'10 FL S Demar Dorsey

Sorry but I may be in the minority here in the fact I like Dorsey better than Elam. Elam is a stud no doubt but Dorsey has unreal speed and speed that we do not have at all on this roster and if he can be coached up, he can be something special.
 
His speed is off the charts, but he's kind of a tweener and is a very raw player. I do like him quite a bit though...
 
I think it's funny to watch the Gator faithful start saying that they now have better prospects on the board, yet when they took his commitment, he was the best thing since sliced bread with his speed. This guy can make a difference on the field anywhere he is positioned.

With all due respect isn't that what they said about Vinson?
 
Does Dorsey have any serious interest?

Dorsey has some interest, but only IF he gets here, he will show something other than passing interest at best. It's kinda like window shopping in recruiting, if you can get a recruit to come inside and see what you got because of your window display, chances are you make the sell.

It's an official visit. He's coming.

Officials mean just about as much as unofficials, except the fact that you have to pay for the unofficial. You still have to have the kid get on the plane to come here. There is no guarantee that he shows up.
 
I don't see him not coming after his official has been payed for...

You and a fellow gator poster talked about a "surprise" UF commit that may be wavering (paraphrasing) is Dorsey that recruit? Can't find anything on the gatorboards except for him saying he's 100% Gator and being done with recruiting(which may be a month old). Do you think this has anything to do with Riley and maybe Tony Jefferson wanting to visit?

I don't know who the Gator guy was talking about. I think Elam is still wavering but that's jmo...

I've always felt Dorsey would end up somewhere besides UF. Back in the spring he talked about how he didn't like UFs depth chart/DB commits and was going to look around. Since then, he's said he's all Gator, but that doubt is still in his mind. I don't think UT would take his commitment right now (but they might due to his speed and huge upside). I think we have alot of DBs ahead of him. He could end up at WVU or FSU...
 
I don't necessarily think that it's some conspiracy against UF with Kiffin doing his best to negative recruit against you all. I simply think that now, more than any time in the Fulmer era, UT is pursuing elite talent that you guys are pursuing as well. You can't fault Kiffin for being a good salesman and selling the state of our program versus yours. Everyone knows that FL has tremendous depth especially on the defensive side of the ball, whereas TN is working to get to that point and can sell early playing time. Some of your early commits are finally starting to realize this and it obviously works in our favor. Kiffin is a very calculated coach but I don't think he is deliberately trying to sabotage your class, he's simply competing, which is the mantra he's repeated since his hire. Now if we happen to make things difficult for one of our rivals in the process...I guess that's just icing on the cake.:p

Naw Kiffin is trying to mess with CUM a little.

Agreed - I think we'd need to miss on Wright, T-Rex, Elam, Dixon, and Riley

I don't know...a guy like that could be a WEAPON on special teams even if he isn't a premier db right away. I'm not sure they would tell him to hold off.
 
Cooper is a safety though, Dorsey is that NB that you have to account for every passing play.

NB? You mean CB?

Rivals lists both as Safeties, and if I were picking a Safety between the two I would pick Cooper and not even think twice. Dorsey can play both the CB and S positions where Cooper is limited to just S on Defense so it's hard to compare as DBs, but just as far as Safeties, i'd take Cooper.

Now, I'm probably biased because I've spoken to Cooper on numerous occasions and think he's a really good kid.

I'm was referring to Dorsey being a nickelback type CB. Being in that rover spot where you have to keep up with him more. I don't like him as a cover corner though, he has the speed to keep up, but I see him as a freelancer than can get burned as well.

He can't play nickle all the time though, only on certain plays. Maybe as a freshman, but eventually he is going to have to pick between CB and S.

If we play more of a Cover 2 he could. Your right though, man to man means he is going to have to pick a spot or be placed. I would rather see him at a CB if I had to pick. Would love to see Corey Cooper and Jackson as our safeties of the future.
