What do you mean?

1) Yeah, we'll have four 6'3 250 lb. LBers running all over the place before long

2) People criticized taking Andrades as a "reach."

Maybe a few players didn't commit late but how the heck is he supposed to know exactly what these 17 year olds are thinking or if they decide to make a last-minute switch?

Btw, he's called much of this class anyway and has been at least 80% accurate. SUG does a damned good job IMO.

He was kidding, but you're hired.

My percentage rate wasn't bad...could get better with Diggs (still say Florida).

Yeah, I get it now, didn't realize he and Hearns were teammates. I'm pretty happy with what's going on.

I just looked at ESPN's top 100 for 2013 and saw a ton of FL prospect on the list and a large majority on that list are seriously considering the Gators. 2013 could be a serious haul for us come NSD.

Relax Gray, I was just messin with SUG, he did a great job with recruiting updates and frankly was my main source this year since I am no longer on the insider board.

I didn't think we would have the big close a number of posters thought we would, it happened under Meyer and Spurrier a couple of times but usually NSD is anticlimatic.

We have a good class, a few holes too but I am already looking forward to next year.

Getting back to recruiting -- SUG please tell me the Taylor kid is a lock, thats the one I want an early commit from! Linebackers are great but we need a darn good rock totin stud on offense!!!!

Hearns tweeted right after Andrades announced "I'm coming too" or something similar. There was also a third player from Lincoln with an offer who said he was going to commit with Hearns. I can't recall the name, though. The tweets were posted here yesterday.

rpj4u... Since your karma seemed to start all this... wish for something else? Come on man!!

Ok...Kelvin Taylor, Green, and Derrick Henry...and the OL from Lake City. I would love to see 5 big OL's this year...all mean with a dislike for UGA, FSU, Miami, and Bama.

rjp4u · 02-03-2012, 12:10 PM

Anyone know where the OL from Lake City is leaning? Has he even said anything? Wasn't that Tim Jernigan's school? Just curious...

g8r925 · 02-03-2012, 12:17 PM

Yep the Ol kid from Lake City is Jernigan's Cousin. And he hasn't given any indication as to where he is headed.

UF leads...he grew up liking the Gators, lives right around the corner, and mom works at Shands. FSU will battle with us though because his cousin is Jernigan and his coach is a Nole lover.

Gatorules · 02-03-2012, 01:23 PM

SUG, well I guess the other two kids didn't commit. Hearing anything today?

You have to think they were asked to wait until the Diggs decision.

No one else?

rjp4u · 02-03-2012, 01:43 PM

Thanks for the information on the Lake City OL...I would be excited he is a gator lean, but so was Tim Jernigan and he ended up at FSU. I hope we get him...

What are the other OL's the Gators are in on? Any heavy leans?

I see now that he was kidding. Sorry to have railed into him like that but he didn't leave any smilies to indicate he was ribbin'. No harm done I hope.

I still think he's a Gator too.

Sorry to have railed on you, and I see you were kidding now, but I didn;t see a smilie in your other post and thought it was trolling.

The_Graygator · 02-03-2012, 02:07 PM

Heard something via e-mail from a friend in Tally that there are some nolie fans who are not happy with Jaquez Green at Lincoln. Heard that some people have complained since the Hearnes commitment to UF.

That is the way it is looking. It would be great if he could pull that off in Florida.

Both are physical, Alabama type LBs
