Our current RB commit is ranked #28 and Bowens, who rose to top 10 status when he committed to UGA, is now at #35.

#2 showed up for a game recently, not sure if he is really interested in UF. We also just offered #38 on the list, haven’t seen any visit arranged yet.

Is it time for UF to win a local boy five star battle?

Maybe Gibson is seeing that Baxter, a #1 RB in the country has similar stats to Webb, our clear cut 3rd string.

Aren’t we actively recruiting for another ‘24 RB?

I don't know about that. We seem to be in on more than one more running back right now. I hear the chatter about 3, not that we would sign that many more. But I suspect that we sign at least one more back in 2024.

This is my opinion on the possibilities and likely hood of how the 24 class rounds up.
QB- D.J is solid and has made several trips to Gville including this past Saturday where he helped with Seaton. I'm told Seaton enjoyed the visit and likes Lagway a lot. A couple of things in UF's favor are early playing time opportunity , his relationship with Lagway and a competitive NIL deal. In addition, the game day atmosphere at UF has been very good this year including even the Vandy game.

PWO offered: DJ.s team mate, WR DeBraun Hampton has been offered bu UF. He and DJ are good friends and I believe it will happen. I assume Hampton has been told , he can work this into a full ride and can point to Kalil Jackson as an example.

RB: Jerrick Gibson visited for the Charlotte game. I don't think it hurt but do not see him in the class as of now. UF also offered Nebraska commit, Kewan Lacy out of Texas. TBH, I don't see a 2nd back in the class as of now.

OL: I think UF's commits remain firm and they will do everything they can to land Seaton. UF likes their current commits and I have been told Portnjagin would be a 4* if he was playing in the U.S. Seaton would make a good OL class a very good OL class if he comes on board.

TE: We perhaps saw a TE emerge last week as Bordingham won SEC Freshmen of the week. Most have been much more critical of the TE room than I have as I just felt their was talent although young talent in the room. With that said, the numbers dictate that UF will just add Amir Jackson who they believe will be a great one. Adding Jackson will give UF 3 very atheletic TE's in Bordingham, Livingston and Jackson. Lest we forget, Zipperer should return also for next year. Very solid group IMO.

WR: UF sits with 3 very good WR for 24 in Izaiah Williams, Jerrae Hawkins and TJ Abrams. Just adding them to the 23 class of Jean, Wilson and Mizell would be a good haul. It would make this group perhaps as fast as any in the country. However UF would love to add one more and it's the usual suspects who have been mentioned before. Smith, Ny Carr and Chance Robinson. I believe if certain things happen UF will add one more WR to the mix. Remember, UF came into the season with low numbers at WR. If one of those are not added then UF will look for a WR in the portal and may regardless.

DL: One time commit Michai Boireau visted for the Vandy game and says the visit was a perfect 10. Some believe there is a good possibility he could return to the class. In addition UF is still working Texas commit D'antre Robinson. Robinsons family is pro Gator and distance could become a factor in the attempted flip of Robinson. I have not heard UF involved with any other interior DL for now. UF's other DL commits are solid.

LB: Four studs who all seem solid. scUM is doing their best to flip Hayes and hosted him for the Georgia Tech fiasco. Assuming these four stay on board I could see all of them contributing at the very least on Special teams as true freshmen.

DB: UF sits with Foster and Mack at corner, Davis and Filsame at the safety spots. I could see one more being added to the class. Mincey or Howard with Mincey being the best bet.

Final breakdown: LJ McCray, Robinson, Boireau on DL board, Seaton on OL board, Smith, Carr and Robinson for WR board and Mincey and Howard on DB board. My prediction is McCray and one of the other two on DL. 30/70 on Seaton, Mincey gets DB spot.

2025 Class: UF is off and running and in a very good place with many 25 guys already.

An abbreviated CandyGram is better than no CandyGram!

Crazy.... this offense is set up for a RB to thrive. Especially if they can catch out the backfield.

Can someone name ALL of the stud RB’s we have had over the years?

Yes, but it would take me too long to type
Tommy Durrance and Mike Rich were the first ones I saw live

I was in the 9th grade, playing on the Charlotte High School JV squad. A friend/teammate and his dad took me to the Miss St - Gator game. Gators won 34-13. Somehow, we ended up on the sidelines at the end of the game. I met and got autographs from Mike Rich, Tommy Durrance, and John Reaves. Reaves tossed me his sweat band. I’ve been a Gator ever since. The autographs are framed and hanging in my Gator room.

Was at that game, 1970 I think.Tthat same year I got Youngblood, Alvarez, Reaves, Fred Abott, Durrance Rich to sign my hat. Was all in at 6 years old

My first Gator game was the 1969 Gator Bowl between Florida and Tennessee. I got to see John Reaves, Carlos Alvarez and Tommy Durance.

Wanne15 · Nov 1, 2023

My first was a cocktail party as a kid and Wes became my hero. He scored a td and dunked it over the goalpost. He hurt himself and we lost. I started hating puppies on that day.
