2026 Gators Recruiting Thread

Forkpa Crystal Ball to Florida.

 

It's shaping up to be a nice week.

 

If we get Morris and Forkpa.
Done at LB?

 

You might just be a little too hung upon stars. We have a very good balanced roster. Thin in a couple of places but a solid team. If we get good coaching and can stay healthy we should be able to swing with anybody

 

Id like to think so tooo and so do the next five sec teams after those three but chances are, those three are still ahead of everyone else and while their coaches are good , i dont think thats whats going to separate them. Recruiting rankings do take into account merely stars but they end up fairly accurate on most occasions. Id rather have 5 5*'s than zero and 20 on the roster instead of 5. It makes a huge difference.

 

If we return a kickoff or punt for a td I believe I may actually breakdown in tears. I may sob if we even make it past the 40 on a kickoff....the bar is real damn low on special teams so please just give us something. Even something as simple as a blocked punt or a blocked field goal is a giant improvement.

We also need to see 7 instead of 3 when we get inside the 20....gotta close the drive with a td this year.

 

If we can get the right number of players on the field I will be happy. That might be asking a lot from this staff, but I can dream.

 

Expect so and I wouldn't be disappointed that 2 is all.

 

Looking pretty good for this to happen and I would be happy like Kryptonite. I am SO HAPPY that the nightmare of tamu and LSU running trap draws 30 times a game and UF being unable to stop it, appears to be over. No disrespect to previous players but UF went from really struggling at this position to having one of the better units in the SEC.

 

That kid that was having to play basically middle linebacker against LSU is playing in the NFL isn't he? Just that dip shit Grantham not having the right players and putting them where they're supposed to be. That kid just was not a middle linebacker type.

 

Seems enough if we play 2 LBs most of the time. A third might be based on how well we do at filling other positions. Ty Jackson is listed at 215, Myles Johnson not listed on Spring roster. Anyone know if Johnson is in practicing or scheduled to arrive?

We have a two deep for the season but not much behind Graham Chiles Howard Robinson.

 

Yep we are an injury away from having true freshman in a couple spots but most teams are just that way now.

 

How do you feel about our LB depth and if we take only two are you good with Malik and Forkpa?

 

You caught me there Wanne, I should never underestimate the damage that Grantham brought to UF football, which I did in my post.
Less of a player(s) issue and more of whom was calling the defense.

 

Yep, some would say that guys just not an SEC linebacker, but that's some BS. He's an NFL linebacker, but he needs to be on the edge. We do have those inside linebackers now, though that can tackle people in the hole.

 

Anyone know if Brandon James has a kid in H.S.? I would start there..................
