4* DE Kelby Collins recaps OV's to UF, USCe, UGA [Update: Commits To Florida]

Getting 4 DL to me would be too light with only two DT after being behind as it was. As long as our haul comes mostly from them plus Hill on the DL I am OK with that as long as 2 of them are James and Hall.

 

That's a really big lift for the coaching team. Hope they can pull that off.

 

I don't even think McDonald has been to Clemson on a visit yet. He seemed like he had a good time on a his visits to gainesville.

 

I bet the overall goal for new DL is more in the 6-7 range (almost has to be numbers wise right?) but I wonder if we keep the freshman numbers at a “normal” level 4-5(?) and try to hit the portal for some class balance and more physically mature lineman, if possible

 

Don't count out Kelby Collins. Coaches are working hard on this one. I hope we can land him. He would be a nice addition for sure.

 

Meh, if he’s up for the highest bidder and playing games, there are other kids out there.

 

Yep

 

Talk to him face to face and make a decision. Good coaches have to be judges of people.

 

I don't fault a kid for maximizing his money but this system is screwed up when a kid can hold a staff and school hostage until signing day. Wish there was some sort of way they could fix the "committed " but visiting situation.

 

Ohio State cut the mustard loose. That’s how you fix it.

 

I'm curious if that's true though. Aren't they hurting for defense? Unless that's confirmed I could see that as a story made up to save face.

 

Surely could be but how many top 100 secondary kids do they have? You have to set precidency as to how to conduct business and going to UF for a raise is not how I would do it.

 

I mean I agree but an Alpha type coach can't just give up on recruiting a kid because he's not a guarantee. It's a tough situation to navigate. Can't want elite kids and then give up as soon as they want to "look around."

 

You better be elite if you mess with me. If the next guy is even close, I’d move on

 

Who is Khaotic Vibes? What does he know? More speculation...

 

Gotta get a near 300 pound tackle 6'5" or shorter. The players who've committed plus most of the prospects left on the board look like strong side defensive ends.

 

Jordan Hall, Kayden McDonald, or Xzavier McLeod. I think we are going to land one of those 3.
