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.

Because there's no blowback from the spineless communities that these punks live in. Jesuchristo, look at how many phony Canes fans we have on this board alone. To expect anything more from the "hometown" is a joke. Only once a kid FEARS doing this **** will we ever truly be "back".

One of the most arrogant and stupid things they've done. I hope they realize it in the building.
Not a good idea to have a look at me victory lap before you cross the finish line.

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 *****

Where the **** did I say Bandy and Dean sign with the Gators? I'm referring to the top prospects we had remaining on our board, ini.

Honestly the "watch the finish" is causing more of and uproar from us fans .. if that wasnt mentioned people wouldnt be so ****sed

It didn't help that we had they comin a week ago either. We all knew Edwards and hendy wouldnt come two weeks ago but they comin got everyone hyped

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.

They comin came from here not coaches. Idc about the watch the finish bc were still closing w a number of four stars on nsd. The problem is we follow recruiting closely compared to most on twitter.

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.

Don't get me wrong, if you're playing at the Doak against that defense, you need to make sure your QB doesn't lose a tooth.

The staff has done really well here.

CB is still a huge need though.

he's talking about the hype that was built for the two by the cis writers, not the coaches.

This board is full of fxgxts.... U all cry and bxtch over anybody that doesn't commit. When has a school gotten every commit they're after at any point clowns??

UM is going to get Thomas, Harley, Dean, Herbert and whoever else which would just be icing on the cake.

But it doesn't matter bc [MENTION=3894]Peter Ariz[/MENTION] got you clowns wrapped up like the bxtches y'all are so tight as soon as he makes a post about two dB's not coming, bc he didnt know what the fck he was talking about in the 1st place, you ***'s start bxtchn and moaning like clock work

This board is unreadable and its crazy how the admins just let the shx turn into a cesspool I guess that's the intent lol in

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.

Half of our class are immediate impact players, just like last class. I'm not saying half are starters next year, but will play roles. That in itself is a solid class. Things are different now that Alfred is gone. Previous classes were not solid. We had 2-3 impact players and the rest were flyers.

I'm not a Gator fan, but why was everyone on here bashing their recruiting class and program? They are right behind us right now in the 247 ranks and could potentially finish ahead of us by the end of the day. Doesn't seem like a dumpster fire to me. Sucks man.
