    With the commitment of JJ Perez on Sunday, who might join him in the 26 class along the DL. As of today, and we all know in today's NIL driven recruiting that things are more fluid than ever, these are my top picks for who is most likely to join Perez.

    Vodney Cleveland
    JaReylan McCoy
    Valdin Sone
    James Johnson
    Jake Kreul
    Darryus McKinley

    Add 3 off that list and be happy, and I think UF will.

    I would really like 3 NT types, 2 SDE/DE, an Edge. Time to stack it up. To me, the portal is unreliable.

    My least favorite would be James Johnson, but only because his name is just too normal.

    I would add Guervil and Golden to that list. I don't think there recruitment are finished, they have really liked UF, and they would be great additions. Chapman is doing a monster job putting us in good positions with these interior DL. We will just have to be patient.

    No problem for me on either. I think this will shake out a bit after the June visits.

    I vote poaching the good ones and recruiting number one clases every year. That should do it. Our competition will.

    Think he was referring to being a mental patient?

    What is the over/under on a particular DL player still being on this team when fall arrives? Would, out of necessity, impact DT recruiting priority.

    It’s when they give you a lumpy bed, a catheter, and tell you to cough.
