The Bank (6/26)

[CaneLos]

This is shaping up to be a Manny-esque class.

It's f'n June, my guy. Calmate.

 

[Zanecane]

Amazing to see the discrepancy between how people read these banks.

Half the board sees these updates as sharing positive news. Class is shaping up well.
Half the board sees these updates as negative news. Mario is struggling to close on elite guys.

The insiders don't seem to be panicking but are definitely not acting as if we have solidified anything just yet...

This next month is going to be wild.

 

[Odysseus]

???

1 OL?

Of course we are going to end up with more than 1 OL

I'll take over 1.5 OL for my back teeth.

Minaya

And then 2-3 of

Ahfua
Plazz
Schmo
Madison
Baker
Broussard
Hilton
Andrews
2 Juco kids so far as possibilities

And who knows who else CMC/Mirabal gets us back in the race for (Seaton, McCroy)

I'm just saying worst fear is only having Jaun, but I would personally want at least 4 o-linemen, and they can't all be projects need at least one blue chip guy

 

[DMoney]

If we have a good season on the field that has people excited about the direction of the team, we will have a better class than last year.

If we have a season resembling last year, we will have a worse class.

Still plenty of names in play in the Top 100 and beyond.

Btw i said it before and say it again, u cant tout how much effort and resources u putting into DL recruiting and strike out. Sorry.

U must get 3 of the elite rated players, Scott, Stone, Stewart, Breland, Franklin and Simmons, thats 50%. Then fill the class with other borderline elite DL, Jones, McCray, Lightfoot etc. Thats what yall been building all spring, thats why there was free pool party for Mother's Day at Cristobal's house etc. For me to consider it success

I didnt set these expectations, thats what came out from people on ths board, even Wiltfong . We want the best DL class in the nation. JT could be recruiter of the year. Lets see it.

If u give me top 2 or 3 DL class within a top 10 overall class am good.

Another 3 star coming July 1st. Mario is locking in local targets and “projects” then he can focus 100% of recruiting energy on the big targets. Let’s see how it plays out

Isn't this exactly how we went about last years class? Lock up local kids who are underrated then go big game hunting? (genuinely asking, old memory..)

The one position group I have no concerns about is OL. They may not land elite OTs this class but I'd expect them to pull some high upside OT and elite iOL not to mention 1-2 high end portal kids.

Pretty much.

Pretty simple and balls-on accurate, but you'll still have people saying this will be a Manny class (being able to see past your clown nose enough to type something like that is very impressive, however).

Whats the word on how players looking, **** recruiting then.. Are we gonna light up the score board or they still confused with forward pass?

The mental gymnastics that many here do is always a sight to behold.

All the leather helmets fit this year. We should be good for at least 3-4 yards a play.

Pretty much but we been used to Manny late diamond in the rough recruiting and now they want $500 steak in June. Nature of the game.

Yep, honestly why I am not fretting too much. It is what it is, the ball is in our court.

I believe this also..but why is this only with UM..why do the gators have a better Qb and class right now, why is Drelon Miller going to 8&4…it just seems like a built in excuse..what’s a good season? 7 Wins? 11 wins?

Dam last year was soo bad we are already at that point.. Mario already dug himself in a hole quicker than others.. Wonder how contract is structured if things get ugly..

7 wins?! Lol, corches get fired for that, no one considers that a good season in cfb.. That only happens if you drop standards soooo low by getting blown out at home repeatedly to even the likes of mtsu.

bc we haven't even been remotely relevant while UF and even FSU had won big bowl games with prior coaches way more recently. also, UF is still in the SEC and has a brand. honestly, they recruit themselves and the fact that their class was what ti was is underwhelming and shows that Napier isnt close to a recruiter Mario or even Champ are/were.

Im not sure if i buy this statement D cash. What do u consider good season, double digit wins, 8/9 wins, 7 wins? Or is it just optics? With how our class started off i find it hard to see us having a better class. We were 1 Cormani away from #4.

Im not asking for much except give me an elite DL class within a top 10 class.

Btw does that mean all our targets are gonna wait for the season to unfold?
