Our recruiting ratings are plummeting

We had no idea. Thanks for letting us know.

 

“If I don’t sign 25 quality guys I probably won’t be here long” - Billy Napier

 

ESPN2 guy just said he talked to D J Lagway's father, who told him the Southern Cal & Lincoln Riley have been in touch with them and are trying very hard to flip him from Florida. USC's starting QB is going to the NFL, their freshman 5-star back-up Malachi Nelson is in the transfer portal and they have no QB in their current signing class. Lagway has been the diamond and linchpin of this class from the beginning. If we lose him ......

 

Unfortionatly it seems pretty reasonable. As a rectruit you are seeing a team that appeared to be disorganized and underpeformed, a coach sitting firmly on the hot seat, and at what could be argued the hardest schedule in the country. Even the most fervent suporters can see a scenerio where CBN does not make it to the end of the season, imagine what our opposition is saying.

 

Who missed out (per ESPN)

Florida Gators


While the Gators did hold on to five-star quarterback D.J. Lagway, who was being targeted by Texas A&M, Florida lost nine recruits throughout the entire process, including ESPN 300 safety Xavier Filsaime, who flipped to Texas on Dec. 18.

Filsaime is the No. 42 recruit overall and the No. 2 safety in the class. The Longhorns were also able to get ESPN 300 running back Jerrick Gibson, the No. 34 recruit, who decommitted from Florida very early in the process.

Texas flipped ESPN 300 corner Wardell Mack from the Gators as well. Mack is the No. 263 recruit overall and flipped in November.

Florida also lost five-star defensive lineman Jamonta Waller and four-star DE Amaris Williams, who both flipped to Auburn. Waller is the No. 19 recruit overall and the No. 4 defensive end in the class.

This is still a good haul for Florida, but it could've been a lot better, and the signing day process doesn't instill a lot of confidence given how many recruits almost flipped, or considered flipping, near the end.

 

#15 on Rivals.
#15 on 247.

 

That ranking includes
WR Williams

Not yet signed

 

#1 Decommit class though

 

Well, we are another laughing stock again. Same as every signing day. Hoping we hang onto McCray and flip Seaton.

 

Battling Vandy for bottom rung of SEC ladder

 

I hope you know he's counting transfers... as he should.

 

From 247:
"I'm continuing to hear what I mentioned in my story last night, that Jordan Seaton quietly took an official to Maryland over the weekend, again adding credence to Maryland's class for flipping the five-star IMG offensive lineman. While Deion Sanders and other coaches likely thought he was at home a week before signing day, he was in College Park with Mike Locksley, his coaching staff and players."

 

More upsetting news:
WR Izaiah Williams has flipped to TAMU.
That makes 10 defections in the last month or so.

 

Just in:
Our equipment manager has entered the transfer portal in search of the Smoothie Girl.

 

Bingo.

 

I’m slapping cheeks tonight so I’m good
