    You think Kamran James is a 3 star player? Rivals has him the lowest of all the services.at a lowly 3*. Seems a bit off to me.

    Early signing day has really impacting this trend. It's been six years and about 2/3rds of prospects become unavailable after December. If you do not have a good core locked in, you spend the next two months scrambling either for B-list players, or courting the top 1%. The gap is nearly insurmountable.

    Scouting has really shifted from senior year performances to junior year performances. By the time a kid plays all his games, he's likely already signed with a college.

    Weren't we 12th with On3 after Robinson? Kelby should have moved the needle.

    So does Andy Jean who On3 has ranked #49 at WR. Not saying Rivals is perfect but I think they're better than On3. IMO, 247, Rivals and On3 are all more reliable than ESPN.

    Yea. We'll definitely jump ahead of Tennessee. Looking at the programs in the top 10, it's gonna take a string of high 4 star prospects to move up much more unless McClain pops early or UF gets a surprise commit from some other 5 star prospect. I added four probable commits to the 18 we already have in 247's class calculator and we jumped up to #6 but that's based on the other schools' current commits. I'm thinking we finish somewhere between 7th and 10th. The wild card will be player re-rankings during the season.

    I'd love to see what the rankings would be if we got Smith and Russaw to commit to us.

    Here, I added Smith, russaw, cormani, Norman, james and dijon and this is where we would be points wise. We would be about #2 with how points are right now. Now way to really tell what players others schools will lose or add.

    At 24 commits it puts us in second place behind Bama, that is if no one moves up on us....

    We have to at least get the ones we're supposed to get. Players like Cormani and Dijon plus others... I like our chances with Will Norman and Kamran James too.

    I also noticed that we have some players that are in the 80's which I think will be bumped up after one more high school year.

    There is some chatter that Desmond Ricks might be trying to re-classify for 2023... That makes me think that he's all Gator.

    Keep doing what they're doing and we'll have a great class. A couple if difference makers would make an amazing class.

    I'd like to see a couple of OL beasts. I wonder if staff already have their eyes on potential transfers that they recruited the last few years.

    Bobby, considering where UF was 2 months ago, we seem to be one of the top ascending programs in the country.

    The tea leaves are still reading very positively, if this momentum continues
    it will just be an amazing climb.

    I don't want to get too carried away but it now seems possible we could actually get close to 6 or 7 with another surprise or two.

    Come on Cormani, let's get that Gator cap on! Help this class SURGE my brother!!!!
