This staff wants to win NOW, it would seem, with all of these JUCO offers.

I think the JUCO's are to get talent in and allow the next year or 2 of true freshman to learn the offense and train and get ready for SEC football. I believe also it allows the coaches to show off their coaching talent early and only have to worry about the JUCO's for 2 years hell even 1 if they go pro.

In other words, winning NOW.

Yes but winning now could leave the door open to people worrying about years afterwards. By stating my point it shows a reason besides just winning. not trashing you, just giving literature to your comment.

Unless proven otherwise, it should be a given that the staff is doing everything they can to win as much as possible, as soon as possible.

That said, 2011 is still the aiming point for putting together a contender.

These JUCO's won't show up until 2010 and barriing something freaky, this entire unit isn't going to mesh together well enough to be a contender until they get some game experience together.

I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure that he tried to commit, but not sure if UF is ready to accept. For some reason, they seem to be slow tracking him.

He'll be in the gators class, but not until Rogers or Ambles make the call for us, IMO. We will take 2 big HS recievers before we take this kid and I think that is why he cooled for now.

For some reason, I can't see Ambles as a Gator. Prima donna and a little on the slower side.

Great hands though and a smooth route runner.
