    Bama is not out of this one. Time to pull out all the stops we've got. This staff needs to show it can land the big fish. We'll see soon enough.

    If our Rio Grande Defense against LSU Saturday night didn't convince him that he's needed here, nothing will. With our DL commits coming in and someone like him added to the backfield, we can turn the corner.

    exactly. Roster is getting flipped something serious which is what we need AND it’s being flipped with kids from the state of FLORIDA

    and we have shown this season that regardless of class, you’ll play. True freshmen want playing time? Go earn it and you’ll see the field

    Would be genius if staff designed this year's scheme to attract the sensational DB class wee have so far. Add Cormani and, wow!

    Is Smith the James Smith DL from state of Alabama? Bama needs DL badly so... Russow? If we land one of the two and hold Kelby Collins it will be magnificent.

    Anything going on with Jax DT Jordan Hall? Rivals prediction is georgia.

    Horrible button. There should be a pop up on it and the disagree bacon buttons that forces a quoted response before it appears on a post.
    Hopper and Bogle still hurt. And you are correct and even in NIL times we should not forget that young people make decisions that we don't understand. The other staffs that want to take our commits and land the players we discuss, they bring up everything negative they can and frame it as if our staff is out of their league.
    Exactly what more established staffs with better track records are saying to our commits and recruits.
    Will be blown away if that happens.
    Anything but...

    Absolutely. Flipping the roster is a great way to say it, and then being from Florida is key. Our best teams were built in Florida talent

    We need them all!!!

    the thing with the Bama boys is that they (I know this often doesn’t hold up) have been billed as a pair from day one. The linebacker of the group loves Florida but the DT leans bama from what I’ve seen.
    I would take either or both but def want both.

    Gotta hold on to kelby and I’ve seen the same in hall but he values PT a lot and he is quoted as seeing it in the games he has attended. He also said he wants to try to make it to two more of our games, although one will be WLOCP.
    The 3 players (Russaw, smith, Cormani) would result in a 5 star at every level of our defense. DT, LB, DB. Game changers for this defense

    I for once and confident we will get 2-3 of the players mentioned above. All of them would be absurd

    ^^^this. Seeing freshman play at all levels of the defense has to be appealing. Competition for playing time alone will produce a better defense

    Cormani is a must get... out of need & significance. I need some interior lineman. Sign as many as possible, sort things out afterwards. Building up the roster at the expense of bama is just sprinkles on ice cream

    So, true... all of this. I think we're finally getting to see the players who play best getting a chance. Hope there are even more young defensive players that get a chance next game, too, because a lot of the guys out there now aren't earning their pay.

    Hoping. If staff could pull something close I would be amazed.

    FWIW on state of bama prospects, We aren't likely the only ones advising that Saban's not likely there in a couple seasons. Our staff will be.

    Yes, Russaw and Smith are the teammates from Alabama, and Collins also from Alabama is recruiting hard for the Gators so he's locked in with the Gators, IMHO.

    im trying to get yall to accept we not missing out on Cormani lol. Be as confident as I am. Hope this helps…..

    5-star Plus+ CB Cormani McClain

    The buzz: One source said, "This one has been over." Cormani McClain has locked in his commitment date for Oct. 27. He is will announce his decision between Alabama, Florida and Miami. McClain, a Five-star Plus+ prospect out of Lakeland (Fla.) has never been fond of the recruiting process and he is ready to get it over with.

    Alabama made a serious run at the elite defender, and at one time, the Crimson Tide had some traction, but the Gators have pulled away. Billy Napier has shown him enough. Corey Raymond came in and did an excellent job establishing trust with McClain and his family. Florida is close to home, their are ties to Lakeland at the Swamp and there is nothing I am hearing that changes my On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine pick from the Gators.

    With the Manning name inflation in place we would have to be very happy with him picking us as a pretty clear cut #1 in the 23 class, regardless of Manning's placement as #1.
