Why every year does it seem like UF/FSU add a 4+ star pick totally out of nowhere on NSD and not us?

Their NSD closes **** me off every year. 7 in a row doesn't help either. Hate those s.

I bet Henderson trolled us the entire time! I knew he was playing us long ago. Bandy shoulda spilled the beans early to spoil his goofy ceremony.

Does jeff Thomas not count? We recruited him but wasn't in it until the final month

Bandy should ask him to square up at the ceremony.

I still think herbert needs to get much tougher to play at the physical level richt likes, however i liked him much more than the weirdo slaton who couldnt dominate a 180 pound dlineman in high school.

As long as Thomas commits this class saves face with a B ranking. Henderson or Smith and a 4 star surprise for a solid A. If Thomas goes elsewhere this class quickly becomes a C and jobs need to be re-evaluated.

My dude, we ain't getting Henderson or Smith according to the latest news.

I know. It doesn't change the fact of what this class needs for an A grade. It amazes me that RB U can't pull off a top 20 RB when you can guarantee the guy would get reps for a shot of PT. There's still 3 or so uncommitted. Spare me the don't take a JAG BS.

I'm with you, man. Can't wait for the "I'd rather save the scholarship for next year" brigade to chime in.

While I'm totally grateful for JT - no. I'm talking about guys totally off the radar that come out of the woodwork on NSD ala Marvin Wilson. A legitimate (VALUE) surprise. Not a 3 star reach.

Man, Butch would never be punked by these Miami kids....

Not a slight to Butch, I like the dude. But just goes to show that recruiting in S. FL. is a completely different beast.

This class gives us way more than enough talent to win the coastal. Start going to ACC championship games and top 10 classes wil follow

It's been the same story since Clappy was here. It's hard to count on the south Florida kids with all the games that go on down here. We need to assume these kinds of misses, and target more kids than we think we need. Otherwise we will never have a full roster because 3-4 kids we were expecting to sign wont be here. The only way we ever got close to 85 in the past decade was by signing Joe Browns and Terrance Henleys at the last minute. Just to cut them a year or two later. We have never gotten close to over-signing. Target more talent. Please.

He does if he commits. But FSU's laying the pipe down on the recruiting trail. I'd rather see Marvin Wilson as a Tiger than as a Nole. Deal with him for one year in 2018 rather then every year.

B defensive back grade if only bandy and dean. If we add Henderson A-. At this point it is what it is man. Let's celebrate the kids who are signing to miami

Henderson gone.....We shoulda had a backup plan... Florida goes OOS pulls in a 4* db late then get our last 2 top DB prospects...Yet we try to settle for sfla kids who don't really want to be here....This staff needs to build some OOS relationships as backup plans or look for it to happen again in'18....Everybody keep saying'18 loaded but most of them will prolly do the same $h!+! Bottom line is...we need to get more kids from OOS...Period!
