I met Coach Pease one time, & we never formed a good relationship, because I didn't get the opportunity to really speak with him. He showed Ahmad some game film when he was @ Boise State. I don't know where you're getting your info. from, but I barely know the man.
You're right, though, about Nick Washington--he was the Univ. of FL's top salesman, & sold the program to Ahmad.

Jaggator, apparently you have been misinformed lol. Welcome Ahmad and Ahmad's mother. Go Gators!
Great frame, great athlete, skilled receiver. I don't think either of the guys we missed on this year are as complete a package. I'm just ecstatic to have Ahmad on board. Excited to have his mom here too. Let's all mind our manners.

Thankfully, the program's education/location/WR depth chart/coaching staff/etc should have made Washington's "job" a lot easier. I'm sure over this next year (and ultimately, the next 4-5 years) you'll get to know the coaches well. Welcome to the Gator Nation!

Absolutely agree on all points.
A big Gator welcome to Ahmad, his mother, and all of his family.
Wow great pickup! Pease is going to deliver on offense, let's get Coley and Cooper Bateman and this will be a sick WR class. Fulwood is going to tear it up in Pease's offense.
Here's an interview with Ahmad.....absolutely CLASSY kid, very well spoken, and reminds me of one of my really good friends. Glad to have him aboard!
He seems like a great kid and I was really shocked with him committing so early because prior interviews did not have us in his top 5 and he was planning on making a commitment after all his officials. Needless to say I'm extremely happy we managed to get back into the running AND land him so early...I'm excited to see what he can do at UF.

Thanks for the link. What an incredibly polished presence he has! I swear this guy is going to be working on television after his playing career is over (which won't be for a very long time).
This is a HUGE pick-up. Fulwood is the missing piece to this offense, along with a big physical running back, which I believe we also have in this class.
Fulwood reminds me a little bit of Julio Jones. Particularly that neither seems to look like they are moving as fast as they really are. They make it look very effortless.

Good looking kid. Smart, poised, very comfortable in front of the camera. He's my favorite in this class now. Like that he goes to Bishop Kenny. They don't tolerate any nonsense there and most kids that go there were raised right to begin with. Strong college prep curriculum. Big, tall, fast and great hands. What else can you ask for?
Very much how Calvin Johnson looked like when he was in college. Looked like he was just jogging but he was just running by everyone.
Fulwood, at least at this point, is not as big or as fast as Calvin Johnson.
Fulwood is currently listed a 4.47 40 where Johnson was listed as 4.5 coming out of HS. Johnson is listed now at 4.35 in the 40. But Johnson was a little taller and was about 15 lbs. heavier than Fulwood coming out of HS. Johnson is now listed at 6'5" and 236 lbs.
But the deceptiveness of his speed does look similar. But the funny thing is that at GT, Johnson rarely ever ran by people, mostly because they didn't have a QB capable of throwing the ball more than 40 yards and they had no accuracy at all. More often than not, the QB would just chuck a ball up in the air and Johnson would just go up and get it.
The thing that in my opinion makes Johnson so special is that he has always had incredible body control. It remains to be seen if Fulwood has that or not.
Wouldn't expect a highschool player to be as fast as his NFL counterpart.
But if Fulwood's speed is anywhere close to 4.47 now ... watch out!
That was my point. Fulwood is actually faster than Johnson was coming out of HS, but smaller. But for Johnson his speed really wasn't what made him great. It was his size and body control.
