Signing Day Thread

I'm with ooze on this one( as a neutral observer)...
Next years gator class must be top 5-7 at minimum, and be heavy on the big guys.... I fully expect some of your o lineman to be processed out.
I looked at the spreadsheet and was amazed at the number of 3 star guys you had after the front line guys. I will especially be interested in the defense after this year because most of your higher ranked guys are on the defense.
It is eerily similar to Bobby's last days when Urban was cleaning up and we got stuck with a couple of blue chips and a majority of 3 star "2nd choices"....those 3 star 2nd choices rarely equate to winning much.
I don't think it means UF goes 4-8 again, but I do think it may be tough sledding in the East and vs FSU for a couple years unless McElwain really has an eye for underrated talent. For every single 3 star Calloway though there are usually 10 3 star " meh" guys...

What quotes? I get the impression he is cool with status quo and Nord and Summers are sticking around. Callahan seemed to have been fired because he butted heads with Shannon more than anything else.
Solid class...we need players to be developed...QB play is going to be key this season.
A backup 2* QB with a cannon for an arm! I can't wait! #sarcasm
Relax Insta...I'm just kidding.

Well it's still better than a QB that can't hit a 8 yard smoke screen with a wideout standing still.
"Next year, I can guarantee you that we will be able to complete a pass against air."
That really IS the context in which the last half of the season has to be viewed.
It beats having a 5 star who nearly fudged up the victory formation.A backup 2* QB with a cannon for an arm! I can't wait! #sarcasm

Calm down folks.....I was just poking the bear. Insta is a HUGE Trask fan, and thought I'd get'em fired up.
Obviously I hope the kid has a helluva career at UF, but I'm still concerned about giving a scholly to a backup. ijs

One of the things that used to frustrate me with the Head Ball Coach's teams was that we would sign 4-5* OL all the time, yet couldn't block worth a darn, then we go play somebody like Auburn and Miss State and watch their 3* linemen blow us off the ball all game long.
From what I've seen, the difference in the stars for Olinemen is how polished they are, how well they know technique. They are all tall, wide and strong. If you tell me these 3 star guys we got aren't very polished but are coachable, as mean as heck and love to hit, I will be more than happy with them.
