Some Names to Watch O-Side

thanks, candy. Good info. (Though I didn’t see Chance Robinson decommit maybe I missed it).

 

Candy, do you think Simmons is seriously looking around or enjoying some visits?

 

Liam, Calloway and Westphal plus... who else would you like to land? Damn... I want them all.

 

Gold! Thanks Candy Man!

 

Just a guess but something tells me the Ole Miss visit may be related to the reclassification issue. Maybe the parents are the ones wanting him in school now and UF is preferring he wait until next year or the other way around. I just don't believe both sides are on the same page regarding this issue. This visit may be their leverage to try to get what they want.

 

I’m not certain we lead for any of the OL mentioned above. Been adding a few 3 star OL offers and visits recently. We are top 2 for a few but no OL recruit has stated we are a clear leader yet. Hoping Marcus makes it out of LSU visit this weekend without committing, as due to visit us following weekend. Hope we hit it on some top OL commits this cycle.

 

Agree IGWT - We were able to get Cade late in the cycle last year and wound up with 4 OL but missed on the higher rated prospects.

I'm still a bit at a loss as to understading "WHY" UF is struggling at this position. Not one but TWO Offensive line coaches with NFL contacts?

An offense that empahsises the "RUN". Stud running backs and yet, O Line recruiting has been a bit of a disappointment.

Hopefully summer changes that.

 

Drop bags big enough to make a difference. All things being equal, there’s a few teams we may need to overbid against.

 

While
I understand the ‘bags’ sentiment, I am about convinced that we are all
Pulling for a program
Whose admin is simply NOT going to
Go ‘all in’ on the outbidding the bidders strategy. We may face the prospects of ‘adjusting’ our realistic expectations of
The program.

 

The UF admin isn’t doing any bidding.

 

That is probably true and we may have to be content with top 10 hopes.

 

Can’t do well in an auction like tgat. Top bidders will take the prizes.

 

Hope the admins stay in their lane.

 

I think that has been apparent for a number of years now that the institution as a whole had no stomach for playing the sleaze game. Now with NIL legal, it will be interesting to see if it will change course....stay tuned I guess.

 

Possibly not. However, if not, then they are doing it wrong.

 

Someone tell me again HOW the (close) works?

How in the hell does CBN "CLOSE" on a prospect?

Coaches are not allowed to discuss "dollars" ---- is this correct?

So hows it work? CBN calls a prospect and his handlers (or parents) into his office and gives them a scholarship offer.

THEN WHAT???? If he (CBN) can't discuss MONEY what does he do? Are the NIL folks in another room down the hall to discuss dollars and he sends them there? Or does Billy hand them a note with a phone number? LOL

Exactly how does it work if Florida Victorious makes an offer and the kid counters a little higher than what they want to pay?

In this scenerio are we to believe that CBN and Victorious aren't on the line discussing the situation? Or is it exclusively up to Victorious to "Do The Deal"? (YEAH RIGHT!)

“Can a University employee or coach help arrange a deal for an athlete?

No. University employees, including coaches and members of the athletics department, CANNOT negotiate deals or contracts. However, they can direct student athletes to NIL related opportunities on the GatorsNIL”
