Early signing day thread....Steele announcement

[Gator Fever]

Well its finally here - the day you get the big majority of the class now.

Hopefully there is a nice surprise or two on the good side and none on the bad side.

Rumors out there FSU may lose their blue chip QB commit.

Great prospect

 

[PacoGator19]

Miami is going to have a disaster of a day it looks like.

 

[Gator Fever]

Georgia's 5 star recruit. I see why they are recruiting like Bama.

 

[Gator Fever]

I hope Humphries doesn't pull any funny business. We need that size in this class.

 

[Gator Fever]

Georgia just got QB Mathis over OSU I think. I wonder if he is sporting a new expensive ride also.

He’s not that good. He’ll never play at UGA.

 

[Gator Fever]

Definitely need people there today or afterwards

 

[Gator Fever]

Sounds like we will probably land Lloyd Summerall.

Humphries is in

 

[Gator Fever]

Yes - he was very important to this class.

 

[Gator Fever]

We hopefully will be adding another two 4 star recruits here pretty soon.

 

[GatorsFanYeah]

We will end up with Steele so we will have a decent close to the class. As for Sanders, anyone who doesn’t think UGA is cheating their ass off is blind. Kirby learned from Saban who has tons of bagmen in his corner. Just because then NCAA is inept and turns a blind eye doesn’t mean they aren’t blatantly cheating. Kirby is literally recruiting better than any coach in the history of the game, and it’s not even close. Let’s be honest about what’s going on in Athens.

I think we will get three 4 star recruits pretty soon.

Yep if we get all 3 of those Lakeland guys that will be real nice.

[PacoGator19]

4* OL Hammond from Lakeland to UF! Another huge pickup along the oline.

 

[PacoGator19]

4 star DE Lloyd Summerall commits to UF

 

[Gator Fever]

Got the trio - that will move us up a lot.

 

[PacoGator19]

4 star TE Keon Zipperer to UF

 

[PacoGator19]

Got all 3 of the Lakeland kids and hurt Miami and FSU in the process. Plus I think it is a good thing to get kids from that Lakeland program. It has been good to us in the past.

I don't understand how Zipperer and Hammond are only 4 star rated, when Zip is the #1 rated TE-H back in the country and Hammond is the #2 rated OG in the country. Shouldn't that qualify as 5 star? Great gets regardless.

 

[oozie7]

Hopefully get that back next year. He’s elite.

Are most ranked at Tackle?

 

[Gator Fever]

My guess is we are at least around # 15 now.

 

[Gator Fever]

What’s the story behind the Chucky doll?

Someone screwed us over holding it one time because it was associated with players on our defense.

 

[Gator Fever]

Any chance we beat GA/Bama out for Trey Sanders or does he have a brand new flashy ride now also?

Dontae Lucas has a little buzz he may switch possibly.

 

[sadgator]

My guess is we are at least around # 15 now.

Remember when it was September and...

 

[Gator Fever]

Remember when it was September and...

15 isn't cutting it but the day is young and will at least put us in striking range of a good class. We should never be out of the top 5 in the SEC, really top 4.

 

[GatorsFanYeah]

Steele will be a Gator and is a 5 star so that alone will move Florida close to top 10 range. If Florida wasn’t competing with no moneybag programs Georgia and Alabama Sanders would be a Gator as well.

I will give Mullen some props if he gets us out of the teens after the start - even if it was # 12.

I don't look at this stuff as close as some others but we appear to have at least got the needed positions covered mostly except we need another big DT at least I would say.

Those aren’t positions that typically rate highly. High stars at comparable positions go to tackles and receivers. Same reason you never see a 5-star kicker even though it’s extremely important. That’s why filling needs and not just looking at rankings are important. Even though rankings matter obviously.

 

[sadgator]

Sounds like another great day for Coach Mullen...

The dude has done everything and anything we could have hoped for since the first day of his hire...

Love ‘em...

 

[instaGATOR]

So far, all 9 projected EE's have signed.

ESD total now at 20 -- 12 Off - 7 Def - 1 FS/WR both/either?

Biggest Needs:
7 OL
3 LB
2 CB
1 QB
20 already signed, plus adding to those numbers on or before NSD.

Just as I said earlier, a BANNER ESD, with few open spots remaining.

Bingo. You are 100% correct.

Zipperer is a stud
