Hayes was our 2nd LB commit in a class that was going to take 3 or maybe 4 LB's. He wasn't the reason that Jones went to UGa. Maybe Chiles, who committed in June may have impacted Jones decision, but Hayes had been a UF commitment since Jan 2023.
Chiles was the take over Jones. Hayes played his game and lost his spot, here's hoping we land a portal LB that can contribute early
Same effect though no? If we didn't land hayes we would still be looking for another LB or did they just not like Jones's game? Recruits have the right to change their minds but the ones that do it so late they leave a vacant spot in a class that otherwise could be filled are really the only ones that "bother" me.
I didn't think it was possible, but I actually saw some improvement from Wingo. Scooby is a lost cause IMO and should be moved to WDE (He is a decent pass rusher). I didn't see enough of Robinson to form an opinion. Shemar can play, but I don't even think he is a MLB run-stuffer. He is our only current SEC level LB.
