Its killing my data plan

I keep checking twitter every 3-4 min looking for another commit


This weekend I felt like everytime I unlocked my phone UF had another commit. Looks like UF is not done yet.

I am super hyped on Thornton. 6'3" with track speed.

Not happening on the Nesta front. He's a solid commit.


Y'all have had a history of these flipping come the fall.

Derick Hunter showed up to FNL instead of your camp.

He had some very positive quotes for UF at FNL.

Edit: Richt on the recruiting trail

Where all the numbnuts who said he was a terrible recruiter?

All signs are pointing towards him committing to Miami.
Personally I hope not.
Dude is definitely talented and worthy of the scholarship (Definitely better than Schwartz).
but he doesnt even come close to Kevin Austin or Terrance Marshall. Both of which Miami is longshot for, but still. I'd rather take 3 this class and hold those spots for those 2 than to just take Thornton. Especially since we signed 3-4 WRs in the 2017 class. Getting 8 WRs in 2 classes is a lot and means 2019 we can only get max of 2.

Lets Break your class down:
-Only person that you "flipped" was Henderson and thats only because of the bitch move he pulled at the AllStar game. He has a lot of potential. But we won the recruiting battle. But we didn't like the BS he pulled, and he didn't like our response to it.
-We never wanted Slaton, so you didn't beat us for him. Him playing DT is laughable.
-Marco Wilson is good. But his father is considered a traitor to Miami. We never had any shot at him. So He's not a victory over us. But definitely a good player, I would have wanted him.
-Kemore Gamble was simply dropped by Richt, so I have no idea how you guys view him as a flip.
-Jake Allen fricking sucks. I can't even believe you guys didn't drop him. He should be at like Florida A&M.
-Brian Edwards yall definitely won vs us. We wanted him though I don't know why. I never thought he was good tbh. And he always wanted to go to UF, but I think he only considered us because his parents wanted him here.
- Shawn Davis imo was your biggest win over us. I liked him, and our staff definitely wanted him.

So if you look at our class and commit timeline, there were only 3 Decommits (in the entire class) that weren't drops and that we wanted come nsd - Tre Mckitty, Brian Edwards, and Chris Henderson. McKitty decommitted a full yr before signing day, so thats not even a good example. I'll give you guys credit for 1.25 of them. Henderson not choosing us was 100% determined by that 3 day span at the all star game.

NOW you are starting to get annoying U...a word to the wise is usually sufficient....stop the "we didn't want him anyway" "we would rather have Joe Snot than him" or "cant believe you guys recruited them" schtick or you might be shown the trap door, because the posters here will eventually complain enough that even our moderator will react.

This IS a Gator board and if we posted some of the comments you have (if we even got that far) we would be banned.

Fortunately or unfortunately, we have a rather tame board that allows this place to be a turnstile at times. You are a guest...please keep it in mind. I don't mind you posting tidbits of recruiting...its all good as long as you avoid what I paraphrase.

Again...I don't mind you posting recruiting info.

Don't come on our board talking reckless like this

Add him as another in a long list of guys the Canes wanted that they couldn't have because of the Gators

Tell Uncle Luke we're building a wall around South Florida and Miami is paying for it

Lol. Just stop. If you want to post recruiting info fine then post it. You're just looking for a fight at this point.

Still taking Copeland and maaaaaybe Anthony Schwartz. He wants in but not sure if he has a spot. If we have a WR transfer soon that's pretty telling on us making room for Schwartz. I've read we're shooting our shot for Jalen Hall, 5 star WR teammate of Matt Corral. We'll see how realistic that is though.

I expect Gammage and Jaylnn Williams to be processed pretty soon.
