2013 DB Mackensie Alexander of Rosenberg TX

[UFFL]

Just saw on twitter that he apparently did the gator chomp at his game. Of course, take it for what it's worth (as well as the fact that this came from twitter), but it's pretty interesting nonetheless.

[LAGatorDoc]

He was playing covering Ryeshene Bronson, one of our 2014 recruits, for most of the game. maybe it had some sarcasm to Bronson after Mackensie made a big play against him???

No idea on the context. I just thought it was pretty interesting

[GATORAZ]

I think Mackensie Alexander played against Bronson earlier in the year. Mack said Bronson sucked and said he was going to call CWM and tell him to drop the kid's offer

[GATORAZ]

here is the actual game if anybody wants to watch

2014 Gator commit Ryeshene Bronson plays on Dunbar
FSU WR commit and Florida DB target JC Jackson had a 58 TD catch
RB D'Ernest Johnson had 150 yards on 26 carries. He tried to commit to Florida a few week ago.

It appears Mackensie Alexander's Gator chomp was just him mocking 2014 #UF WR commit Ryeshene Bronson. So don't get excited #Gators fans

Do you think we'll take Johnson?

[GATORAZ]

Do you think we'll take Johnson?

I think we can get some better RB's but he is pretty good so its hard to tell. If I was the staff I would wait a while.

[gatordee]

Does anyone have the final stats for Bronson in that game??

[g8r925]

I hate it for that kid from Dunbar, he got hurt badly, had a ankle dislocation and a broken lower leg.

According to ESPN
Cornerback Mackensie Alexander (Immokalee, Fla./Immokalee), the No. 4-ranked prospect in the ESPN 150, and his brother, Mackenro Alexander, are no longer a package deal in recruiting.

[revthejedi]

The whole package deal thing always seemed odd to me, does this put UF back in the mix?

most schools were not treating them as a package deal anyways. From what I understand its more up to UF if they want to be in the mix (could be wrong).

[elrongator]

Apparently nobody bought the package deal and now it's time to get serious.
We have need for another corner. Hmmmmm

[Speedofsand]

did he move from Immokalee to Rosenberg, Texas during the season?

[g8r925]

no Mackenzie is still here in town, I don't know where the whole tx thing came from.

A similar thread on Tunsil lists him as being from Miami in the thread title.

[UFFL]

I'm the OP of this thread, but I didn't add the Texas thing. It must've been added later by a mod

Somebody's hacking into the threads. That's two on the front page listing the wrong home town in the thread title for recruits.

Yeah my original title was just "Mackenzie Alexander" because it was a small discussion about him. Which other recruit had the wrong home town in the title?

[gator7_5]

My guess is Ray since he does that on all the commit threads. Or a Ray imposter. No telling siince Ray seems pretty uninformed about recruiting.. no offense.

[GatorJeff]

Laremy Tunsil of Miami, FL". He's from Lake City.

[elrongator]

He's about to be from dog bowl Georgia from what all the rumors say.
Still can't believe he'd consider going to Georgia because UF is not getting him away from home enough.
Also don't buy the line that UF told him he would have to play guard.
In fact, all I remember about out Oline the last ten years is moving guys around all the time to see who meshes with who. Hard to believe they'd tell a too ranked tackle he just couldn't play there.

[g8r925]

Yeah I don't buy the whole guard thing either.

[g8r925]

I know Mack isn't coming here, but there is a good story about our town and the players that grow up here on the recruiting nation front page, pretty good read, if anyone is interested, didn't know if I could post the link here or not?

I dont see why you couldn't post that story people should read it

So we have 0% shot with him, eh?

I would say more than likely not, I think he will end up a with Ms ST. or A&M, I have read where some recruiting analyst were ragging on this kid because they thought he has a bad attitude or he was rude. Just know these two boys are great kids, who have been through a lot and I think this story lets some see a little bit of that. Would have been thrilled to have him or his brother play for the orange and blue, but maybe we'll have one or two next yr.

It has to be higher than 0

[ufovrfsu]

Not sure what it says as I am not a member, but from what I could gather 24/7 is insinuating he was sent a LOI and a possibility he signs with the Gators. He has been a mystery this entire time so I guess it is not out of the realm of possibilities?

[JamminGator]

Would not shock me in the least if he signed with the Gators!

I hear Miss St & Clemson from some but I'm hopeful for good news tomorrow...I will say why one way or the other tomorrow after he signs!

[Gatorphenom]

Definitely smoke here.....the Ramsey thing could have been a blessing in disguise. No one knows for sure.... Most consider Alexander to be the better when compared to Ramsey, I always thought talent wise they were about equal with MA having the edge in raw talent yet none were as polished as VH3.

[g8r925]

I have said it from the beginning that Mack is better than Ramsey, but hey there could be a surprise, he told me on one occasion that he would go to UF but for his brother and seems that has been solved for him.

[gator7_5]

I'm not getting my hopes up, but on paper, if Mac signed with UF, that would be the best secondary class in CFB history. We could potentially have the back half of the field inpenetrable for the next 3 yrs.

[StrangeGator]

If it was our choice, I'd take Ramsey, more versatility, good student, high character and goes to an excellent high school. Seems like I read that Alexander is not a super scholar, though certainly better than his brother. Recuitnics don't focus much on grades, but there are fewer busts among good students and a lot more overachievers.

Well, at least best in UF's history. Thought I might find some comparable or better in Bama/USC's secondary classes but could not. Looked 10 years back and surprisingly it's not at DB USC seems to get their best batches. They get some good ones but usually in small numbers and some aren't so highly ranked like their RB/OL/DL commits. Bama has had some good ones and last year's class was strong with 3 top 10 DB(2S,1CB) and two JUCO CBs but one of the JUCs left already and the other was not ranked highly out of HS. So yeah, IF we picked up another top CB this DB class could be envied.

[StrangeGator]

Don't understand Alexander's aversion to UF. He seems to be focused on lower tier programs that might have considered his brother. UF might have been very adamant about not taking is brother and that could have put him off. In the end, they just can't play together unless they're reunited after two years. Mack should have recognized that early on.

I still like Ramsey better. Might not get on the field as soon, not at corner anyway, but I think he has a higher ceiling overall.

[GATORAZ]

I think Mac is a better corner
