- plus a sprinter and long jumper.
Let's be honest, you don't lose four quality 4star recruit seniors at the wide receiver position and think that their production is going to be replaced by the kids you just named on our roster such as Mark's, Whittemore, and Weston. That's why replacing them with quality 4stars like Henderson is very important. I still wish that we hadn't missed out on Marcus Rosemy this summer. We are really going to have to rely on Grimes (pending), Copeland, and Toney to show out all of next season. By the way, could you imagine the firepower we'd have if Biletnikoff winner Chase had chosen to stay committed to us?! Damn son!No worries mates on the WR recruiting / xfers for the 2020 season,,, we've got guys...
Rick Wells 6-0 202 reminds me a bit of a larger version of Travis McGriff 5-8 185.
Travis mostly sat behind a great receiver corp (Ike-Reidel-Ques) until 1998. Then he was named a 1st Team All SEC WR in his Sr season. He caught 70 balls for an SEC season record 1,357 yds, with 10 TD's.
As a Gator, you only need one good season to get your shot at the NFL. Travis was drafted by the Broncos.
Sr WR Hammond believes Wells is ready to break out.
“Definitely, I like Rick a lot,” Hammond said about a breakout season for Wells. “He’s been humbled, worked his tail off. He’s definitely had his moments when he’s been down. Right now, he’s been making the plays he needs to. He’s growing constantly, day in and day out. I think our coaching staff is really starting to see him grow and develop into that playmaking guy that they want him to be. I think he’ll be a really big playmaker for the team next year (2020). He just has to continue to work, continue to stay focused. He’ll be really good for the Florida Gators next year.”
"We have a lot of names that some may be unfamiliar with," Mullen said. "And even more people are unfamiliar with how good these players are. We’re going to get the first real look at them in the spring and they have to get ready for a big fall season in 2020."
Everybody knows about Jacob Copeland already, but most seem to forget the one's that were signed in the last class. For 2020 add in these guys:
Dionte Marks 6-2 178 rsFr
HS Sr - 45 for 964 yds, 21.4 yds/rec, 11 TD's.
He was also a KR and helped his team to the FL 8A Playoffs.
T&F - Standing Broad Jump of 11'-3",
Ja'Markis Weston 6-3 217 rsFr (raw, but a freakish HS athlete)
Trent Whittenmore 6-3 192 rsFr (HS played 4-5 positions on both sides of the ball)
All 3 of these 2020 rsFr are beginning their 2nd year with Savage and BillyG, and they have been going against the Gators DB-U Secondary while playing on the Scout team. As I said,,, No Worries Mates...
Manuel is not even signed with us yet, Britt dropped dramatically in the rankings during the summer, and pouncey couldn't cut the cheese at Texas, which only leaves us with good quality in Fraziars at the moment. Toney is electric sometimes, but couldn't come even close to holding the great Percy Harvin's jock strap. And I don't even understand your reasoning in bringing up Arjei Henderson. But if you think we don't need to worry about WR recruiting, you're delusional.Do try and pay a little better attention to the postings...
My post was about the 2020 WR recruiting, and the forgotten 2019 recruits.
Some only seem to remember and whine about the gator-bait, instead of remembering the Gators.
2020 Recruits: per Rivals
WR Ja'Quavion Fraizers 6-4 205 **** - ESPN 300 - signed
WR Leonard Manuel 6-4 205 **** - ESPN 300 - NSD
Ath/WR Marc Britt 6-1 180 **** - ESPN 300 - NSD
WR Jordan Pouncey 6-3 205 *** Tx rsSo Grad-xfer - signed
2019 Recruits: - Per ESPN
WR Dionte Marks 6-2 178 ****
Ath Trent Whittemore 6-3 192 **** (QB/WR/KR/P/CB/S)
WR JaMarkis Weston 6-3 217 ***
Mullen said: "So they (services) think he's a 3-star?
Then he laughs, says: "well, I guess we'll see about that."
-----
WR Arjei Henderson 6-1 183 **** (academic casualty to JaxSt Juco)
Elsewhere I've posted the entire projected 2020 WR roster.
Wells rsSr
Toney Sr
Grimes Sr
Copeland rsSo
Ath/WR Jaylin Jackson 5-8 172 rsSo -- iG's Slot/KR dark-horse
The way Toney's a smaller version of Harvin, Jaylin is a smaller version of Toney.
Jaylin went 30-5 as a QB-dt in a Tampa HS.
Jus-damn dude....
