    UF loses Tae Williams to Miami and then Jahmyr Gibbs to GT LOL.

    Tae Williams is the #1 safety in the country and Gibbs is a 4* RB with elite speed. They are calling for Knox and English both to be fired.

    Yea, that one is surprising. Not sure what the draw to Indiana would be over us. Kind of hurts to lose both Spencer and Benson. We needed one or the other. This is pretty weak OL class for us. Nice to get Lashley but that is only a one year addition.

    Mullen has done a good job with transfers, but his HS recruiting is not up to UF standards.

    This is a big season for Mullen. I think he has his window to win the East. Be interesting if he can take the next step

    That stings a little. We will have to hit the juco market on the OL next year.

    It could be worse - we could be the bearsharks - they may only sign 15. Looks like the NCAA hammer is actually falling a few years later than expected. Talk about a brutal finish.

    Well their disaster of a year should not be our measuring stick. Biggest sting was that we could have definitely signed Spencer and maybe even Benson in the early period and JoMo failed to do so. Sucks that we couldn't get either during this period with the momentum we have with Leach. Missouri and Indiana should not be programs we are losing nearby players to. Spencer was likely going to follow MJohnson whereever he went given an offer but I don't know what in the heck Benson's draw to Indiana was. Going up north to play football at a B10 basketball school?

    I wouldn't be surprised if we get Spencer from the transfer portal because I doubt Marcus Johnson is going to be there for five years.

    Looks like Tennessee had a good day. They're #10 in recruiting, and this doesn't include getting a 5-star oline transfer from Georgia who started there

    I'll give Pruitt credit. He seems to have pulled them out of a near disastrous situation at least for now. They were headed for a complete train wreck there for awhile

    I trust the staff though so I'm not really worrying about much else happening today at all. Hail yeah if it does though.
    Attrition only helps with the 85, not the 25. The 3 spots is based on spots left in the 25 I think.

    Strangest Mississippi signing I can ever remember
    How does A&M, a school with a shit ton of money and crazy boosters, walk into Mississippi with a bag of cash?

    I don't get how you are perplexed by this. A&M is not Bama or LSU, but they can still hand out bags of cash and get the full protection of the SEC. I don't think it'd be any different if they walked in and got the #1 recruit from Louisiana or Bama. Except that they'd probably have to over pay significantly to do it.

    Typically those teams that hang around the 7-12 mark in recruiting are taking HIGH risk 4 & 5 stars.

    That leads to volatile teams & cultures. It's why Auburn has always been a roller coaster. Teams that recruit in the top 5 usually get character & intelligence with their 4/5 star ranking

    Just saw on the news that Detraveon Brown (WR from Shreveport) signed with Ole Miss but didn't actually receive a LOI from them. WTF??

    Well obviously IU waltzed into MS with a bag of cash and bought him! Why else would an 18 yo leave. Get detective Shotgun Dog on the case, stat!***

    ETA... and who give a flying 17 about UT recruiting except Mr. Post-a-Lot??
