So we finally offer Treon Harris as a QB.

[brittle757]

Not coming to the U...He said it was a "trust" thing. Pretty close to what Ice Harris said when we pulled a scholarship from a blue chip BTW player last year. smh

If that's the case, then Treon and/or Ice needs to reflect on who can actually be trusted. The UM coaches did not lie to Treon and pretend they wanted him as a QB all along like other programs (including FSU) no doubt have done. Only after later in the recruiting period, when the staff saw that we could squeeze in another QB recruit did they offer him as one, which is completely appropriate since as a QB he's a project and a gamble. If he wants to disagree with their (and many others) assessment of his potential as a QB then that's fine. However, trust shouldn't be the issue because the staff clearly didn't try to play him early on like other programs.

But we offer and accept Rosier's committment, both of which are in the same mold. I think Treon is much better, and has more of an influence among other recruits. I just don't understand the logic, is it because Rosier has better measurables?

Like I said, if they want to question the staff's evaluation that is fine. Something the staff saw made them feel Rosier was a better QB prospect. However, nothing the staff did in the situation points to a reason to not trust them. If the staff wanted to be shady about it they could have just offered him early as a QB (knowing that's what he wanted to play) without having any intention of giving him a chance at QB, but they didn't.

No inside info, but I get impression that if UM had offered him as a QB much earlier in the process, he'd be committed here. Seems like if Miami begs and grovels enough, might just sway him here. Miami is kind of like the dude dating some chic that gets dumped right before prom and is now angling for the other girl who's been secretly begging for a date for prom for months, lol.

Except, Miami got the top QB prospect that they were targeting in Kaaya. No QB that we wanted badly "dumped" us, causing us to go after Treon as a QB, so your analogy fails badly. More accurately, now that this recruiting cycle is further along and our core class is set up, the coaches could take a look at our scholarship situation and decide to take a gamble on Treon as a QB (where he's a project) instead of just as an athlete (where he excels).

Well, in recruiting you can date many girls.

Seriously though, my point was simply that if we put the full press on him, will certainly cause him to question his FSU commitment.

Face it. FSU played this thing perfectly. They offered him exactly what he wanted--a chance to play QB. Had we done the same thing early on, he'd be ours. This dude's brothers went here and it's in his back yard and in his blood. Unfortunately, Jizzbo is playing chess, and Al is playing Gnip Gnop.

I Disagree and am flat out irked by 90 percent of your posts but this is a good post in my view. There was no reason not to give this kid a shot at Qb unless for some reason golden felt the politics would be toxic.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Let's not forget, Coley has known about Treon for a long time. He clearly thought Rosier was a better fit.

I dunno.

Jimbo has always been an elite recruiter. He's also been hitting on many evaluations (and getting the benefit of a lot of no brainers) so the smart coach says, "hey we can afford to take some risks" IE going all in on South Florida recruiting in some spots. That type of risk can really bite you in the ***, but it's worth it if it pays off and Jimbo is, and has been playing that game very well.

Bump

 

[canesplaymaker]

Great bump. We can conclusively say he is terrible ******* qb. Unreal that UF has no one else. This is why Eason becomes gator.

 

[AtrainCane]

oh, this gone be good.....

 

[The Iceman]

LOL

 

[Brickell]

Good god Treon is terrible - if UF had some semblance of offense they probably beat Bama.
