It's going to be hard to judge until 2011. I will give UT a pass for this year and even next year. I think 2011 will be the big year for you guys. We won't know much until then.
So when is it going to start? Urban has been at UF for 5 years now and he continues to get elite offensive talent. At what point will we begin to see recruits go somewhere else?
You and I both know that we will continue to get amazing talent. We are Florida and that's just the way it is.
Your offense isn't "elite" this year. Your total O avg is pumped by your OOC cream puffs. Your total O vs SEC opponents is a pretty pedestrian 382 ypg.
Your scoring O vs the SEC drops 10 pts to about 25 ppg. Most of the SEC is in that range.
If I were recruiting against UF it would go something like this: "They've gotten some of the best players in the country and what are they doing with them? Their O against conference opponents is avg. They still can't run effectively without Tebow getting large numbers of carries. Their WR's are underutilized.... and they don't play a system that's going to prepare you well for the NFL. At UT, our staff and system are going to make draft picks out of guys this year who wouldn't have had a chance a few months ago."
UF will get recruits. They are the home state school for one of the country's largest concentrations of talent... But FSU and Miami with pro-style systems will eventually get back to splitting that talent along with raiders from other states.
I don't think you guys will ever be without talent but the ebb and flow of CFB pretty much predicts you won't stay has high as you've been for the past few years.
Florida has no first day draft picks at the skill positions you chump. Tebow may be a FB, but that is it. No wideouts or backs. Moody could not hack it at NFL U, and Demps or Rainey would get their sternums cracked in the league. Your wideouts are embarassing the likes of Quezzy, Jack Jackson, R. Anthony, Ike Hilliard and so on. Now that we have Kiffin (and this is coming from one of the biggest Fulmerite's there are) Florida may never be better than us at any spot on the field! We are not frightened in the least. Brantley better be really good, that's all I'm going to say.

While Moody hasn't played all that much at UF he didn't leave USC because he couldn't hack it. As a true freshman he started multiple games for USC, but got hurt. He left USC because of the atmosphere, not because he wasn't good enough.
As for talking about the wideouts of the past, that really is irrelevant. Meyer had nothing to do with those guys, they were coached under Spurrier. It would be like saying Kiffin won't prepare you to be successful for the NFL because of something Fulmer did. We have yet to produce great NFL talent on the offensive side of the ball, but I would look more at OL than WR under Meyer. Currently, Andre Caldwell, Louis Murphy, and Harvin have all performed pretty well this year in the NFL though they all still have a long way to go before they have made it in the NFL.
Overall though, I want guys that win games for us in college. If they don't go on to have great NFL careers then too bad, but I will take National Championships and the knock that maybe we aren't the best preparation for the NFL over, getting guys to the NFL but failing to get national championship wins.
Take USC for example, there is a pretty high correlation between these two RG :good!:
I agree. I am just saying that if I was forced to have one or the other I will take the one that results in National Championships. I don't believe the statement that we won't prepare kids to get to the NFL, because it has only been 4 years going on 5 that Urban has been here. You need a much higher sample size before any correlation can be drawn. Now that Meyer has been here 4+ years, he has his recruits on the team so if he doesn't get them to the NFL then I am fine with the statement that we don't prepare kids for the NFL. I just think you need 10-15 years before you can make the statement. If in 15 years all the guys that came out of Florida perform poorly in the NFL then it is more likely that we have not prepared them the best to succeed in the NFL, but right now it is too early IMO.
While Moody hasn't played all that much at UF he didn't leave USC because he couldn't hack it.
And he left because the guy who was supposed to be the next Reggie Bush was coming in. He saw the writing on the wall and split. I know he said he didn't like the atmosphere, but what do you expect? "I'm a wuss and was afraid I was gonna spend the next 3 years on the bench."
Its kind of like when you guys lose out on Green, Luc or whoever. The official party line will be, "We stopped recruiting them because they're not that good, don't fit our system, have bad attitude, etc."
Everyone knows the truth, but you have to say something to save face.
I agree with this, way too many Gator fans just say oh we didn't want him which is total crap. We definitely want both Green and Luc, they may not be the top player on our board at either position but we most certainly want them on our team. For example, Nukeese nobody can convince me that we did not want him, we did but you guys got him as recruiting goes some of the time.
I also agree with the earlier poster that said 70/30 UT leads for Chaz. Both teams are going to fight for him til the end but I see the UT connections winning at the end.

One of my friends is a Gator fan and he thinks UGA fans are the worst. Cocks fans are bad too. I mean...How can you talk trash when you have absolutely nothing to brag about.
