Dear DJ,
I know you are struggling with your decision. I just want you to know I wish you well wherever you play, but my heart will break for you if you announce Gator. We love you in Tennessee. You would be our hero....
But I watch you and I think you do what it is you do as good as it's ever been done.....
We love Will Muschamp and the brass he has brought to this battle....
But most of us will love you and want well for you. That's just the kind of people that live here in Tennessee. I'm sure your mom's family knows something about that.....
I hope I see you on campus sometime so I can shake the hand of a man that is getting set to play big time NFL ball. You got it in you, bro, you just have to take advantage of all your opportunities. Work your hardest whatever it is you are doing. At Tennessee You will get first team reps your freshman year and there is a real possibility of winning that starting LT job. The longer you do it at a high level, the better your chances are for the millions that come with playing at the next level. We love you DJ.

VolNation is going to blow up with "Dooley can't recruit big time players" and "We didn't need him anyways" threads if we don't land DJ.

Not sure why the Gators are so hot in recruiting especially with the coaching change. We'll see how it plays out.

I think one of the primary benefits has been that we had a rather casual or smooth coaching change, at least as coaching changes go. The transition was relatively drama-free, and thus trauma-free for the program overall.

Usually somebody has been fired for years of poor results and/or some scandal, and those things also damage the program and its brand... none of that happened with UF.

We had a down season, but 8-5 with a bowl win over PSU is only a down season if you just had 3 recent seasons of going 13-1. UGA just went 6-7, yet they're still raking in the talent too.

And then there's the actual coaches who replaced Meyer and Co.. You've got Muschamp, who is a defensive icon/guru who was about to be the HC at the richest program in cfb... taking him from Texas was a coup in itself. Then there's Weis, who didn't make a great HC, but whose credentials as an OC are undeniable... and the 4 Super Bowl rings don't hurt, either. Dan Quinn coached in the NFL for over a decade. Bryant Young went to 4 Pro Bowls and also has a Super Bowl ring. And Frank Verducci also has a decade coaching in the NFL, and was ranked as one of the 10 best college recruiters in the country 4 or 5 times before that. The staff may be unproven as a unit, but their individual accomplishments aren't exactly lame.

I'm sure the way a lot of prospects look at it, who better to guide you to the NFL than a staff full of former NFL players and coaches.

Maybe, but your AD was Mike Hamilton, and he hired a guy with tons of baggage hanging around his neck... should've known better.

UF's AD is Jeremy Foley, whose hires since his tenure as AD started in 1992 (been at UF since 1976 and worked his way up to AD), have netted UF 15 National Championships, 100 SEC Championships, 79 SEC COY awards, the inaugural Men's Capital One Cup, 18 SEC All-Sport's Trophies, and 19 straight Top 10 finishes in the Director's Cup.

for real? i thought skeeter called UT?
Click to expand...

It's like someone else said earlier in the thread.... DJ was probably a lean to UT when we heard from Skeeter. Since then Mo Collins has been likely on his case hard and he's switched back to UF. No new news from Skeeter because he hasn't been told anything new to tell us. Couple this with UF media and board mods hearing that he's solid to UF and this is what we get. It sucks but that's recruiting, right?

That's right, and he didn't even get to finish his 3rd season. He still didn't have a losing season (8-5, 8-5, and 7-4).

I'd say the Meyer hire, as well as the Donovan and O'Sullivan hires in the Big 3 revenue sports, more than made up for Zook.

O'Sullivan was another guy with no prior HC experience, and that one's looking pretty good at this point.

In any event, any way you slice it, Foley's successes outnumber his failures almost to the point that his failures are practically non-existent.
