I don't think he'll play Buck. He doesn't really have the overall size for the position. But he would make a pretty stellar OLB. That said, if we were counting him as an OLB, he would probably be at the very top of the list. Actually, no probably, he would for sure be in the top 2 OLB's that we could land this year.

Kid has speed. He plays WDE at his HS. If he stay's around 6'2"/6'3" and gets to about 230-40ish, while still keeping the speed and instincts that he has, he'll make a great Defense look better.

He de-committed from FSU because we (and apparently UK) were recruiting him pretty hard. It seems like there are a few kids already committed to FSU who have a lot of interest in Florida.

Florida offered Kentavius Street offers are coming so fast it is hard to finish this top 40 targets

Thornton, L. Carter, and some WSDE from SC that Lawing has been personally recruiting (I don't know the exact order) are higher on the board than Ware. The position is so important that we would probably take more than one if we could and we miss on the number one target.

Again, I think we'll recruit Ware as a OLB. And he would be among the highest on the board.

Justin Thornton and Kentavious Street are WDE's that will more than likely turn into SSDE's for college.

Lorenzo Carter is WDE that can either play Buck or SSDE, depends on how he goes with his training.

We are also recruiting Da'Shawn Hand and he is absolute tops for SSDE.

I could have sworn we were recruiting Lorenzo Featherston out of NC for Buck, but Rivals doesn't have us with an offer. I thought I recently heard chatter about him though.

Andrew Brown is the best DT that we are recruiting at the moment, he is #6 overall on the rivals 250. We'll hopefully pull him or someone extremely close to his skill.

If Travonte Valentine de-commits we'll go after one of the other Florida DT's... but I doubt we'll ever stop recruiting Valentine, he's the best in the state. We need to hold on to him.

Brown and Valentine are the #1 and #2 DTs in the country on 247. I know it's asking a lot, but I'd like to see both of them at UF. We look very good with D linemen across the board. The top SSDE and WSDE show interest in UF.

I don't think getting the top 2 DT's in the nation is out of the question. But if we were to pull in Brown, it would be very interesting to see how Valentine feels.

Nice list, but I made two corrections, UF isn't getting either Brumfield or Willis, as both will end up at LSU.

I read this same stuff before....who was it about? Oh yeah, Kain Daub. Thanks for the worthless input.

Daub is from Florida, I never expected him to commit so early in the first place, and I would never say he was anything other than a possibility to end up a Tiger when all is said and done.

Now, if you would like to compare apples to apples, look at Lorenzo Phillips, a Louisiana kid who actually "committed" to UF before ultimately flipping to LSU once the full court press was put on by Les.

Who is the last player to sign with UF from Louisiana that LSU wanted...Ernie Badeaux?

The point is, it has been a long, long time and UF is going to actually have to demonstrate the ability to do it before one can assume it is going to happen.

gator7_5 · 02-14-2013, 04:19 PM

The fact is, we never actively recruit many kids out of La.

What's Muschamp supposed to do now that kids all over the country are getting Boom fever and are asking to come work out for him?

**gatorchamp27** · 02-14-2013, 04:24 PM

There are some kids on this list that have absolutely no business being on it. Dont take this list very serious it is an utter shame. These updates are based only on camp circuits and not on actual game evaluation or tape evaluation.

Yes, you are correct, UF doesn't actively recruit Louisiana because it is generally a waste of time and resources, which is exactly my point.

"Boom fever?"

That's very good, I like that.

You said the same thing last time. You also were celebrating Daub and we see what happen with that. This is the first time in a long time LSU has to defend their state from anybody but Bama, Florida & A & M are lurking.

I think you must have missed my post above, so for your convenience I have posted it again:

Did you celebrate when Kain committed to LSU? Florida hasn't actively recruited your state now Florida and A & M are

We know Bama likes taking players from you.
