Moten to UF

[Larry]

I'm not too worried about Moten in particular but obviously our DT recruiting is just baffling. Moten is good but we can do better but **** if I'm going to sit here and pretend to be confident we will.

Clark just went to the top of our recruiting board with Sony, if he wasn't already there.

Moten, at this point, projects as a DT or a power end. Both positions are big need positions. The kid is good enough. Plays at a feeder school. He should've been a top priority.

I mean folks keep saying "we can do better" or "its early, we can get someone else!"...at this point, how could someone say that?

Oh well.. who cares really. Onto bigger and better fish... besides didn't that gator on here say Florida didn't really want him.. lol

I said I would not take him right now. That was before Dontavious Russell picked UGA yesterday I wonder if that is a coincidence that Russell who was higher on the board goes to UGA then Moten commits to Florida the next day.

He had a tweet that said he knew where he wanted to go about a week ago. JMO but I think the Gators staff thinks better of him than you do

Despite what you think, kids dont care about the scheme that much. How well the coaches recruit the kid, how good the team is right now, and charactertics of the university are far more important

I'm setting up a PayPal account. We need DT's. I'm about to pay these ****** myself.

Is it a violation if we're in no way affiliated with the university other than some random *** fans?

I don't think so.

But **** it, I'm just gonna adopt Clark.

He only lives with his mom only....you know what to do

The SEC gets 3 out of 4 DTs. Its crazy.

I was very 'meh' on Moten from the get go. A very overrated DT prospect that is a run stuffer...not really a guy that will get pressure on the QB consistenly and make tackles in the backfield.

We don't need run stuffers?

Our problem is pass rushing.

You're right. That 114th ranked rush defense last year was just a mirage. We were really a lot better than that.

I know I would have the opposite reaction if he committed, but I just can't get too worked up about it in April.

I have faith that Golden knows he can't strike out on DTs again.

Maybe that's delusional. But I trust Golden to find four good ones by next February.

What ever happens I just don't want any scrubs

Our problem is defense in general

This hurt because, as stated, he's local, he's a solid prospect, we're thin at the position and he's got some scheme versatility. is he a sure fire 5 star? No. Is that the only type of prospect we need? No. The only real silver lining here is that it's April so we have plenty of time to find other prospects and put in a lot of work. ****, we still have a chance to blow up with on field play. I like to think a lot of quality prospects blow up late because they're growing into their big a$$ bodies. Let's see this play out

...For now...


See you September 8th Anthony!

Hope not at the stadium cause you two will be the only ones there outside of cleaning crew.

I don't think recruits look at or even know the scheme we play. But rather other coaches point out that our scheme is not suited for them.

Ideally, we can counter by pointing flaws in someone else's scheme but we can't negative recruit with this NCAA crap over our heads

 

[arizonacane]

Golden needs to get on the next plane to Samoa an grab some recruits.

Great post, please post more.

Sorry but I am not buying that kids dont care about scheme. How many times have we heard kids say, "I want to play in a pro-style offense., etc"...Why you think we always clown UF because they cant recruit any big time WRs? Or we clown FSU because they TEs aint never been ****? Kids look at that stuff. Kids want to be Nkodomong Suh (sp?) nowadays not Vince Wilfork. Whens the last time you heard a kid say that Casey Hampton was there favorite DT? Khari Clark is an exception. He was born to be in the defense. But guys like Keith Bryant would not like it.

I dont want to say losing Moten doesnt hurt cuz it does. ESPECIALLY losing him to FLA. I guess now we see why we have been offering all these DTs out of the woodworks. Im thinking the staff knew about Moten for some time now.

people can you please stop acting like the big cloud (sanction) are not hanging over us just because we feel like its over don’t mean recruits feel the same and when they take visits to places like Alabama, Florida, FL state, or lsu and see those bowl games they went to they don’t think "hey i can play for Miami and just play the regular season" it’s not that its guaranteed it’s the fact that we don’t know and they don’t either so some don’t take the chance especially JUCO they only have 2 years and they need bowl games for the NFL

I feel ya man. My mind is officially bottled on the subject.

Kids say that but do not follow through.

Ex 1: O'Leary the fumbling te at fsu he wanted to play in pro style offense right?

What I was implying was that we hopefully hear some renewed interest after we take it to the Gators the previous night. Trust me, September 7th is circled, underlined, and highlighted on my calender.

...We need a DT with a receding hairline, 6 kids, and skretch marks. Get me a DE that's done time and can legally rent a car.
