Kyle and TG I'm not knocking Mac or praising Harbaugh. Certainly not praising AG. He was a relative unknown here as well. You don't think a Harbaugh like hire at UF would've helped them this year vs Mac?
My main point was that we are struggling with half of our chief recruiting competition-UF dead this year.
perhaps but probably not much. Our board was **** to start with.
next year is where Harbaugh vs Mac would make a difference, in theory. Mac might be a bulldog for all i know. He hired a staff that is very experienced recruiting the southeast so he at least knows the importance of it. And that might help us some this year since a lot guys he hired were recruiting the kids we are looking at, so there is familiarity there.
right now I am taking an expect the worst/hope for the best since it is a transition class....but this weekend is going great for us so I have some optimism. A lot of optimism, actually.
Gators feeling good on Scarlett? Or more Cowart/Ivey/Davis related?
cronkite
ivey
davis
rayshawn jefferson
Francois
Scarlett
i dont expect to get all those guys but they are having a great time. francois is interesting and something i will get into at a later time.
Cronk I can definitely see you guys having a chance at. If the Miami staff didn't botch his recruitment he would be committed here still.
Ivey always been considered a lean for you guys. Would like to see if McElwain closes there as Auburn has been creeping in.
Davis I'm pretty positive you will land him.
I believe you mean Rayshad Jackson who I am sure you will land as Shannon is a Norland alum and it will be closer to home for Jackson.
Francois I can understand your optimism there as I was even shocked a long time ago that he didn't commit to UF. Thing is you must remember, Winston just left. FSUs job is wide open.
Scarlett we shall see. Miami had a great visit with him as well with Brad Kaaya being a major selling point as well as RB U. FSU becomes even more of a factor now too. IMO ultimately he will choose where he feels will take him pro and allow him to play early and often.
The fact Cowart left early, I think that doesn't bode well for your chances at all.
Cece I don't think will go to UF. Neither Holland.
One thing to monitor for you guys is if Dexter Williams takes a visit next week. Even though he has hinted at a trip to Miami again before signing day.
We shall see. Recruiting around this time gets interesting.
