I am doing something for the 2014 class once I am done with that I will write a breakdown of the 2013 commits if anybody want to have a discussion about it I will if people want to just argue for no reason I am just going to ignore them now

It should be mutual though.

Looking forward to the write up. I usually find a recruit I think will do well and follow him. Purifoy was one and he worked out well. Then Fowler last year. Some saw real potential in Morrison and they were right. This year I've not picked one yet. AZ-what say you?

[GATORAZ]

Example

Octavius Jackson OL

Octavius Jackson is a 6-4 305 lbs tackle out of Georgia who plays for former Hoover high coach Rush Probst. Even though Jackson is already 305lbs he has the frame to probably carry 20 or 30 more lbs comfortably. Jackson biggest asset is his athleticism, for a man his size he can really run. This is vital for the offense Florida has installed this year. Brent Pease has pulled guards often and Jackson should excel in this department at the college level. The downside to Jackson is although he is very athletic he doesn’t have great “feet”. More than his feet he struggles to bend at the knees, so even though he plays tackle in high school it looks like he will move inside to guard once he gets to Gainesville. Florida is loaded across the Oline next year so expect for Jackson to redshirt.

Looks good to me AZ.

Look forward to the rest, AZ.

Thanks, AZ.

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.

So when we have the good the bad and the ugly after each game, is it ok because they are a year older?? It is what it is. If it is done in a respectful way then I see nothing wrong with it. I do not want to hear just the good on our recruits. I would like to know what their weaknesses are also. I am looking forward to what gatorz has to post. These kids are looked up to everywhere they go while in high school. Personally, if I was a player, I would like to know what people thought about my game both good and bad. If these kids cannot take constructive criticism, then they have a long road ahead of them. This may be the reason some of these stars never pan out. They have always heard that they are the best and this and that and when they get to college, they get star struck when they get hit in the mouth or find out they are not as good as everyone as been saying. I guarantee that our coaches tell like it is. If a receiver is lacking in their route running, I am sure they would tell them "Look, you have good speed and hands but your route running needs work. At UF, we will help you fix that to make you the complete receiver".

You're VERY late to the party.

I explained my concern originally when it was phrased about just having the "bad" with no further explanation. GatorAZ put those concerns aside, we all moved on.

Do you feel a bit unloved/Unappreciated?

Are you sure you're not SUGater51?

Hello AZ,

Just checking on the status of this request

I was thinking if it is too time consuming of a task, perhaps you can just do say a few more examples like you did for Octavius Jackson. Like not a ton of examples, maybe say just 22 more examples??? Just so we can get a better flavor of what you are doing.

Thoughts?
