Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[SLICKYINC]

No I mean we sign a bunch of 3 stars while our rivals rack up with the 4 and 5 stars just putting us further behind

Lulz, you really didn't have to respond to me saying the same dumb stuff again. I saw the first 3 times you posted it.

 

[jakez4ut]

Signing a handful of decent players with a bunch of 3 stars added in. Getting the big dogs on camous but not closing with them. Theyre just using a visit because they have it yeah same song and dance

you do realize the kids you're saying he didn't close, were committed to other schools? and that every player that signed today, was committed here, and not one left the class?

at some point, there at least has to be an acknowledgement about the players that did sign. this class won't be defined by the ones that didn't.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

I remember when Jesse Scroggins teased us. Turned out we didn't miss much.

 

[SugarCC]

@SugarCC this is the type you were referring to .

Absolutely, BC. He is exactly one of the people I am talking about; although, I'm not fully convinced checkerboards isn't a troll.

 

[JacketVol]

To be fair, you're opinion on who we could have got doesn't make it true.

Any fan that thinks this staff isn't putting in the work to recruit is completely blind.

Thanks for rational thought and posting but you have not posted much and K. Brown wanted to be here and we slowed played him and he is an outstanding prospect and we did the same thing to Javonta. We did the same thing to Anderson and he then told us he was coming and then signed with USC because he wasn't slow played by them. I do know a few things that are true. You don't have to believe them nor AV either. I don't have his connections but know who he is and what he does and actually have some myself. Gotta hand it to the staff to go for the big wins but they didn't win any of those today and lost out on some guys they eventually wanted but didn't get.

Florida has jumped us

Surely Wanya can count as 1 big dog.

Considering the state of our program right now and for the last decade, what CJP is doing with recruiting is a small miracle. This class is going to end up way better than what should be realistically expected. Some of yall have lost your minds.

 

[millst987]

Just feels like we are falling further behind right now

 

[butchna]

Thanks for paying me attention. I greatly appreciate it.

Uncle butchna will never abandon you, like the rest of society!

 

[delfonic]

I got a bold 2019 prediction for y'all. Josh Palmer improves as much from his SO to JR year as he did from his FR to SO years and becomes Robert Meachem 2.0.

 

[head1]

Florida has jumped us

Wright and Gray will move us ahead of them but still to even be close is embarassing. Mehlen is a terrible recruiter.

 

[VEKZY]

In the end, we'll be fine. I don't have an issue with the way the signing day is going. Getting some key pieces that we need, who cares about the team ranking or how anyone else is doing.

In my opinion, we are still trying to rebuild to the point where we can beat Vandy/UK/SCar consistently, we shouldn't be worried about out-recruiting Georgia and Bama.

I think people should temper expectations in general for right now. Heard to many people throwing around top 5 class, etc. And these same people make excuses for why it didn't happen, and double down by committing to the next lofty expectation they can come up with.

Exactly. Can’t wait until tomorrow when these idiots are back in the FF

 

[Vols410]

And even after today's "Lakeland Trio", Florida's highest ranked recruit is 136 in the composite. Still behind Keyton, and well behind Wanya/Wright/Crouch.

 

[butchna]

Nobody has real access unless they are actually part of the staff in some capacity tbh. Most of the stuff is just here say from people that work for UT in other roles or media friends.

What does the mortgage on that glass house run ya?

 

[DD4ME]

Just feels like we are falling further behind right now

Behind who? Can we please start by simply worrying about teams that have not played for a NC in the last 2 years?

 

[VEKZY]

Uncle butchna will never abandon you, like the rest of society!

Everyone needs that creepy uncle right?

 

[BearCat204]

If youre ok with mediocrity then cool

So not acting like a petulant child is being ok with mediocrity? “Cool”

 

[JacketVol]

If we land Wright/Crouch/Gray:

2019 Pruitt

2 5-stars​

9 4-stars​

13 3-stars​

268.46 points​

90.22 average​

​

2007 Saban

0 5-stars​

8 4-stars​

16 3-stars​

241.78 points​

87.81 average​

The fact that we're coming off 2-14 in the SEC the last two years and doing as well as we are is impressive. Even Saban didn't recruit like Saban coming off of his first 7-6 year.
The 90.22 average would also be the highest for us since 2009, we've majorly beefed up our biggest position of need at OL, added some JUCO stopgaps for the DL, and have gotten a solid player at every position on the field. Use this to solidify our place above Kentucky/Vandy/USCe/Mizzou and work from there.

Good post. Overall it appears they did well but they could've done better with some spots where they swung bigger. It is what it is.

 

[jwilliams]

I hear you guys, just pointing it out... can’t stand Florida. I want to beat them at everything.

 

[JacketVol]

If we finish with wright , gray , and crouch we will rank #9. Chill out people

That would be great. Top 10 is what we need and hoping this staff would accomplish.

When dealing with HS seniors I feel like if they wanted to be here then they would sign, regardless of how much they were or were not recruited. The staff is only so large and they're chasing recruits all over the country, because unfortunately as Anderson proved a kid's word isn't worth much. If they don't sign then you gotta stay on the road chasing other options.

Posting frequency doesn't equate to credibility either, keep that in mind. We're all just sharing opinions and thoughts.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

We were all making fun of UF and they have jumped us on the 247 recruiting rankings. Yay...

Do you want to swap classes with Florida? Be happy with the class that we have....

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Surely Wanya can count as 1 big dog.

1 isnt going to get us anywhere.
