    Idk. Billy doesn’t strike me as the guy to pay McLain more than say what Jason Marshall might be making.. i may be wrong…
    He may be able to pony up to DL because let’s be honest there isn’t a whole lot of toes to step on with our DL…

    No bidding wars!

    We let them know we want them and that our players are well taken care of. If you are among our best players and a good teammate then you will have the opportunity to earn as much as any player in the country. You earn what you become at the University of Florida. Not the other way around.

    Dexter must be getting paid. Marshall would have to be in the neighborhood too. It’s either pony up or you won’t get 5* guys though, they will have established values.

    Maybe they do pony up moving forward after this class. But we definitely needed to build some depth in this class at key positions. And for what it may cost for McLain they could’ve used that to get 3 or 4 quality players

    I don’t disagree with you.. but I’d rather spread the wealth this class. Especially considering we’re not hurting at db. And we already have a solid db class

    Hopefully they do both. It does no good to pay a couple 5* guys if it costs us not getting the players we already have committed.

    Think Beamer continues his good recruiting by securing McLeod and probably Hardy today.

    According to Josh Furlong, Utah has been practicing in the door facility lately with the heat way up, the noise way up and different things to make it as humid as possible to somewhat acclimate to the Swamp.

    Indeed, to get to the next level, UF needs Percy Harvin, Tebow types on offense and a Joe Haden, Brandon Spikes type on defense.

    Maybe they'll take a wagon train from Utah to G'ville and just bypass the air conditioned plane.

    Why do some people here still think we can openly talk about pay-to-play like it's legal or something? Quit making these statements and interjecting our HBC as the "facilitator" of such illegal tactics.

    According to On3 director of recruiting Chad Simmons the Gators are making a move on the Alabama's duo James Smith and Qua Russaw. Also believes that the Gators are the leader for Tampa's 4* CB Dijon Johnson. In addition Simmons claims that the Gators are expanding reach in South Fla including WPB.
