 2-year bandaid, and that's great when we are selling early time to the top OT's for 2014.

We need a Center, no need to argue that point. Cameron Dillard is as good as any other Center around. Kublanow would have been the guy to get, but he is very content staying home in Georgia.

Taking 5 OG's in the next 2 years will negate the fact that we have 5 inside guys leaving after 2 years. Keeps equilibrium. We were in an uproar before last season because our OL was small. It's back to a very respective form, but we need to keep adding to it, we have to keep throwing bodies in that machine.

To me, Denson and Dawson are the two best guys we could get this cycle. Obviously, Dawson is the better of the two, and the most likely to commit. But Denson has everything going for him that makes me think he'll be a Gator... For starters, he is one of FSU's best players committed, and anytime we have that opportunity, then why not take it?? Brining Denson on shut's up Brantley for the rest of the year... and as some people have argued (not me tho), Brantley may be the single most important guy in our class. And the fact that Denson will flip on the dime if he were offered... I feel like this is why it is taking forever.... The coaches know he is a 100% flip, so why rush it?? Work some other guys (a WR and Defensive guys mostly) and try to work out the numbers in the meantime.

Looking to the future, we could potentially only take 3 really good OL recruits next year and be done. Though McDermott and Brumfeld are longshots... I would be VERY VERY content to just get those 2 guys +1 OL. McDermott's brother in Miami worries me, but you never know where a kid is going to go, and with the sanctions possibly coming down, this could sway him our way. Then again, sanctions wouldn't be an issue as he would be one of the top 3 kids they will take next year, possibly the best.

The coaches like Jackson better than Denson, that's why he is there.

[GATORAZ]

Stomp Brown still needs to take a visit to Arizona before he is ready to make a decision he might even take a trip to Georgia. Also I do not think the staff will take Browns commit until they figure out the deal with Tunsil Moore's commit changed everything we no longer are desperate for a tackle commit just would like to take one. There are a lot of Oline recruits next year its real early.

[stomp_and_chomp]

The coaches like Jackson better than Denson, that's why he is there.

Well, that doesn't necessarily have to be true. Jackson was a guy that nobody had on their board but our coaches were very high on him. He was one of the names that they held close to their chest. And when Outlaw decommitted, Jackson became an instant offer.

I believe Jackson to be better than Outlaw. So we won that battle. But I still see Denson and Dawson above Jackson talent-wise, for being Offensive Guards. I think what Jackson has going for him is he is a smart young man who is 6'4"/285, he has very decent size to play any position on the OL. While many have him pegged as a Guard, I think he could very feasibly play OT. And he may have to if we don't pull Trent Brown or another good OT option. But more-so, I see Jackson as an overall versatile OL who we can plug in at a couple positions for depth. With that role, he is bound to see early playing time. We have had guys like that at Florida forever.

Denson is more of a straight up Guard. He has a mean streak... this is the type of guy that thrives on being pitted up against good competition. His style of play and the fact that he can manhandle a lot of D's is the type that adds to the overall identity of the Line as a whole.

[GATORAZ]

The coaches like Jackson better than Denson, that's why he is there.

I really like Jackson he doesn't have the feet for tackle but he is a very athletic guard and will be great at pulling

If Brown comes to Florida it will be to play OT not DT. Mann is playing DT he was at OT for like a week then got moved back to defense.

[your_perfect_enemy]

So he'd rather we wasted a year of his elligibility and him still not play? Was this maybe him misunderstanding the coaches saying something while recruiting him along the lines of you'll play as a freshman, if you're one of the best guys and him not realizing he's not one of the best right now?

It's called beer goggles (sortof) my friends. Did you ever remember seeing a smoking hottie for the first time at Fat Tuesdays or the Swamp and ten seeing her later and finding out she's cute but not as hot as you remember

Doak was his first big game experience. I can see him remembering it louder than anything he's ever seen. So he remembers it as being the loudest, even though since then he has seen louder. First impressions are always a little skewed. I actually want him to go back to Tally just so that he sees his first impression was way off.

Or he's just blowing smoke up our butts because he's pissed that Denson may not be coming. Either way I think we re still in the driver seat for him

Or he's just blowing smoke up our butts because he's pissed that Denson may not be coming. Either way I think we re still in the driver seat for him

Yea i agree and i bet doak was very loud that game. THe SC game will be insane tho

So he'd rather we wasted a year of his elligibility and him still not play? Was this maybe him misunderstanding the coaches saying something while recruiting him along the lines of you'll play as a freshman, if you're one of the best guys and him not realizing he's not one of the best right now?

I know nothing about him transferring or even thinking about it. It happens at most schools kids are told they will have the opportunity to play early then they get to the school and coaches feel they are physically not ready to play so they redshirt. Kid complains about it for awhile then they get over it. They realize if they transfer they have to miss another season. I just mentioned that because I remember Gilmore comments.

CWM mentioned Quinteze Williams as playing well on scout team last week

Gilmore insurance?

Good one.
Gilmore said he loved his visit here but just wants to visit LSU 23 more times before announcing on NOV 8.
Then we can find out officially he just might be going to LSU.
BUT, YOU NEVER KNOW.

Insurance?

Puh-leeease!

Nothing... and I do mean NOTHING....
Compares to The Swamp when it comes to noise.

Joak Campbell can't even hold BHG's jockstrap when it comes to noise!
Many of us have been to both venues over the decades.

The Swamp is one of the loudest... if not THE LOUDEST stadium (college or NFL) in all of America.

I don't know man, LSU at night can be kind of loud.

[DeBigLeezard]

That is true... Tiger Stadium... at night... with a bunch of drunk Cajuns... can be very loud.
I have been there in Baton Rouge. They refer to it as, "The Cathedral of College Football."

My first cousin was the supervisor of the new enclosure for Mike The Tiger.
Also was over the construction of the new upper level on the home side.
All of my relatives are LSU fans. Great people and great fans.

But having said the above...
Game in and game out... across the board... week after week...
The Swamp is louder.

So loud that you can't even hear the person talking to you in the seat next to you.
Even if that person is shouting in your ear.
It is insane....

No chance. He is still deciding whether to visit Miami or Florida because he has never been to Florida. That hardly sounds like someone seriously considering us.

OK, but if he visits, I'd say the chances are better than nothing...

had a season ending kneee injury

OK, but if he visits, I'd say the chances are better than nothing...
