Jamonta Waller is 2024. Also 60 of the top 100 kids on 247 have committed to a school.

100% correct on everything else. They won’t stick. Some of big dogs haven’t gotten going yet (Bama, A&M, USC to an extent, Texas, etc.). It’s desperation.

The only thing better than UF having a terrible recruiting class is for them to blow money on verbals, go under .500,
get raided by stable programs and still have a terrible recruiting class.

Were another big dog that hasn't gotten going yet

They don’t and won’t give us credit which is a reason why things will be entertaining when we start landing our top guys. They’ve already said Ruiz is broke and going to jail so what’s next???

It's just hilarious watching their fanbase's constant need to validate their team. Actually wasting time and energy researching and debating on whether a 3-star OT was dropped by another school. Living and dying with every movement up or down the recruiting rankings. After a 3-star OL commit, their fans literally asking each other, "Where are we ranked now?"

Now, they're looking over their shoulder worried about UM having a top 10 to top 5 class. We play them in the next two years, but you'd think they'd be more worried about the schools in their division.

They are set up for a massive implosion. After a 4-8 or 5-7 season. They'll likely lose some of their recruits. They can't recruit OL. They're going to get crushed in the trenches. The coup de gras will be when Lagway decommits. I don't think he sticks when he realizes they won't have anyone good to block for him and they're having a tough time recruiting WRs despite having a 5-star QB committed.

Just glorious!!!!!
 
Dont even know who tf that kid at Lb they got. Hes big (pause) but can he move at that size, or is this a Golden special where he cant move but has a 4 star ranking anyway. Someone give me the scoop. Every class has a bunch of four stars at every position you dont really expect anything from but depth. I hope he aint leading their linebacker class but I'll wait till the film gurus tell me about this dude. It seems more like damage control to me this used to be us all the time.

Georgia has taken your lunch money whenever they’ve wanted too. He may have had a commitable offer but he may have been down on their boards also. They may have told him to hold off and he didn’t want too hence why he committed to you.

Congrats tho has Billy found the magic formula? Has your collective started to actually come through on promises?

I know he’s listed as an edge. I don’t know how that translates with their defense. Are they still running a 3-4?
 
Look, let's make this simple.

Is Slingblade Billy sitting on a very nice HALF class right now? Yes.

But we have to stop our bickering and focus on what is really happening. Which I already posted about.

All of Slingblade's success, THUS FAR, comes from players who have barely taken any other official visits. AND IN CONTRAST, Mario is holding off on taking verbals UNTIL most of these recruits have taken OVs (I realize that's not the case with guys whose commitments we took a few months ago).

Now, we can debate the relative merits of each approach. But the fact remains...Mario knows how easy it is for excitable 17 year olds to "commit" to a school, only to have nearly-immediate second thoughts. Like a certain UM OL recruit whose name rhymes with "Spazz".

And while we can ony imagine how many schools will start scavenging the UiF commit list once the losses pile up, but we do NOT have to imagine how easy it is to host a superior official visit that does not involve Dave & Busters or Hotel Aleo.

So Imma let Slingblade Billy have his moment of false overconfidence. I don't care. And I'm not saying that all of these kids will bail. But with unlimited OVs and unlimited Gaytor losses on the field, I strongly suspect that several of these verbals will bounce like a rubber check.

Yeah, their pictures are nearly identical looking, as are their names. And they are both sizable DTs. But the constant non-mention of his dad seems to mean that there might be some family separation drama out there.
 
The only positive from Manny’s tenure is his recruiting bake-off comment. Winning in summer is a risky game. Much like the situation we are in UF has to win or holding those guys will be difficult.

What if Auburn wins 8 or 9 games and circles back on some guys, or Kirby gets another hard on for flipping their commits? It’s difficult tight rope to walk.

Im not worried about UF, if they do not fix that OL, they will be like some of those teams we had towards the end of our run. Really good defense that got worn down with no offense.

They on a good run tho. Certainly recruiting better than under Mullen. Still confident we are gonna finish above them in recruiting. Both in total points and average points. Never get too high or too low. In these things especially in the summer. Mario proved he can hold a class together during a terrible season. Can Napier?

The real question is…can Napier (or any coach) do so in their second year? It’s a different question than a bad season in year one.

I distinctly remember FSU pounding their chests about having a #1 (at the time) class in the middle of summer only to see them eventually finish like 23rd after signing day. It's great to get commitments early but as survivors of the Al Golden years, we know as well as anyone that the only commitments that count are the ones on signing day.

I have very little doubt that UF will fall apart. The reasons have already been thoroughly outlined the last few pages. That said at this time, let’s not act like Gators, where we defy logic just to fit our nice pretty narrative. The pay off here will make it worth it, as their fall will be great but I’m not going to deny that at this moment in time they are in a good spot because once again I’m not delusional like them.

FSU was awful last year the entire cycle, awful. Norvell can portal but he has yet to show he can recruit during the regular cycle. His luck will eventually run out in the portal. FSU fans had a glimmer of hope that success on the field would translate to better HS recruiting but even after the year they had, they are very meh.

This was like 2 or 3 years ago. Might have been Norvell's first season.
