A few things

[theibisrules]

It is pretty tough for the staff to lose Lane, Rudolph, and Dixon. At least one of them and you're feeling pretty good.

Nah...not these mofos...if one of them committed, they would want the rest

[Peter Ariz]

pete you have to add at least a couple of positive notes to balance that **** out

I give you what I have lol. I can't make something up if it's not there.

 

[Gatorhater]

Only one of those WRs was ever coming here--Rudolph. Cook never was but we are un the chase. We have nice WR class and two excellent RBs--would like another but Joe and Brandon are a great pair. The key to this class is the Dline recruits especially DTs. If we hold those three DTs and Chad and Trent this class is a difference maker. One less WR or RB is not that important. What we need out of this class is a Dline and some more playmakers. If Kaaya holds, we have two real qbs to fight it out for the first time in forever. QB and DT is what have been missing.

None of that will matter if our defense can't stop a nose-bleed.

Owens, Chad Thomas, Jackson, Valentine, Trent Harris, Mike Smith, Wyche, Jenkins, and Young don't go a long way towards that?

Maybe in two years but not next. At least we will have the we are young excuse again.

Duval???

 

[Engel114]

Welp.

SMH and this dude KylePuma on twitter was saying that Cook would be a Cane. Pffft

 

[CANE4LIFE]

Dixon was the only guy who we really thought would be ours. Pelon never indicated he was coming here at all, that was always going to be a tough pull. Cook was a pipe dream, and the only reason we got a serious look was because of his friendship with Yearby, but they kid has seemed all along like he wanted to be anywhere but Miami.

IMO its much more important we keep Valentine, Kaaya, get Griffin qualified, and find another safety.

If we can add a kid like Hester, or JC, and keep what we have, this will still be an EPIC class. Would be great if we found a late JUCO kid at DT, but what can we do. Maybe we can still sway CJ to take the freaking online course. But what can we do about something like that? If a kid is that lazy, then what else can we really do?

Look, we knew all along that the closing of recruiting season was going to rough, since there wasnt much left on the table for us to add, and it would be a fight to hold the kids we do have. We have a MONSTER class right now, but we lined it up early, so it was bound to be anti-climatic.

People are sleeping on some of the studs we have. Courtel Jenkins is going to be a MONSTER IMO. Brady is a kid who many feel has the most upside of ANY of the receivers we have been after, including Dixon and Lane. Valentine is a MONSTER and if we keep him, he is going to be rocking it next year. Our OL class is the envy of the nation. Chad Thomas is going to be a beast here. Joe Yearby is an elite RB, and if Duke is healthy, and Gus gets another year of Utough and working on getting better, Duke, Yearby, and Gus will be a very strong running stable. IF we can get Griffin qualified, that will be a major boost.

Yes it would be nice to add a little more icing on the cake, but lets NOT for one moment overlook what a GREAT class this is. The biggest concern right now should be holding what we got, and making sure they qualify.

Duval???

So they will make an impact like who? which defensive freshman has made an impact in Golden's 3 years? 1 Bush and that is it. But now all those guys are, lol.

 

[Ernie McCracken]

Wow my hopes for the finish of this class went from optimistic to negative after reading this. Yet again we fail to close out on the top tier talent that is left in SFLA.

SMDH WTF

It's December. If you're going to meltdown wait till February

At this pace February will be an absolute **** show and utter dissapointment. What a joke!

**** YOU GOLDEN AND YOUR TOP 3 CLASS

**** YOU

it ain't a top 3 class

Man STFU with that cheerleading bull****.

Golden and DOnofrio are failing, it is what it is. Can't win big unless you recruit big.

 

[sotacane22]

we should get all these recruits but our coaching isnt up to par honestly

This sucks. Hopefully they wise up and flip to us.

Well buddy, recruiting is all about "ifs". Every program is going to have kids decommit, new kids commit, kids qualify, kids fail to qualify, there are always a lot of ifs.

i know lol I'm messing with ya ...you know you do better than anyone else, can't shoot the messenger

 

[JHallCanes]

The key is keeping this class together. Adding some elite pieces would be nice but this class is elite in itself.
