2025 Ben Hanks Jr 4* CB from Booker T Commits to the Gator

I get the thought process but how many times do we actually see that play out? Cooper is a good example. Njuko is a perfect example. Who else from your perspective was raw with great tools that we turned into a great player?

We haven’t turned many players great so it would have to be an adjusted term lol

With how dire the situation at CB is, if we somehow come out of this recruiting season with no Hanks or Pickett, we better be ready to overpay a hefty amount in the portal to bring in a stud.

We will be screwed going forward tho relying on unknowns.

Berrios, X, Warlord, Thriller, Kam. ... There've been several over the years, though most were quality college players as opposed to long-term NFL types. But to your point, there are a lot more heralded recruits that have been difference makers.

Will be a big time miss. UF has corners who will be playing next year who are also very young. We have one side with OJ but other than that nobody has proven a thing. We need elite corners at some point in this program.

Who do you feel other than Reuben came in from day 1 ready to play at a high level is the more accurate question? All these people saying because they assume DJ isn't coming, that Hanks is so much better of a prospect. I just can't see how anyone can immediately make that assumption simply from a tools perspective. As of right this moment Hanks has a better game. But to assume the 6-4 #1 corner in the nation who flies up and down the field and is fluid in his movements isn't an amazing prospect (who knows how it actually plays out for either of them)is just wild.
