    I would be shocked if Marvin Harrison, Jr. plays college football next year.

    If he comes to UF, DJ will be the difference.

    I wouldn't. Comes from money and a good home. I'm sure his NIL deal is substantial. Very little reason not to.

    Harrison is gone. This is his 3rd year.

    You’re really not getting the point. OSU has Hartline, who is WR Coach1, in the sport. His reputation for coaching the position and getting them to the league is on a different level.

    Now, I don’t know what he has between the ears …or what his family and upbringing is like …or how he does with academics. Obviously, those would be game changers. But based on talent alone, at this stage of his career, many say he is the best wr prospect of the last 4 cycles. And it’s not just a handful

    This guy ain’t sitt’n

    You are right. tOSU has Harrison listed as a junior this season. He'll be in the NFL draft and playing in the NFL next year. Just think, he went to a highly rated recruit, but 4 star nonetheless. It's what they do when they get to the college level that counts.

    Never said Smith would sit. I did say and still do that he will have more competition and will have to share field time more at tOSU than at UF.

    Our biggest pitch to smith is having Lagway throw to him for 2-3 years

    I'm not sure we're even the #2 choice for Smith.

    Well, he's from south Florida, so maybe he wants a change of climate from sunny Florida winters to long, gray Ohio ones.

    Was just reading the front page on Friday Night Frenzy. I'm curious how the recruiting services, 247 in particular, come up with their ratings. Myles Graham is rated 5th nationally at his position in their composite and 77th overall. Unless the numbers are a mistake, he only has 15 tackles in 8 games. What's he doing to receive that high a rating?

    I believe he plays both running back and linebacker so maybe that has something to do with it.

    Even then, his offensive stats aren't that great either.

    I didn't miss the point. If a position coach is his paramount priority, he isn't coming to UF for Lagway or anyone else. He isn't an option. I don't know why he continues to be discussed as anything more than a very low percent possibility.

    Good luck to him at tOSU. I'm sure Carnell Tate, Bryson Rodgers, and Jayden Ballard are going to bow down to Jeremiah Smith's greatness even though they have been in the system and have prepared themselves for the rigors of college football and beyond. No need to mention tOSU's two 5-star slot WRs as that isn't Smith's position.

    I believe UF will gkip Grimsley, Mincey may be a silent. So I put both in the 75+ % category. Smith is a long shot at 10% and Seaton at 33%.All of these are just MHO. As of today.

    Jayzess! …Who said bow down? I didn’t. The kid isn’t sitting anywhere. And yes, he’s an incredible talent. No reason to be a wiseass over it.

    He's a junior this year and should be a top 10 pick in the draft. The Colts would love to have him as a legacy.

    I’ve seen more than one mock having the Bears take Williams and Harrison 1 and 2. Will be especially interesting if Harbaugh flies the coop back to the NFL and Chicago.
