He is thinking the same thing we are. If the other recruits feel the same way then maybe we can get a new starter next year. The bag man better have a big bag for him with Ole Miss and Bama being his other Visits.

Is from VA

Mike locksley owns the DMV in recruiting. His hire would hopefully lock Conliffe down as a Gator.

i question whether or not this kid can read a playbook after watching this interview. if anything, i hope he can at least run a decent percy harvin/fly route.

Not sure what to think about Robinson. Supposedly his family wants him at UF but in an interview this week he calls Oklahoma his leader.

Gibbs to Georgia. Heard we were in the conversation up until a couple days ago. How is Smart pulling these guys but Mac cant this was a tougher sell since he was in state for GA. To put it into perspective both GEORGIA and ALABAMA have more ESPN 300 recruits 16 each than we have total recruits.

Kirby can sell a vision despite his record. Mac can't after even going to the SECCG twice. It's that simple.

UGA grabs Digg's and now Former Auburn commit Tray Bishop today both would've been big for us especially Bishop since its looking more and more like Blades may be gone.

There are now 36 players committed to SEC schools ranked ahead of our top commit. To be fair UGA has 19 4/5 star commits right now the rest of the SEC east has only 20 combined.

I wouldn't be surprised if Georgia just waxes the east next year. Eason was pretty good this year.

I'll trade W's on the field for W's in February. Sometimes people get way too caught up in W's that don't matter in february.

In some good news, #65 overall player in the nation guard/DT Tedarell Slaton from American Heritage (same school as Marco Wilson and James Houston and Kai Leon Herbert) named Florida and Kentucky his two leaders. Said that he wants to play DT in college and Florida and Kentucky are the only schools recruiting him there. He's 6'4 340 lb. He is a STUD and will OV here January 20th. I expect him to land in this class. That would be HUGE

The fact that we're having to compete for "high level" players with schools like Kentucky should say something. If Florida was really a high level school like we know they should be, then schools like Kentucky shouldn't be in the running.

If you don't win the elite recruits in February without elite coaching you won't get the wins in The fall. Mac is neither an elite coach or recruiter. How do you think Mac made it to the SECCG?? Elite players on defense. At this point we should take any DT we can get.

Muschamp had elite defenses and never won the East.

So let's say he's just a better overall coach, because he doesn't lose to FCS teams while having elite defenses.

Urban Meyer Did and so did SOS. I said ELITE coaching. There are other that coaches that have coached at UF other than your boy WM. He's not the bar I set UF football to.

Bama and Kentucky were the final two for 5 star running back Damien Harris last year.

Just because they're in the running isn't as much a knock on UF as it is a testament to UK. Now, if UK beats us out for Slaton, then THATS a problem. But based on what he was saying, it sounds like he's gonna end up at UF. Which is a nice pull for us.
