BTW this kid from Lakeland Victory Christian had a lot of our coaches at his basketball game...looks like Mac and staff have found a hidden gem? Abule Abadi is 6'7" DE that has been under the radar and I trust our coaches to know hidden talent...so if he is signed...dont laugh, I do remember another 6'7" kid McCallister that was not highly sought after....very very skinny and by r/s soph year he was a terror on QBs ...just saying.

This move is weird to me. UF loaded up with tall skinny pass rushers last cycle and UF is supposedly tight on numbers with more recruits wanting in than spots available. I can see this as a backup option in case things get interesting on NSD.

He could be option as a project TE.

Understandable-- every likes to point to Alex Mc, but projects are gambles-- remember the huge NH WR Meyer recruited who was like 6'5" and ran a 4.5 but could never see the field?

That guy is not a fricking insider. Wow. The guy on twitter that promotes a random podcast and claims to know shite, but is trying to make a name for himself off false information. Also claimed Nord isn't on the trail. Don't post his shite on here, it's made up.

Hmm today it was announced that Herbert is no longer visiting this weekend and Henderson's crystal ball is now majority Miami. You said Jones to FSU. Robinson I heard canceled his Ole Miss visit after speaking with OSU coaches again. Seems pretty right to me. The guy you mentioned put the tweet out the rest of the stuff I posted is from several other people that I trust and have been very right about things in the past.

Where is tj when we need him.

It's officially time to hit the panic button.

frick.

Lol. What a fricking disaster this staff is at recruiting.

Come on...stop it. NSD is a week away...you are bashing the recruiting now? We dont know how this will shake out...but dont do the "OMG shy is falling routine just yet" It will be evident what we have ...to a degree and I personally dont give a crap about stars or rankings...what I care about is wins and losses....prime example is Clemson and how they werent great recruiting early on...but they built a program and laid the foundation.

Two or three years from on we will know what this class has done and its premature right now to guess. A LOT of 3 stars are in the NFL...contrary to 07s assertions....its the finished product that counts.

We just went on a visit to blades last week and sat with his family to soludify him and he still decommitted.If that does't tell you something I dont know what will.

Kids are fricking stupid and do shite like this all the time? I think you guys read way, way too deeply into the decisions of 18 year olds. We've seen tantrums before, we'll see them again in the future.

Thank God Muschamp brought in Quincy or we wouldn't have Marco. Back to back 10 win seasons on the back of the defense with back to back SEC championship games and still 11th in the SEC a week before signing day and lose a CB that we can offer immediate playing time to. No excuse period. We are behind Arkansas, Kentucky, South Carolina. Oh yeah Oregon and their first year HC.

He also brought 4 - 8 and 7 - 6, which led to having 10 recruits total going into December and 100+ in recruiting ranking.

It didn't help LSU.

Reel I said nothing about the NFL and I didn't make assertions I stated facts..but since you brought it up guess what there are more 3 stars coming out of high school every year than 4 or 5 stars so of course there will be more. Percentage wise if you are a 5 star you are more likely to go to the nfl.

If you don't care about stars and rankings get with the times. The top 3 recruiting teams won 4 out of the last 5 national titles. Obviously there is something to it. Teams that perform on a high level and stay there recruit well and are normally highly ranked.

Glad you mentioned Clemson since they are technically my home town team. I get to hear lots about them. Fact their last 2 classes per ESPN were 4th and 8th. The only reason their other classes ranked lower was because they took small classes compared to teams higher than them 21 on Average the classes ranked above them 25 on average. Add 4 more players to each class they are top 10 if not top 5. They finished 2nd in the ACC in recruiting every year except one the last 6 years. Dabo can recruit, his staff can recruit we are not on their level.
