I'm not going to lie when we first started recruiting him & he only had offers from Troy, Auburn, & Tennessee I was a little worried about his skill set but apparently the reason he did'nt have alot of offers were because schools were waiting on his grades & now he will def be an EE so thats why Florida, Ole Miss, ect.. have offered & come on strong the past two weeks.

Do you think us getting in early with him has to help us in the long run?

Jmo, how strong are the talks between UF and Lanier? I asked the guys over on 247 and they didn't know much about his recruitment with UF. The JUCO guys were Moore, Daimion Stafford and Ivan Nicholas.

I honestly dont know, I thought Tennessee & Troy were the only 2 schools he was looking at for the past month but apparently other schools were waiting on his grades to make sure he would be an EE & now that he will be all the other schools came calling. Hubbs said in the new VQ article going over our OV's this weekend that Florida could be a player for Lanier.

But nothing was mentioned about Moore looking at Florida. Off the top of my head I dont think he has scheduled a visit to UF as of now, right now it's Oregon State, Tennessee, Washington getting visits. With Ohio State, LSU, Miami trying to get in.

Moore was set for an OV until the coaches spoke with him and to his coach. From my understanding they got the feel he was leaning towards staying on the LC maybe that's when talks with Lanier began. It just seems strange that none of our recruiting guys have much info.

I remember you saying that HG, Ole Miss coaches went & met with Moore & the Ole Miss scout site said that after they met with him they get the feel Tennessee is the team to beat.

LOL I wondered the same thing. Again, some in this fanbase have totally unrealistic expectations for freshman. What he did this year at corner was outstanding for a freshman in this league. Plus he got better and better as the season went along.

Freshman dont just step on to campus in the SEC and play like a mature junior and senior from the get-go. It's unbelievable to me that people actually expect that.

Four star syndrome. Any kid with a good rating and offer list is expected to come in and take the job of the player that had an equally good rating and offer list yet didn't make all conference as a FR or SO and therefore "busted". Nearly every player thread four star or above has at least a few "he will start as a freshman" posts....and it was the same way even when we weren't so thin.

Have a friend who lives in Laniers Home town. He said he was a stud athelete, but not sure he can qualify academically.

That's the opposite of what everyone is saying, the insiders on here say he'll be a EE or at the very least be here in May. Speaking of which, if he is an EE doesn't he sign his LOI on the 15th?

Yes I'm pretty sure he will have to sign Dec 15th hence why all the visits within the next 2 weeks. Hubbs said as long as Lanier doesnt completely bomb his finals then he will be an EE.

I guess people are holding expectations too high (or just have unrealistic expectations of our team given the circumstances). Gordon has decent size for a guy his height, hes physical, and athletic. Let him learn the game.

Agree. Gordon's biggest problem both as a CB and as a k.o. receiver is that he is sometimes too aggressive --as a CB, he lets himself become committed too quickly in coverage and he "bites" on fakes by the receiver.

Dooley at one time said that we needed much more aggression in our DB's, so that is not all bad. He is a first year player and we need to give him some time to learn the ropes of his position.
