Hey Ghost....

Do you want a list like ours or what. All you have to do is ask nicely

Na, let him keep this weak "recruiting thread". I like to laugh at it.

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Holy FUCK!!!!

Does Florida offer everyone in the country???

 

[goDAWGSsicem]

Yeah pretty much, they have a blanket strategy and rely on their name more than actual recruiting with most of those guys.

I can't find a list of offers without paying

You're not looking hard enough.

You're not looking hard enough.

LOL, nevermind........that was easy enough

Looks like Pease is doing his QB recruiting already.

QB - Paxton Lynch - toss up between Florida and Indiana, got no attention from Florida until Pease showed up.

 

[bchampy]

QB - Jacob Guy. Also a Pease target.

Rivals 3 Star. Both Guy and Lynch are 6'5", 200+ lbs.

Here is what next year's class looks like. Some of them are already on campus. These are the 18 or so supposedly "solid" commitments:

OT - DJ Humphries (on campus)
OG - Jessamen Dunker (on campus)
TE - Colin Thompson (committed, official visit 1/21)
TE - Kent Taylor (no LOI)
RB - Matt Jones (committed, OV 1/21)
WR - Latroy Pittman (on campus)
K - Austin Hardin (no LOI)
DT - Dante Phillips (no LOI)
DT - Jafar Mann (committed, OV 1/21)
DT - Damien Jacobs (on campus)
DT - Quinteze Williams (on campus)
DE / DT - Darius Hamilton - Rutgers is closer to home, mom wants him home, but he likes Florida. One of only Buck players Muschamp, Young, and Quinn have found. OV to Rutgers this weekend, but dad will steer him to better NFL chances. With Muschamp and Quinn on our side we can make a better business case for the NFL.
DE - Jonathan Bullard (no LOI)
LB - Antonio Morrison (on campus)
LB - Jeremi Powell (no LOI)
SS - Rhaheim Ledbetter (no LOI)
FS - Marcus Maye (no LOI)
CB - Willie Bailey (on campus)
CB - Brian Poole (committed, OV 1/21)

These 4 are considered by many to be very close:

LB - Vincent Valentine - Nebraska was #1 until his OV 1/14. "Replaced" Jamal Marcus when Jamal had problems with grades. The problem is that Gainesville is far from home in Illinois. Mom gets a vote.
CB - Tracy Howard, official visit 1/21. Looking good so far.
OC - Kyron Samuels
OL - Avery Young, official visit 1/21, watch what he does with regards to Miami next week. Problems in LSU are affecting recruits already.

These 12 have Florida on the short list. Not all of them will choose Florida.

WR - Nelson Agholor. Very likely. OV 1/21 presumably to help recruit Stefon Diggs.
WR - Stefon Diggs. OV 1/21. Looking good, probably thanks to Agholor.
WR - Josh Harvey Clemons. May lean to UGA after last week's OV. Brian White went to church with the family, so they want him. Might be interesting to see three high value receivers in the same class. The hard part is shaking this Valdosta kid away from UGA.
FB/LB - Schyler Miles
WR - Avery Johnson, LSU commit could change his mind after OV 1/21
WR - Trey Griffey
OT - Jake Meador - OV 1/14, toss up with Indiana
DT - Dalvin Tomlinson
DT - Omari Phillips - new addition, canceled OV to USF, US Army All American Bowl
DE - Dante Fowler Jr. Could be a Buck. FSU has him this week.
DE - Alex McCalister. OV 1/21. Watch what he does with FSU next week, likely solid UF. Needs to put on weight, so expect red shirt.
DL - Bryan Cox Jr. Official visit 1/21, will probably take offer to UF. NFL is in his blood.
QB - Jacob Guy

Dark horse candidates:
QB - Paxton Lynch - toss up between Florida and Indiana got no attention from Florida until Pease showed up

WR - Jaquay Williams - Auburn commit could be swayed by Florida commit Quinteze Williams

Just for historical sake, here are the high profile targets that we "lost":
WR - Courtney Gardner
DT - Visesio Salt
LB - Jamal Marcus - failed to academically qualify for offer/ scholarship
DL - Leonard Williams - changed to FSU, canceled OV to UF

Theoretically we should get the maximum 25, plus 6 early enrollees, or 31 total.

here's what we got!:
Total signed: 23

Five impact players

OT D.J. Humphries, 6-5, 265, Charlotte, N.C.
Excellent combination of quick feet and technique. Nation's No.2 overall prospect by Rivals.com and already enrolled at UF.

DE Jonathan Bullard, 6-4, 255, Shelby, N.C.
Tremendous bull rusher. Rivals considers Bullard to be the nation's top defensive end prospect, No. 6 overall in country.

DE Dante Fowler Jr., 6-3, 232, St. Petersburg
Pure speed rusher. Should give the Gators an immediate upgrade at pressuring opposing quarterbacks in obvious passing downs.

TE Colin Thompson, 6-5, 255, Warminster, Pa.
Gifted blocker. Thompson brings a physical nature to the position sorely lacking among UF's smaller tight ends.

RB Matt Jones, 6-3, 225, Seffner Armwood
Power back who appears ready for physical nature of SEC football. Fills arguably the biggest void in UF's offense.
DB Willie Bailey, 6-1, 165, Hallandale
DE Bryan Cox Jr., 6-3, 240, St. Thomas Aquinas
OL Jessamen Dunker, 6-6, 315, Boynton Beach
K Austin Hardin, 5-11, 200, Atlanta
DB Rhaheim Ledbetter, 5-11, 190, Boiling Springs, N.C.
DT JaFar Mann, 6-4, 275, Stone Mountain, Ga.
DB Marcus Maye, 6-1, 195, Melbourne Holy Trinity
DE Alex McCalister, 6-7, 212, Clemmons, N.C.
LB Antonio Morrison, 6-3, 220, Bolingbrook, Ill.
DT Dante Phillips, 6-6, 268, Venice
WR Latroy Pittman, 6-1, 190, Citra North Marion
DB Brian Poole, 5-11, 187, Bradenton Southeast
LB Jeremi Powell, 6-2, 200, Pinellas Park
TE Kent Taylor, 6-5, 220, Land O'Lakes
WR Raphael Andrades, 6-0, 190, Tallahassee Lincoln
DE Quinteze Williams, 6-4, 295, Tyrone, Ga.
DT Damien Jacobs, 6-4, 290, East Mississippi CC
QB Skyler Mornhinweg, 6-3, 215, Philadelphia,
