short synopsis of each Gator commitment?
for those of us that don't follow recruiting as closely as we should, can anyone offer a short 2 or 3 line summary of each of this year's committments? or, add your thoughts on the players in 2013 class you do know something about?

I am going to do one in the next week for the offensive and then the defensive side. It will have "the good" "'the bad" and projections for playing time. Of course this will be in my non expert opinion

There should never be a "Bad" attached to Gator recruits...it solves nothing and can create problems for the coaches who have worked hard to get players. If you do some sort of list jst make it positive...true for non-experts.

It is not going to create any problems for the staff I might not write "bad" but it is not going to be all great news where people think they are getting the Patriots.

Nobody thinks the incoming class will make us the Patriots, nor is anyone concerned about how it impacts the site staff - The point he made is that is that denigrating an 18 year old kid won't add anything of value to a thread, not least as you can't know for sure how recruits will work out yet. I agree with ofmgator, it's not that a point wouldn't be valid, it's that it's unnecessary - the way you phrased your initial response sounded like it would be some sort of subheading for categorisation!
Thank you in advance for your write up though - your input is appreciated.

I'll appreciate the insight, AZ. I don't think you will put anything that will be controversial. Just point out aspects of the recruit that can be improved during his time at UF, right?

It will basically be what they are good at, what place they don't excel, where they need to improve to get on the field and when they should see the field.
So Kelvin Taylor-
1.great vision balance and build amazing jump cut for age
2 not the fastest back in the world but has adequate speed
3 needs to learn the play book and pick up blocking schemes
4 expect him to see the field day 1 but he wont start
It will be a little more in depth in paragraph form

That's a lot different from "the bad"...
Looking forward to the analysis...
