Signees

They hit on a backup plan.

 

I for one will celebrate the ones that want to be Gators. I’ll leave the crying over those departed for other programs to those that relish in misery. Welcome to Gator Nation young man!

 

“Still expecting DJ Lagway to sign with Florida after talking to his father.”

 

Gregory Smith to the Good Guys!

 

Yes. This. Can you now imagine running 13 guys out on the field next season and losing that first game to SCum? Or maybe 3 guys with the same number?! Or getting 4&17 only to blow that??!! Sorry. Had to get it out...GG! No more excuses. Just win some games already.

 

Gregory Smith was cold. Idk if any of you were watching. He said he was going to Vandy and my jaw just dropped. After everyone was dumbfounded he then switched it to UF.
Had me thinking we got locker stuffed by Vandy.

 

Haha! Have been watching these types of posts from you and others all day. So assuming you must be a large contributor to the collective and therefore, unhappy with how your money is being spent. And before asking I rarely post but do donate to the collective. The biggest fallacy in this argument is that the people controlling whether we spend money on these kids are the same people that will decide Napiers fate. Not message board posters and what they feel they were sold. There is a balance. You can’t just pony up money for every kid that wants more. You don’t thing that the national player of the year is sitting on a very big bag. One that maybe Auburn doesn’t have so they spend that money on others knowing matching would be difficult or problematic at times for us. Especially knowing we have a lot of holes to fill. Hey I wish money were unlimited but it isn’t.
I think there should almost be a rule that anyone that types the fact our collective did not spend enough should be accompanied with a copy of the check you just wrote to the collective to help purchase that recruit. I am joking of course. Anyone can type anything. It just seems easier to tell everyone else to spend their money for what you want.

 

Clearly, you haven't done your homework. This kid is the best player on his team playing QB, S, and CB. His film shows him to be athletic, fast, and talented. With UF, he'll be able to concentrate on defense. If he's a backup plan, he's a good one.

 

Also Gregory Smith, like all of the Safeties we've signed today, outweighs Xavier Filwhatever.

 

What the hell is talking to his dad about?

 

I think the days of backup plans are mostly gone. Better to just get a solid performer in the portal than a long term project.

 

Clearly, huh. I didn’t say anything about him not being good. He was a backup plan though, nothing wrong with that, they needed one. UF beat Ole Miss, Virginia & Vandy for him.

 

The original post said the NIL money was there, the staff just refused to sign a player that seemed greedy.

 

We've signed 2 out of 3 of our uncommitted targets: RB Jadan Baugh and DB Gregory Smith III.

Any word on OL Favour Edwin?

We also signed 3 very good portal transfers: OL Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, DB Trickwese Bridges and WR Chimere Dike.

 

Honestly, Freeze is a darn good coach, yes he made some mistakes, who hasn't, but he will turn that program around a lot faster than well you know who.

 

And I don't know if he has signed but we were told we have a top punter comin' in too! GG!

 

They've been recruiting him for months.

 

Yep, and a 6'4" he makes X look like a midget.

 

Exactly. The kid is a fantastic athlete. He's played a lot of different positions and sports. Now that he's 100% at safety the sky's the limit.

Who ever is labeling this kid as a "backup plan" is ignorant and disrespectful. The Gators have been on him for months and had a scholarship offer regardless who signed with UF.

 

Mike Holloway might want him for the long jump too.
