  1. Jeff, if I’m Diggs & Agholor, I’m licking my chops at the prospect of coming to UF because this year’s receivers have shown NOTHING in the way of being able to compete at a high level. Combine that with the fact that Demps & Rainey will be gone next year, this Weis offense is BEGGING for instant playmakers. Does this help us in their recruitment? Or does it hurt because they may believe we can’t coach WR’s?

  2. 3 names I expected to see. Stefon Diggs, Matt Jones, and JJ Green.
    Also, is it safe to assume that “not sure” or “maybe” is pretty much “no”? These are probably all issues with rides. The direction the NCAA is headed is gonna have these kids traveling alone in their own vehicle soon.

  4. Just read an interesting article on Trent Richardson and how things would be different had he followed his mentor and fellow Escambia alum Emmitt Smith to Florida. It got me thinking. Which recent recruit, that we lost out on, could we use the most? Sammy Watkins would be my pick the way he’s been tearing it for Clemson and since he’s a position of need for our current team. What are your thoughts?

  10. It’s gotta be fun for the prospects to come and see a HUGE game like this. Good Job, Mr. Barlis!!! I can’t wait to find out what impact this weekend has on our potential recruits! Now call your Mother!

  12. Gatorbait and GatorsEverywhere,
    I will go away for now, but I will be back on October 9, 2011 and I will point out how we both have 2 losses and we are still BOTH good football teams, were just a year or two away!

  14. Given that fsu was ranked #5 at the start of the season, it just goes to show how snowed the ratings contributors are over jumbo fisher and his recruiting. As we all know, “it ain’t who you get, it is how you coach ’em up.” And, jumbo is not half the coach he is as a recruiter.
