Another year another ****ing travesty on signing day.

We'll never be elite. We'll never be back.

This is the U. 15th ranked recruiting classes every year and 9 wins. That's our ceiling now.

3 4 stars on signing Day, yeah this is terrible. Quit whining

The 4 CBs we wanted all got plucked by the Gators. All ****ing 4 of them.
Yeah this is terrible. CB was our biggest position of need aside from OL and we ****ing whiffed on all our top prospects. Don't give me "we got bandy and Dean". You need more than that to be an elite team. You need to stack elite players every year and not lose your top targets to ****ing UF, one of your biggest in state rivals. If you think Henderson and Edwards are "no big deal" then you simply accept mediocrity.

Bandy and Dean signed with us not the gaytors, stfu *** clown. Who are the 4? Edwards isn't elite and Henderson is dvd2, stop whining *****

Solid but disappointing class. Very golden-esque. Some good players and one or two elite ones but got played when the money was on the line by the elite prospects: Smith, McFarland, Henderson, etc. B- class. Projected win total: 9. Not nearly good enough.

A top 10-15 recruiting class is a B-?

Pete,

Are you hearing anything about Thomas and possibly going to Oregon. Some **hole on Rivals said that he is probably leaning there now.

You'll find out in thirty min

Can't for the life of me figure out why those 2 are going to uf instead of Miami.
They see the field immediately at Miami. Plus Miami is going to be real good real soon.

Florida signed 5 DB's last year and they have 4 already committed this year. They are DB commits #5 and #6 this year.
That's a crowded position.

No matter how you slice it, it's a HUGE miss by Miami's coaches not to get at least 1 of these guys.
Very disappointing.

What happened to that impressive lineup of silent commits that were told to hold off until signing day for maximum impact?

Click to expand...

McFarland was one of them

Yes I know and I'm certain Edwards and Herderson were also in that group. 3 guys two from South Florida that used UM like a scholarship placeholder tampon.

This is a solid class overall. Unfortunately, we've been pulling "solid" classes for the past 10 years now. Look where it's gotten us.

THis is a fail by Richt and staff no matter what way you slice it.

Right...And how much money have you donated to the program to match my 5k (including 2k for the IPF) in the past five years? I'll wait.

I like our OL and DL classes alot. Nice to have some beasts in the trenches.

This...lost in the shuffle of negativity focused on these two average DBs is this class addressing our biggest need IMO. This OL class will set us up for the future. Donaldson, Hillary, Herbert, Gaynor, and Dykstra!! This is still a great class...

Just make sure to close Thomas.

I woul love Pete's or @EricMarrero input on why CJ Henderson is trolling Miami fans by tweeting positive Miami type stpuff when everyone knows he's at **** now?

It's just really a punk move to do your hometown team like that. Picking those hillbillies is one thing, trolling the locals is some low class shīt.

I could understand going to Bama or LSU.

The f'in Gatah? Dumpster fire of a program. Someone should email both of those kids tapes of the SEC Championship Game.

It'd be stupid of coaches not to try to build hype right before signing day. That ****es you off? Grow a pair. They are doing it for the recruits not for the fans.

Bandy is the best corner out of Columbus imo but hendersons speed is an asset.
