    I'll give "dot.com" a jingle and see if he can do a query, that will raise Caden to a 5 star at least..... lol

    I'm with you on on both. I'm worried Smith is more Bama and Qua more UF.

    I wonder if that "package deal" is still in play?

    I would so love to see CBN ruin "dinner with Nick" ...... :devil:

    I predict we end up with Okunlola, Russaw and Hall. I think ricks is 50/50. Gator fans still have PSD from the past regime but this is a whole new ballgame and level of recruiting. Billy ain’t playin’.

    who follows who on Twitter is NOT an indicator on what kid will go where but he's already now following big time 2024 kids. He's not playing around:

    I'm thinking Okunlola, Walker and Ricks. Would be great to have Qua but we're looking very good for edge defenders in the '24 class (Rushing and Hayes.) Hopefully we get one from the portal.

    I’m still going to say 8-11. I think we forget that other schools will get there guys too. I believe Samson and Qua are 50/50. Ricks is more a lean to LSU from what I’ve seen. If we can get just one 5⭐️ then you are looking at a 6-8. It will be interesting to say the least. Go Gators

    I don't think 8 is too much to ask. And a couple more not on that list.

    Hope a top portal LB or 2 decide to come this year. I mean I don't think we have a choice but to take one or two but hopefully not just bodies.

    Yeah but this is where the skeptic in me takes over. I just don't see russaw or Smith happening. Hall for that matter. We just seem to lose out on much needed defenders to the competition when it's Georgia, Bama lsu etc.

    FTR I know we have won some battles like elam, James and Wilson but they are few and far apart. I do expect that to change with this staff going forward though

    No argument but it seems like CBN and staff seem to be penetrating deeper into
    the process with higher valued recruits.

    I think we finish with one 5 star and 3 - 4 more four stars before ESD. At least that's my hope.

    Surprised Damon Wilson not even being considered. Same with Keeley. DL is a position of need at flagship instate school and we are not even a hat on the table. What’s the story here?