I'm not going all those angles as far as taking into account RB's as receivers (Perine is gone, bud) and Pitts. You clearly stated WR recruiting and that we shouldn't worry about it, when I believe we should and need to. I hope you would trust CDM over some recruitniks drivel (lol) but ask yourself has CDM won any sort of Championship in his 10-11 years of coaching? Or are you one of those fans who continue to be content with 10 or 11 win seasons only to amount to a NY6 bowl game? Let's stay clear from this mediocre path, buddy.This year, we need the two Hard commits to make it in on NSD, with a solid plus one if available to reach the desired depth, per Dan.
And they'd like to get a decent RB to get to the 5 RB depth level. Other than that, the class is full for this recruiting cycle.
The only hitch to that would be IF Toney or Grimes chose to leave early, but that's not expected to happen.
As to any that dropped or went up per the recruiting services, I choose to go with Dan's choices and decisions, not with an outsiders ranking or a recruit-nicks drivel....
Until Spring and then Fall practices have come and gone, none of us knows how the 2020 WR's will pan out. Also, this discussion has left out the RB's as receivers and the TE's, like Pitts etc...
Insta,
Do try and pay a little better attention to the postings...

No worries mates on the WR recruiting / xfers for the 2020 season,,, we've got guys...
As I said,,, No Worries Mates...
Couldn't agree with you more, Jeff!!!....we need premier playmakers, and that comes with recruiting.
We have Pitts and others...our running game should be better but we'll see how much.
With Grimes, Pitts, Copeland and Toney we have elite playmakers. What we don't have is depth. Stay healthy and we are rock solid, injuries creep in and we are in trouble.
We have players and talent but it's unproven...players are going to have to step up and the running game will have to be better. Some were talking about Pitts going into the season but nobody would have bet their house that he would have a break out year and be one of our best receivers. We will have injuries but guys need to step up!
You won....conversation is dead once you start boldly comparing Kadarius Toney to Percy Harvin. Not sure if anyone can take you serious on that, but carry on..
You mean the OL for a 10-2 Top 10 team in a NY-6 Bowl game.
Not as good as we all hoped, but still pretty damn good and improving imo.
With just 9.4 games, behind that OL, 2-starTrask finished as the #3 rated QB in the SEC.
IRL, there are gonna be plus and minuses in every situation.
While the OL wasn't perfect against some of the best defenses in the nation, they also weren't chopped liver..
2019 Rushing Stats
UF 1,443 Net YD's, 4.0 YPC --- Opp 1,284 Net YD's, 3.2 YPC
UF/Gm 120.3 --- Opp/Gm 107.0
UF 18 TD's --- Opp 9 TD's
Yep, compared to UF's opponents, the Gators couldn't run a lick...
==========
Jock carrying silly arguments aside....
RB/WR Percy Harvin 5-11 195 - YPC 9.5 - Yds/rec 14.5
WR Kadarius Toney 5-11 194 - YPC-11.4 - Yds/Rec 10.4
Limited early by coaching decisions, then last 2 seasons by roster depth and injuries.
WR/ST's Jaylin Jackson - Played in just 2 Gms as a tFr, and redshirted.
HS Rush - 1,858 Yds, 30 TD's
Passing - 5,621 Yds, 66 TD's
CB - 40 Tlks, 6 Ints + he was the starting PG on his B-Ball team.
30-5 as starting QB-dt, 12-1 Sr season to the FL Semi-finals.
>>> Limited at UF so far by the depth/talent at his position.
BTW, he had D-1 offers including SEC, but he CHOSE to W-O at UF instead.
He's just another sorry 2-star QB,,, maybe like a 2-star Trask someday?
============
So if you want to join the negative-nellies with constant whining and sniveling, instead of enjoying the resurgence of Gator football, then have at it. I choose to see the glass as half full and on a steady climb.
Are you mad? Is being known or "heard of" on a message board your greatest claim to life? Lol, of so, you're a sad individual bro. Glad you took the time to chime in with fellow gator fans..

Percy Harvin: The Real Reason Urban Meyer Won BCS Titles at Florida | Fanbuzz https://fanbuzz.com/college-footbal...AzEUEPLpjSiSCpEkeFy83Htt93WaACkZ-p7FTyNsPg3WkAt least Toney's not a pot-head with migraines making him both a risk and inconsistent.
Did Percy play with the same overall player talent level that Toney has?
How about coaching staff stability differences between them?
I never said that Toney was Percy, but I've called him Harvin-lite, and I think that he's shown that he has that kind of potential. Are you disputing the facts/stats?
RB/WR Percy Harvin ------- 5-11 195 - YPC 9.5 - Yds/rec 14.5
