Chuck Heater is going to see Dawson tonite. Looks like this is going to heat up between UF and UT for Dawson. If this kid commits to Cats over either school...guess they are holding the whole family at gun point.

Wouldn't surprise me if that actually happens. How else do you think UK kept Tim Couch in-state?

After 4 games, Lamar's stats are:

42 tackles (I don't know how many sacks are of those)

3 Interceptions for 79 yards and one touchdown.

He also has been making plays on offense.

"I really like Coach Strong personally and how he coaches," Dawson remarked. "He just gets good players in and he's trying to build Louisville up. We have just been building a relationship

"He's just saying I could be the guy in the middle and he could turn me into a Brandon Spikes, like Spikes was at Florida," Dawson said. "That's a plus for them."

"I'm going to take all five officials and decide late," Dawson confirmed. "It will probably be closer to Signing Day."

Would LOVE to have this guy. Are we really in it for him or what? We need stud LBs. A.J. Johnson is 1, but I'm not sure about the guys we have coming back. King can't stay on the field (health), Thorton and Askew can't get on the field, Lathers, well I get this feeling that he's gonna remain this big athletic dude full of untapped potential. He has played long enough and should understand simple things like keeping containment, IMO. If he don't get it by now, not sure he's gonna. JMO guys. As another blogger put on here last week, we are FEELING the pain of losing Michael Taylor. I do think John Probst will be decent, but we need a world beater.

I think the staff wants him bad he is likely the #1 LB on their board now. Last i saw we were in top 7, it seems like right now may be a UF/UK Battle. We are still in it and have a chance.

I think you have Lathers confused with another player. He is only a sophomore, and he has 11 career starts so he's not exactly super experienced.

He's also listed as 6'0" and 217 lbs. "Big athletic dude" is a huge stretch.

I think UF is in a great position to snag Dawson, and UK won't let him get away easily. I like that we are still trying, just hope it's not a lost cause.

I think we sign Shazier,Grant,Anthony and Turene flips from USC maybe one more comes into play later but Dawson seems to leaning towards staying instate. I think C Strong has a good chance of pulling the kid.

you guys have to remeber that UF is coming off one of the better runs in college football plus Meyer has been recruiting many of these players for 2-3 seasons. Many relationship have already been in place.....damn, give Dooley time to establish an accord with players and HS coaches.

We don't need that kind of logic around here.

Pretty sad that a Gator fan and Bama fan are more realistic and intelligent than 99% of the posters on this board.

We are going to have to be patient as fans ther is no way that Dooley or anyones else is going to dig out of the hole that UT is in over night. It's going to take time. We should see some improvement next couple of year with more player developement and playing experience but we will not back to UT standards for several years.

Dawson was picked to play in the Army All-American game.

"I like [the recruiting process]," he said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing."

Dawson listed a top seven, in no order, of Kentucky, Louisville, Tennessee, Florida, Michigan, Oregon and Southern California.

"I went to Oregon on an official (visit for the Stanford game)," he said. "That was really nice, and I went to the Florida-LSU game (in Gainesville). That was a great atmosphere. I'm going to the Kentucky-Georgia game (on Oct. 23)."

Dawson said Thursday that he grew up a Kentucky fan but that he doesn't expect that to play a big factor in his decision, nor will distance from home.

"I don't get too much pressure," he said. "Different people tell me different things.

"... Just about every day everybody is asking me where I'm going. I'm used to it by now."

"I think he's probably narrowed it down to three or four schools now," French said. "What those three or four schools are, nobody knows except for Lamar Dawson. He's handled this situation pretty well for a 17-year-old kid. He takes our talk about it, then he'll form his own opinion and do what's best for him. I think that's the best choice for him to make."

Just saw Dawson play last night, him and Boyle Co. destroyed our hometown team. He was clearly bigger and more athletic than anyone else on the field. Just about single-handedly shut down our inside run game, and he shed blocks so easily. They had him lining up at TE and even as a running back and a slot receiver, too. He broke off a 37 yard run at one point...all this basically to say, he's really good.
