There you go again, putting words in my mouth. I never said that YOU said he's a "mortal lock to UF".

I'm going easy on you because I know you're still dealing with the heartbreak of beliving in AR-15. But you are slso overreacting to a good-natured jibe about whether the Gaytors have a shot at Hamilton, so chill the F out.

I'm not a "there's good people on both sides" kind of a guy. The QB issues at UiF and UM are not the same. The OL issues at UiF and UM are not the same. I'm not going to lie and say otherwise in the pursuit of a happy Kumbaya moment.

As for Kobe Prentice, don't come in here and try to sell me ****e by telling me it is shinola. Allow me to disprove your nonsense with analogizing Prentice to Hamilton.

Prentice is a kid from "right down the road" from Tuscaloosa, just as Hamilton is close to Hogtown. The comparison ends there (for now). Sure, Prentice was ranked 1163 in the composite at the beginning of July 2021. Then he was bumped to 840 a week later (PRE-COMMIT), surely because one rating service did an update. The real "Alabama bump" came two weeks later (when he committed), as he went to 555 in the composite.

And the story would end right there if he was truly a "diamond in the rough" who only benefited from an upgrade due to Alabama's acceptance of his verbal. But, noooo...at the end of October, he juped to 227. By December, he was at 147. And between mid-January and early-February, his composite was in the 70s. THESE rankings increases would seem to be due to his on-field play, not his JULY 2021 VERBAL.

Now, compare Jaren Hamilton. As I mentioned, he is a 3-star on both Rivals and 247. And maybe he will go up. But we don't have anything to compare at this point.

Which is EXACTLY why I asked you the question. Because if you would put aside your emotional outbursts for a minute, I specifically asked you why this kid was "waiting on an offer" from Florida (though 2 recruiting services say he DOES have an offer).

The simple fact is that the kid has played well for six games. I don't have his stats for the Sarasota Riverview game or the Gainesville High game (???), but he had a great game against Oakleaf, and has caught 2 or 3 passes per game in his other conference games.

The point I was making is that Alabama ACCEPTED Prentice's commit in the summertime. Before the season. And if they felt the same way about Hamilton, they would have done the same. Now, sure, MAYBE Hamilton will have a great senior season (which is what I asked you about), but as I said, Alabama isn't big into taking "great senior season" guys, they usually have their targets set by the summertime. That's not a slight. Hamilton may yet be the best WR we've ever seen.

But then it begs the question...if he is so good...and he is in the Gaytors' backyard...and if he has (admittedly) had a good first half of his senior season...WHAT IN THE FVCK ARE THE GAYTORS WAITING FOR? This is reminiscent of the (too) many situations where former Miami coaches were late in recognizing local Miami WR talent.

So stop sniffling and stuff your emotions in your pocket. Hamilton is, indeed, an interesting prospect with some potential intangibles (he's also a good returner). If it's TRUE that the Gaytors have not yet offered, the coaching staff should have their heads examined. And if the kid is waiting for Alabama to make a committable offer...it might not happen (and not because he isn't good)...which would SEEMINGLY leave the Gaytors in the driver's seat if (a) they had offered earlier and (b) weren't so intent on ****ing off the Buchholz coaching staff.

Just some harmless observations. Not a personal attack on you, though you took it as such.

Relax, man.

It's all love, man. I got fam who are Gaytor fans, I got fam who are SemenHole fans, sometimes I go too hard.

But you know I respect you, even though I've had nearly 50 years of living with Gaytor-fan nonsense in Orlando.

True story, I get soooooo much love and compliments from people around ATL when I wear my UM gear. I was gassing up at QT on Monday (on my way to mail some income tax returns), and a guy started a conversation (at the pump) where he was talking about the upcoming UM-GaTech game. Good times!

Yes. I absolutely agree. The point I was making was more in response to suggesting that a guy who can’t even start for the gates would clearly be a starter for us. Neither offensive line is any good, but I just hate the gator

I thought he was good prior to UiF, but whenever someone hasn't been playing, it can't be guaranteed that he'd be a shoo-in to start. That said, we ******* suck.

Lol @TheOriginalCane well there goes that…i can put the UF and Jaren Hamilton talk to bed….

"That was my dream school because I'm from the city of Gainesville," said Hamilton, who has attended every Florida home game this season.

"Now, it's no longer an option for me.

I'm still a fan of the Gators because I grew up watching them. Being in the city, that's all you see, that's all you hear. My whole family is full of Gator fans."

If Florida jumped back into the picture, would Hamilton give the school some consideration?

"No, sir," Hamilton told Bama Insider.

Fair enough, but I also don't think he ends up at Bama. I could be wrong.

Miami needs to recruit him, just to **** off The Gaytor.
