I guess that's understandable but A) those problems tend to follow you anywhere if you aren't ready to change your life (see Hernandez, Aaron) and B) that isn't the time or the place to make a scene.

She's certainly entitled to her opinion, but its kind of a dick move to make a scene during one of your kid's biggest and proudest moments. Then again, I had a mother who was prone to making huge ridiculous scenes, so maybe I'm a bit more sensitive to how lovely it feels.

The UF class is pretty good but we whiffed on a couple of guys who were considered heavy Florida leans and it has some fans disappointed.

Oh and they're comparing our class to UGA which is just lol at the moment. I don't think UF fans realize this is our new normal until one of these coaches has some success on a more national scale. Or at least fields an offense in the top 100 in the country lol

Do you not get that she's worried about the kid staying/getting wrapped up in gang stuff and wind up dead? This isn't a 'she really likes orange/crimson and is kind of afraid of alligators so she caused a scene'. She's literally worried about the well-being of her son. For all you know he told her he was going to UT/Bama and him choosing UF shocked her, which seems pretty likely given the situation.

If, God forbid, Mullen can't run an offense at Florida with these guys and we enter a second decade of poo poo-tier offense then I'll probably just tune out for a few years.

I think UF will be fine even if they don't have a million 5 star players signing. Mullen seems to do well with less, and if he can start showing some improvement from the Mac era, he'll get those bigger name guys.

Mullen seems to do well with less, and if he can start showing some improvement from the Mac era, he'll get those bigger name guys. It's also a transition class. Practically any transition class is going to be below the usual standard of the school. It's just part of the cost of a coaching change. A lot of these top recruits have been building relationships with coaches for years. Even the most home-run coaching hire is going to have a hell of a time establishing that level of trust and confidence in a couple of months. Even moreso now with a lot of recruits getting locked down on the early signing day, at which point new coaches have been there for a few weeks at most and likely don't even have all their assistants in place.

Y'all should fire Muschamp again somehow.

I've said it before that a lot of these kids wouldn't have even been looking our way if it weren't for Pruitt and you also have to realize that the majority of them only made one visit to knoxville with maybe an in home with a coach vs other programs where they got several visits of each. Friday will be two months since Pruitt was hired. I think we can all step back from the ledge and just take this class for was it is, a huge improvement over where we were when he got here. Yeah we missed on some guys we would have liked to get but realistically they were long shots (see above). Joey Freshwater fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Feb 7, 2018 |

That class was 1-3 in the WLOCP, lost to Georgia Southern, and played exactly one good month of football (October 2012) in four seasons. Y'all should fire Muschamp again somehow. Earlier today I was looking back to see the last time only two SEC teams finished in the top-10 of recruiting rankings (2005, btw), and was reminded of that class. Somehow only Shariff Floyd and Trey Burton developed into good players. The only reason it wasn't the biggest overall class bust was because 2006 USC will never be outdone in that regard. That class was No. 1 by a country mile and really, really sucked in actual college football. Although, in general, the class of 2010 was pretty mediocre as a whole in terms of how they all developed. Of the top-5 classes that year, I'd argue that only Kenny Stills (Oklahoma) and C.J. Mosley (Alabama) really developed into good players at the college and NFL levels. I don't count Cam Newton that year because he was a RS-Jr when he signed. Aside from that, here's my thoughts on NSD18... - With only two teams from the SEC finishing in the top-10 for the first time in 13 years, we might finally really start seeing a shift in power begin. Maybe? Probably not but I wouldn't be too upset about it. - Unless Ed Orgeron is truly some sort of bayou football savant at evaluating talent (he's not), him and his chief of staff Ponamsky are going to have one hell of a time explaining this class away to the Tiger faithful. A few decent prospects in there, but not enough secondary depth and no QB for a team with only a "blue chip" QB from last class who couldn't push Danny Etling for playing time? No bueno. - Oklahoma only finished No. 9, but they secured a lot of guys I know can play and know how to win. That could be a really great class if they develop like I think they can. - Alabama went all-in on rush-ends and DBs and I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. The only real shock was that they didn't offer/take a QB this year for the first time in maybe a decade. But with Tua and Hurts and Mac Jones, they'll be totally fine through the next cycle. Next year, however, I wager they'll load up on OL, and there will be plenty of them. - Miami's class also may not have any future household names in it, but they're going to have all the depth they were missing in 2017, for sure. - Georgia also had the most absurd haul of 'stars' in rankings history, but from what I hear from the coaches who have been passing through, it sounds like they've really upset the apple cart. Lots of other coaching staffs more upset than usual with their tactics (still trying to learn what in the hell they were doing to piss everyone off so bad). But it was also an absolute perfect storm this year. The most loaded the state has been in years while most of their chief rivals were rebuilding, so they were going to have an amazing class no matter what.

That class had 3 first round picks, and at least 7 other guys who saw meaningful playtime in the league, 2 of whom were playing for the Eagles last Sunday. Florida had issues during that stretch, but lack of overall talent wasn't one of them. 2005 is still the best Florida class and probably the greatest of the modern recruiting era.

He'll need time to put weight on, but have seen evals from former VT players just absolutely glowing about his potential. He's not can't-miss, but he's got the chance to be really good, and I wish he were at VT.

I’m extremely excited for this class. Last year we had a great class, but it was largely built with offensive guys. But this class is the best defensive class I can ever remember us signing. Our DL class in particular is up there with any other team. Perkins, Tatum, Thompson, and Redmond are all real legit blue chip guys. And I think Bookie will make a huge impact. We haven’t had a true shutdown corner prospect like that in a long time. Also pretty excited about TJ Pledger. RB is stacked for a long time. And then Brey Walker is just a monster on the OL.

Kim Jong Il posted:Parsons is good, and you lost him due to a self-own. My dude, did I say anything about Parsons not being good? We lost him because someone thought that Kirk should ever be used to recruit anything for any reason ever. Also, Franklin seems to think he's an MLB? Oweh could be a nightmare in the right hands (which Larry Johnson absolutely would have been, and Penn State's new guy currently might be). Jean-Baptiste's film looks basically like a high-potential, raw edge guy who needs to put on weight where he takes good angles and moves well but has like 2 moves and no heft. Whether that's a 3* or 4* is semantics, but the dude did ball out on his tape and looked pretty impressive in the all-star circuit this year too, so the idea that he's a commodity because of the early signing day isn't exactly warranted. Also, guy's in NJ, cold-weather state where spring ball isn't a thing and means development can take a bit longer. See them all the time in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, NY, etc. Mike_V posted:So did Barry Odom completely whiff on Missouri's best high school class ever? I think he maybe grabbed the #9 or 10 guy and that's it. Yeah, the fact that OSU pulled both Babb and Brown with an air-raid team in state is amazing. That dude is canned in like 6 months at this rate.

He's that good. His sole potential weakness might be his height, but that didn't stop guys like Vernon Hargreaves (UF, now Tampa Bay) from being an impact player. Plus he's an outstanding return man. You're going to love him. He's also the most eloquent high school player I've ever been around, so odds are the SIDs at OU will make him one of the faces of the program for the next three years.
