Do EEs count toward last year's recruiting, or this year's? If last, we can then bring in 25 more, correct?

Yes we had 9 2012 slots open and we have filled all 9 of them, maximizing our 2013 haul (which theoretically could be as many as 34 when you add those 9 back to 2012).

G07 is correct about the 34 total, but the 85 total is the factor that would prevent that.

But, if there was a case where 10 players transferred and we wanted to fill up, we could.

Read somewhere that there could be four to six transfers.

What happened to the new SEC oversigning rule? I thought they limited recruiting to 25 plus 3 that date back to the previous year. This was their response to Saban and Miles oversigning...

You're right except i don't know where you got the number 3 from. For example we could count 9 back this year, which is what we are doing.

Ivie? He's the smartest, most advanced freshman DL in this class, possibly the reincarnation of Brad Culpepper. He might be slightly undersized. So was Morrison. Maybe we should have told Morrison to wait for fall, then redshirted him. EJ Manuel wishes we had.

I predict that Ivie will make an early impact and eventually become one of the leaders of what will be a legendary defensive unit.

Because not that many kids graduate a half year early/late. If you get 5-9, that is a great number.

He may have been injured, in which case I spoke out of turn. Rolin's injury dampened my enthusiasm about getting him in early. He has the same kind of smarts, but more athleticism. Maybe just getting kids like this in our own rehab program instead of having them rehabbing in their home towns. It will also help having them be in team meetings, watching film and getting to know their teammates.

I like the idea of counting back, but I think the biggest advantage is getting them into spring practice and accelerating their development as players in this system.

I hope Robinson will still be an EE for UF. Harris however will not be an ee for us but is still a Gator. He would still be recovering from knee surgery so it is not too big of a deal.

No....check the archives. I've always been a, 'give a man a chance,' type of man. He's still earning his stripes, but dayum, he is making me happier day by the day...

I predicted a BSC Championship game, this year in one of the earlier threads during spring practice before this season began. I thought we'd be undefeated this season... That's a closer guess-timation then all the fainting goats that thought we'd barely win 7 or 8 games this year. :wink:

Even if an EE has an injury that keeps them out of spring practice, there are so many advantages to getting used to Gainesville, classes, and if possible some work with Jeff Dillman. I'd bet there are a number of EE's who had AP or dual enrollment classes in high school, so they have a fair amount of credits already. Didn't Sturgis graduate with a masters degree in December? Having some extra classes out of the way won't hurt anyone in keeping up with the required schedule. I don't know about the rest of y'all, but the last half of HS senior year was pretty much trying not to screw anything up. When you've been to 2-3 prom's already, having your girlfriend visit for a weekend in Gainesville is a lot better.

mmmm, blue plate special lol

Is the following correct?

I'm counting 77 total players with the current commits along with Purifoy/Patchan moving on. If three leave early for the NFL we're at 74, eleven short of the 85 limit. If nine go EE & we fill out this year's class with two more to hit the 25 per year number, then we finally have a full 85 on scholarship.

I'm not sure, but none of the ones that said they were going to enroll early have reconsidered, waiting for fall.

UF has six other early enrollees who will report to campus this week in addition to Robinson — running back Kelvin Taylor (Belle Glade Glades Day), JUCO offensive linemen Trenton Brown (Milledgeville Georgia Military) and Tyler Moore (St. Petersburg College), JUCO defensive tackle Darious Cummings (Scooba East Mississippi CC), defensive lineman Joey Ivie (Dade City Pasco) and linebackers Daniel McMillian (Jacksonville First Coast) and Matt Rolin (Ashburn, Va./Briar Woods).

Good idea after what happened to Dante Phillips last year. He committed, was going to enroll early, then reconsidered, wavered on his commitment for a while, then wasn't accepted at all. Where did he end up?

He prefers to be called Omari Phillips. Don't know how long he'll last at UT, as he's had academic issues (according to the link below). He was suspended by Dooley at one point during the season and redshirted, I assume.

Early on in the last cycle, he was Omari, the offensive lineman. Then he made it clear he wanted to play DT and be called Dante. Maybe he has multiple personality disorder. We got the Dante we wanted anyway.

So is Patchan transferring or is he moving on from football? Hate to see either happen. None of his injuries were related to one another. He struck me as a guy who lifted, played and practiced with just a little to much intensity.

Never liked the way that Urban handled his situation. Realize that his many injuries contributed to his lack of playing time, but IMO, he should have have stayed as a DE where his speed & size would have kept him in the lineup. Moving him between OT & DE did not help him or the team.
