Tears Gator Tears

The article is such a troll job by Wiltfong. He is trying to convince the Gaytor fans subscribers that a lot is happening on DL recruiting, and how things are "five-star central" at Florida this weekend. Check it out...

Five star central? In addition to David Stone (see below), they will have Lagway (already committed). I'm using the Composite Rankings, not the "247 only" rankings, and Filsaime is only a 4-star in the Composite. The other guy that they are trying to build up is Jordan Ross, who is a 5-sar on the "247 only" rankings. So...what...two consensus five-stars (one already committed) and two 247-only five-stars (one already committed)? Ohhhh-kaaaaay....

Then you have THIS nugget:

"It seems like just about every ballyhooed defensive lineman in America is ascending on Gainesville. If Napier and the Gators can just sign their fair share from this group, it will continue to retool a roster that was a big area of need when this second-year staff arrived on campus."

Really, Wiltfong? Really?

In between consensus 5-star David Stone (also visiting Miami) and "next best" Jordan Ross, Bing-Bong has omitted THESE defensive linemen:

3. Williams Nwaneri
4. Colin Simmons (Miami visit)
10. Dylan Stewart (Miami visit)
12. Justin Scott (Miami visit)
15. Eddrick Houston
22. Elijah Rushing
29. Dominick McKinley
30. TJ Capers (Louisville commit)
33. Aydin Breland (Miami visit)

Not to mention:

39. Kamarion Franklin (Miami visit)
47. Ernest Willor Jr.
58. Joseph Jonah-Ajonye
67. Marquise Lightfoot (Miami visit)
74. Benedict Umeh
75. Nigel Smith II
81. Kameryn Fountain

"Every ballyhooed defensive lineman in America?

How about "just David Stone and Jordan Ross". That's it. And don't try to tell me about a kid committed to Tennessee who wants to play Tight End, not Defensive End.

Ridiculous.

I know we joke about his coaching, but come on. Napier has gotta be in panic mode.. right? If he starts Mertz, he's asking to be put on the hot seat. There's 30+ games worth of film showing the exact same issues that popped up during the spring. Not even his assistants are worried? No way.

I always assumed his plan was to jump on whichever QB transferred from UGA. But just because that fell through, it doesn't excuse rolling with Mertz and Miller.

I'm all for it though. This thread will be a must read in the fall.

Insane that the want a kid who’s a sophomore to reclassify to start college now. Selfish as ****


Selfish...and crazy...

Most REGULAR freshman need a year to adjust to college, learn the playbook, and build chemistry with their teammates. But, hey, The Gaytor can get a high school senior to perform well in the SEC before his regularly-scheduled high school prom, don't ya know?!

Yes, "reclassification" will solve all the Gaytors' problems...

Hilarious.

I’m not a fan of kids reclassify up unless they are “hold backs” but this is even worse as this kid is supposed to be a junior next year

Didn't I read a few posts on another thread that were talking about how it was harder for kids to break bones because their bodies are still growing and their bones are more bendy?

Slingblade Billy is a genius...
