re: 5* RB Ricky Slade to PSU

I'm showing the widening talent gap of UGA and FSU. It's no surprise you ignore that. You have no way to refute it. We beat UGA because they had very little talent. That is changing. FSU has destroyed us and we're not catching up. Mac is not recruiting at UF levels and our record will reflect that very soon. Keep your head in the sand though. If you look at FSU's recruiting vs ours the last 3 years 2015-2017

So over the three years of recruiting classes, FSU had 23 players who were top 5 in their position to Florida's 7. FSU had 31 players who were top 10 in their position to Florida's 10.

On the negative side, FSU had 17 players ranked outside the top 25 at their position while Florida had 37. FSU took 1 two star guy while Florida took 5.
