| Barton Simmon's on the Gator's '10 Class
Thought this was interesting and it deserved it's own thread: Quote: |

| Better words have never been spoken!
But I thought the Gators didn't want any of our guys and they only offer the best of the best?!?!

| I have wondered what kind of damage it would do to Florida's recruiting classes with Coach Kiffin coming in ripping recruits out of Florida left and right, and not just the one that sign with us, but the ones we make them fight extra hard to get where in the past it may not have been much of a battle. Just looking at this year, sure would be nice if Brown, and Elam had nothing to do with us. Where would Ambles, and Thompkins have gone if it weren't us? I wonder how much easier it would be for Florida to land names like Luc, Green, Dunkley, and Jones. Granted I know they are going to land their share but I do believe as Coach Kiffin increases our talent he is diminishing the talent of the gaytors. | |

| What doesn't he like? The talent level or are they just a bunch of thugs? Or is it something else?

You guys are actually putting more of a hurt on FSU and Miami right now. We are still getting some amazing Florida talent. | |

| Well they updated their rankings just 2 weeks ago though. It just doesn't add up. I think his feelings are already factored into the rankings. For example, Jon Dowling dropped from a high Rivals-100 player all the way to a 3-star. | |

| LV forgot to put in that later in the same post Simmons thought UF would bring in more talent than ours than that theirs could be scary.
