I'll tell you what it is. He has deceptive speed. That was the first thing I noticed in the video is that he looks like he's running slow as he blows by people. It's kind of like Matt Jones when he played at Arkansas. He always looked like he was running in slow motion but before anyone realized it, he was part them.

Joining him in Gainesville this Friday will be Robinson, whose commitment to the Gators made Hawkins nothing but happy.
“Man, that’s homeboy,” he said of Robinson. “We just got off the phone. His decision doesn’t bother me at all. I’m excited about it. That’s another great receiver we need on the team. Hopefully me and him can come in and make something happen for Florida’s offense. Both of us on the field at the same time is a hell of a combination.”
Hawkins would know. Their schools played on Nov. 2 and Robinson was assigned to cover Hawkins on defense. Robinson finished with 77 receiving yards and returned a punt 53 yards for a score, but Hawkins’ team won 26-17 and he caught a 10-yard touchdown pass over the new UF commit.
“He tried to guard me, but I scored on him,” Hawkins said laughing. “It was a great to go against each other. I didn’t get a chance to guard him, but I could see he’s a great player. After the game, he told me he was going to decommit from Clemson. So I’ve known for awhile that he was coming to Florida. Now we get to be teammates and I can’t wait.”

He's at least a top 10 receiver in this class (i'd say closer to top 5) so they have him way too low at 14. Rankings aren't going to get everything right, I wouldn't think too much about it.
I think it's crazy how he went from solidifying his commitment and shutting down recruitment 30 days ago to flipping.

4 star top 25 WR's. Dont think the staff is even recruiting Coley. Clark is pretty special but he is 5'10 we really needed at 6'2 plus WR that would be ready early. It is what it is :sad:.

Florida is going to win games regardless but we really needed a down field threat for this National Championship game I had us penciled in for. Teams have a year of tape on us they will play us different next year. Pittman better step up

True, Pittman and I feel quinton dunbar can really be a threat downfield next year he was this past year but just over thrown or under thrown balls... But he was wide open multiple times as where he burned them 1on1

Or perhaps, we shouldn't get too high or low based on what comes out of a young man's mouth. I doubt that our recruiting is going to take a serious hit one way or the other.
And it isn't even 2013 yet. Recruiting angst is like the Christmas season; it just keeps showing up earlier and earlier each year.

Some people didn't think he looked fast on tape (I thought he did) and he was not one for going to camps. These services want kids going to their camps. Demarcus shows up to one camp smokes everybody and then doesn't do another one.

Do you realize how many decommits go our way every year? It's a 2 way street. If you're gonna get all bent out of shape every time a 17/18 year old kid doesn't want to come to UF, you're gonna have a frustrating time following recruiting.

You know, when I used to be heavy into recruiting, it's a known fact that Spurrier did exactly that with RB Fred Taylor.
FSU coveted Fred's services and really recruited him hard, but Fred loved his main UF main recruiter, Ron Zook. So, during the dead period that year before NSD, Spurrier actually had Zook sitting in his car down the street from Fred's home to keep an eye on the FSU coaches who'd already tried to call and visit him during the dead period.
FSU did this with Robert Cromartie and Anquan Boldin to sway them at the last second too. Heck, they had their boosters just buy Boldin's servives.
