Got a Gator telling me that it is guaranteed that Steele, Hill and Hopper are absolute, ironclad committments to them.

Dear Lord please, PLEASE let Hopper stab those frickers in the back in the morning.

Whipe I think hopper is most likely of the three, I think he does ultimately stick with UF, family wants him at SC, but he loves UF.

Latest word is Hopper is sticking with his commitment but that could just be noise to keep gator fans off his arse. Hill is gator and steele loves recruiting so much who knows.

Sounds like Dixon and Bedford will sign Withbus, hopper to stick with uf. Also, Jammie Robinson said on Instagram tonight that he plans to sign tomorrow, likely USC or Kentucky


Edit: now Jammie isnt signing...just drop this idiot already

Is Eric Gray signing tomorrow? Heading to UT?

Pretty hilarious that he’d commit to a school without a freaking OC. Gotta give it to Pruitt and Fulmer, they know when to turn up the cash flow.

Gray is signing and it's pretty obvious it'll be UT.

We are not finishing strong like we heard we would. Dixon is solid but was on our 3rd tier. We are going to get left behind in the east with the way we are recruiting. Finishing top 25 for a recruiting class unless you're in the sec where finishing 20th national only equals 11th in the sec.

I don't disagree, however if you look at the average grade on the composite SC is around 6th or 7th in the SEC, while not ideal but not nearly as bad as it seems, we are sitting 10th or 11th cause other teams have more guys than us. Add Belk and Jamel Cook and Tyquan Johnson to the class, if you could and it looks much better

Call it early if you want to but the feb date should be called the late signing period as this one is now the main one. The facts are we are getting our 2nd, 3rd or 4th choices. What happened to the great " flipper" we have?

We were promised oranges by rooster. Where are the oranges, I want my damn oranges.

I don't disagree, but I for one do trust this staff much more that asparagus fearing Pruitt to develop...and the door and gloom based on the class rankings, sometimes you gotta look deeper at the average rankings and offer lists. Vincent Murphy is a top center with Top offers but centers rarely get a 4* rating, then Dixon and Jakai have great offer lists too.

This is the same thing we all have been saying every year. Sure we can coach them up but what if we got the higher rated talent AND coached them up?

I wanted Moore like you did. I think we did a good job reloading the ol. Dixon is solid but lets be honest he was on our 3rd tier. We are missing on top talent. The reason our 11 win seasons were successful was due to top talent . Coaching is vastly needed and we are doing that but its the jimmy and joes over the x and o.

Again I'm not disagreeing but the class average is. 89 which is right there on the verge of 4*....and again to really think we ate gonna start bringing in all the talent that we were after us a bit ambitious. Look at who we were battling and where we were 3 years ago. Sure you could say Tennessee and Florida but they have a large winning tradition to sell and trophy cases to back it up. We just have to keep winning games and move forward. Those SOS teams too 6 years of recruiting to get to and started much like tbis and that was before the 25 new scholly platers a year limit was implemented
