    I put this together the other day. I called it my optimistic, but realistic mock class:


    QB: Marcus Stokes

    RB: Treyaun Webb

    Slot: Eugene Wilson, Creed Whittemore

    Outside WR: Aiden Mizell, Andy Jean, Tyree Patterson

    TE: None

    OT: Bryce Lovett, Cam Jones

    IOL: Knijeah Harris, ?, ? No idea on the other 2 slots here.


    1-Technique DT: Jordan Hall, John Walker

    3-Technique DT: Will Norman, Kamran James

    SDE: TJ Searcy, Gavin Hill

    WDE: Isaiah Nixon

    LB: No clue, looking bad right now. Try to flip the South Carolina commits maybe.

    S: Jordan Castell, Aaron Gates, Dequavious Sorey

    CB: Cormani McClain, Sharif Denson, Ja’Keem Jackson

    Pretty sure you're kidding, but, it does highlight the point that more than a few people here have really short memories and act like there's nothing happening.

    FWIW, I'm high on Patterson, Whittemore, Lovett, and Knijeah Harris based on when we were willing to take their commitments. Those guys typically drag our average down, but early on they were takes for our coaching staff, showing they didn't view them the same way the recruiting services did. I expect all of them to be really solid players for us.

    And I really like the 5 WRs it looks like we are going to take. Really solid group, and I think we beat out UGA and Miami for a lot of those guys. If you understand that Patterson and Whittemore were our earliest takes out of the group and then the other 3 are very highly touted players it means for the most part we landed the guys near the top of our board at that position. And they all have different skill sets.

    That list is spot-on, though I'm not sure Sorey wants to play safety.

    July 7 was when these guys started popping. Just thought we would have a couple more between then and now.

    Heck, Walker just got crystal balled to UCF. LaBlanc still OU.

    Why not? All it takes is one big fan, right? Crazy to think that these guys would give up elite schools for a little bit more money up front.

    Regarding LeBlanc and Walker, I'm not betting on either but counting on getting three of Kelby Collins, LeBlanc, Walker, Jordan Hall, Will Norman and Kamran James. Is that realistic? Can either Searcy or Hill grow into DTs?

    One possible option if we whiff on LBs is moving Devin Moore to OLB. I remember reading that he was sort of a tweener and a very hard hitter. Better still, scout like hell during the fall and find some quality three star LBs who fit UF's scheme.

    Norman and James are the only two I see UF getting.

    We need to chase that new kid that just overtook Manning as the number one QB for 2023. I think his name is Malachi Nelson.

    Go Gators.

    You mean the new kid from Cali who's been committed to USC since November?

    FYI, Manning is still the number one prospect with 247, Rivals and On3. Not sure that ESPN is even relevant with their recruiting coverage these days.

    We will see. just because three out of four have the same opinion does not make them right.
