Lamar Jackson with his Gator backpack on signing day, what could have been.
Miss the old national signing day as well. Times have changed.

New Story The One That Got Away:
- Thread starter JasonHigdon
- Start date
Grier really could have saved McElwain if he had stayed.
So many but to pick only one it’s Derrick Henry, except that Muschamp who was a blind squirrel when it comes to offense would have made him into an undersized rush end. Ah, but what might have been with that guy in our backfield. He would have made Jeff Driskel look good. Maybe.
Players for me since 2000.
Meyer era - CJ Spiller; No Coaches
WMusch - Derek Henry as a RB; Lane Kiffen(OC)/Tosh Lupoi
Jimmy Mc - Will Greer and his last recruit class Matty C/Jamar Chase; Coaches a quality OC.
Mullen - Justin Fields, Leatherwood; Coaches a quality DC
CBN - the two Oline at Miami and Xavier F: Coaches Koletecki(Sp?) an OC, OL coach and DC.

I always thought if Driskel was paired with Mullen he would have had a hole different outcome to his career.
Cook also had all kinds of disciplinary issues throughout high school. (& earlier)
He was just so good that pretty much all schools were willing to look the other way
Cam Newton. Yes I’m aware that’s a little cheating since we did land him as a recruit but he’s certainly the one we let get away.
I would say CJ spiller, but I think we still have a good chance
You nailed most of them. For Mac, I’d say Lamar Jackson. He nearly got him. Had he landed Jackson, he might still be coaching Florida. I’d prefer Dalvin Cook over Henry personally. Just think he’s a better fit for Florida offensive style.
Fields was Mac. Fields had already committed to Georgia when Mullen was hired. Mac took Corral because he didn’t want to wait on Fields.
We beat FSU year 1. Probably beat Vanderbilt. Year 2 I believe we don't lose against Arkansas and Missouri with Perkins.
YES, let's just think what unfolds if Mullen stays put in 2009: Our offense doesn't suck, the team stays focused and beats Saban and the Longhorns, Jaguars or some other NFL team steals Urban and Mullen gets promoted. In 2012, Mullen wins a NC, nabs Cook and keeps FSu from their tainted 2013 title before the wheels start falling off from Mullen recruiting and he is fired in 2016 and we hire Kirby Smart.
You didn’t say it had to be football so I’ll go with Shai Alexander. Donovan put in all the work, Alexander blows up, and UK just swoops in and takes him.
My first thought is CJ Spiller. And he should definitely be on the list -- there are more jokes about him finally coming or transferring we were so infatuated with him even when he was at Clemson and wanted him to transfer. But if you think about it... ...Spiller is the one who lost out. He was in school from 2006 to 2009. The guy would be wearing 2 National Championship rings if he had come to UF.
Jamar Chase. He was committed right??
On the coaching side - Bob Stoops the first time Urban quit, if I remember correctly there was a chance he might have come.
Effing this^^^ Stefon Diggs and Jamar chase. Was torn between listing the two but my dude listed them for me
Yeah, but he played in one meaningful game (no acc game is meaningful) and he fumbled twice and cost them the game (The rose bowl humiliation against Oregon). Nothing he did after that matters at all. He wasted his college years at a third rate clown college in a town that smells like burned spaghetti-o’s and acted on the side of evil. So screw dalvin crook and screw f$u.
