last chance

[swampsupreme]

to try and snag Laquon Treadwell #1 WR in the nation.

He's commited to Ole Miss, but is taking a few final visits to Michigan, UF, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma state.

This kids from illinois can anyone tell me why he's going to Ole Miss?


maybe Muschamp/Pease/Phillips can sway him and convince him to come play for a winning program.

i think we already have a good WR class coming in. But this would put the icing on the cake.

[tilly]

Yes. Let's go get him.


What time do we leave?

Would be a crazy WR class with him on board.

[gatorev12]

Early playing time is definitely up for grabs considering how thin we've been at the position in recent years and the graduation of Hammond.

New coach..............new bag-man? :whistle:

[GATORAZ]

Ole miss has a high school teammate of his that is on the team. Treadwell has been there multiple times and Ole miss has a good coaching staff. It two years they will be competing with the big boys in the SEC west.

That's about the only plausible explanation. Maybe Hugh Freeze is related to the villainous Mr. Freeze from Batman fame.

And the brother of the best recruit in the nation just happens to play football there too......I know. But............. it's still Ole Miss. :sick:

Its about relationships Ole Miss has two players on their team that have great relationships with two top recruits. This wont be a one year thing either they will continue to recruit well.

That last part is what I'm afraid of..... That's all we need is another USCe type up-and-comer on the west division.

That's what makes the SEC great, competition. Florida would only have to play them in the championship game anyways.

Good point. But ole miss isnt even the best team in their state.... Miss st. is and they have dan mullen.

Tennessee has shot themselves in the foot Florida has yet to ever even come close to doing that... Firing Phillip Fulmer was the dumbest thing that school could have ever done.

Ole Miss beat Miss State this year and I expect it to continue

The one thin that came close was Zook and Florida canned his ass fast...

My point is...we were irrelevant for 3 years under Zook...it happens that fast.
They won't come because we are Florida alone. Ask Notre Dame.

Right. If Foley struck out with Meyer...we would be Tennessee today. All it takes is two bad hires.

If you are irrelevant for 4 years, you lose an entire run of high school kids. Two bad coaches will cost you six years minimum.
The last Time Tennessee was good, high school seniors were in elementary school.

I repeat, kids won't play here for long "just because we are Florida".

They will play where the program is relevant.

Zook also recruited really damn well, made things much easier for Meyer, and no I am not bashing Meyer.

Just saying that Zook does not equal Dooley.

[phideltdj]

Recruiting is easy...play with an opportunity to win, play right away, and benefits. The kids are being recruited in junior high now so don't tell me the benefits don't matter. If a high school is willing to give you money, rent, and tuition to play for them nowadays why would they go to a college and not expect the same or more.

[gator1986]

Right they won't but being Florida will definitely make them think twice... There select schools that will get big recruits always that's just my belief...

Yeah, Meyer was a bad hire.. i mean sure he doubled the titles Spurrier (and everyone else) won and sure he lost less games to Uga and FSU in 6 years than Boom has in 2, but he was a horrible hire, heck Florida talent carried him, look how bad he's been at OSU, they didn't even make a bowl! (Ignore the record and the best wining pct in college football history please).

He misinterpreted what the poster was saying. The poster didn't say Meyer was a bad hire, the poster said had Meyer been a bad hire we could've been in Tennessee's shoes.

[g8r925]

You are missing the fact that he is a Meyer apologist. You would think that, due to him coming to his defense any time anyone on these boards says anything remotely bad about him or questions his excellence of coaching. :wave:

[elrongator]

You're right!! UF has never put a wide receiver into the NFL and probably never will. (I'm going to go ahead and point out my sarcasm because I get the feeling you need me to.)
By the way, not trying to activate your,"Meyer is my secret lover and I will attack if I perceive he's being dissed!!!" reflex, but you do realize he is no longer UF's head coach don't you?
Here's some more facts to chew on as well.
1. We had to survive Meyer's "retirement", followed by his "return" during which it's actually a moot point whether or not he actually coached at all.
2. Because of Meyer's love for Addazio we arguably lost Billy Gonzalez and endured even coaching changes at WR after Meyer flaked out.
3. We didn't even have a real WR coach this year after Aubrey Hill resigned due to the UM Nevin Shapiro investigation.
4. We now have Joker Phillips who has proven WR coaching skills.
5. We dealt with a virtual first time starter in Driskel who will be better next year.
6. It's impossible for me to believe you are a Gator fan with the crap you post.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say all your rep must have been earned during the Meyer era.
How you can take a thread questioning the staying power and prominence of college programs and interpret it as some kind of slight on an ex-Coach, I have no frickin idea.

it has become almost comical, if you like bad comedy.

[SECund2nun]

SS probably thought we would have 4-5 losses this season. We have 1. I doubt he would give Muschamp credit for that. Also he said we would have 3 losses next season- when we will probably have 1 or so (maybe 0 at best, 2 at worst).

Maybe once we meet up with OSU and Meyer and destroy them it will quiet it down.

Why do people keep bringing up OSU's coach in our conversations?

[dadx4]

When Ole Miss hired Friese (sp?), I thought it was an EXCELLENT hire, it's starting to show now. Ole Miss will be a force in the West really soon.

Ummm, no. Florida has a MAJOR advantage in having plentiful recruiting grounds right outside it's back door. We would be like USCw. Get a good coach and you're on top of the heap by the time you have your roster turned over. UT has to work a lot harder for the same recruits.

Coaches know the difference and we would not have Tennessee's issues finding a good or great coach.

Exactly, look at the depth at QB, RB, and WR. We're addressing those issues now, but it was slim pickings (or at least in player development).
