There's only 8 (absolute tops) names in my head.

Ira Denson
Jalen Ramsey
Jason Hatcher
Jarran Reed
Montravius Adams
Jaynard Bostwick
Elijah Daniel
Chris Jones

If their name is not there, then I don't think we'll get them. Can never really tell with the kids we pull a day or 2 before NSD... even on the day.

What about Swanson & Clark? I can promise you they are a head or Ira

What do you think about Ryan Timmons & Kieth Bryant?

You missed Alex Collins. So lets put this in the coaches order:

Elijah Daniel
Montravius Adams
Jalen Ramsey
Chris Jones
Jaynard Bostwick slightly > Jarran Reed
Alex Collins
James Clark
Kenard Swanson (If grades are good enough)
if miss on above Elijah Daniel then Tashawn Bower and Jason Hatcher (don't know the order on these two, depends on visits)

If we miss on ALL of these and there is a ship left:
Ira Denson

Swanson is a reasonable addition, but I think if it comes, it'll be on NSD. Clark, I think he is a really hot commodity at this moment... A lot of schools are selling him early time, and those teams don't nearly have the WR depth that we have in this class. We have a shot, but until recently his recruitment has been lackluster, now he is seeing places with the red carpet rolled out in front of him... we'll see how that affects him I guess.

Keith Bryant?! I didn't even know he decommitted from the U. He would be an epic pull, kid has talent. I guess I'd put him up in the Montravius / Jaynard / Jarran category.... I know we'll get at least 1 of those... as to which one, I have no idea _at all_... I don't really stress over that... I'd be happy to get any one of those. So why stress?!

Timmons, I can definitely see committing to tOSU in the next few days. I don't think he comes here.

I left him off for a reason. I don't think we'll get Alex Collins. Maybe, and some people will say hopefully, we'll get him... I just don't see it happening. He'll recommit to Miami, imho.

Lemme re-shift that list:

Montravius Adams
Jarran Reed
Chris Jones
Jason Hatcher
Keith Bryant
Jalen Ramsey
Jaynard Bostwick
Elijah Daniel
James Clark
Ira Denson
Durham Smythe
Kennard Swanson

OSU canceled his visit

Ahhh, Did not know that! I'd say Arkansas then, that's his best offer. And he's pretty much in the category of Alton "Pig" Howard. I think Pig was/will be better.

Edit: Also, If OSU cancelled, then I am curious to the reasoning... They only have 1 WR committed. I am wondering if they thought he was a bit of a reach.

They have some ATH that will play WR/ Percy position. Plus they are still recruiting some players they feel confident in. Timmons will probably go to Kentucky or Cincy if he doesnt get a Florida offer he eliminated Akry.

I think if Swanson has the grades the staff needs to take him. The fullback position is too important in the offense to only have one on the roster

If I were on the staff, I would have offered Kevin Ferguson Jr. and never looked back. SMH

Why would you offer Kimbo Slice's son?

He's like 6'2" / 6'3"... The kid is yoked out. He has a full-on man-beard. He also's wrestles and learns from his father, another yoked out beast.

I mean, really, to me, he looks like if he came into this program under Dillman, I couldn't even really imagine where he would be at...

And honestly, we only need a FB for short-yardage type packages... I could swear we used Hunter Joyer more the season before last. I would only think FB packages would go down since we have KT and Lane... and Jones.

Also, Kimbo Jr. has like a 3.6 GPA. Scholar-Athlete, right there.

Have you seen Kimbo jr's film? He is like 5'9 185 lol

I dont know where you got this 6'3 stuff from

I like being able to have FB on the team Hunter has played well and I think Swanson will be a better player.

Made it up for laughs, the GPA is spot on tho, I believe. In my mind, however, I think of him more as the coming of a beast among men. Imagine if we had Apollo Creed in his prime moving the rock. Epic.

I don't know whom you're referring to, but I stated that Anzalone might switch his commitment after his coach started taking interviews for NFL jobs, not after their beat-down to 'bama. Plus we all know that Alex was so close to choosing Florida the first time around that it seemed logical that he'd revisit his commitment to Notre Dame.

In the end it was an educated guess that he might take a look at us again and he did. I'm happy, you're happy...........it's good for all Gator Nation.

This is the thread

Like I said I was wrong but I always though there was a chance but I was tired of thread like that one.

Brian Kelly staying at #ND. #Gators commits told me Alex Anzalone was talking #UF flip since early Jan, but #Eagles interview made it happen

So if you had to put a percentage on it - what's our chances with Robert Nkemdiche?

0%. It is not going to happen. He says he is down to Ole Miss and LSU, but everything I have read suggests that he is really just down to Ole Miss.

I assume he is reasonably good if he had offers from LSU and WVa, but I wonder why everyone seems so sure that he is worth a 'ship at FB. The very limited film available of him running the ball was not impressive (which is not surprising given that he had only 12 carries all year as a senior: http://www.polkpreps.com/sports/play...gibson-braves/). Did he play FB at the camps or otherwise work out for the coaches at that position?

And to add to that, his older brother plays for Ole Miss. already. But there's still Adams and Jones and a couple of other very good defensive lineman we could land.
