    I think it's a dream. I honestly Think he is torn on where he wants to go. There are rumors that the reports are false about him going to maryland. With all that said I still say Maryland lol. I think it's down to Maryland and Florida tho

    Man, if he is even close to as talented as his dad... That would be AWESOME! Taylor is still probably my favorite Gator of all time.

    He's a good player but gets overrated by a lot of people because of his dad and his stats.

    Update: Stefon Diggs set to announce decision at 6 p.m. ET

    Stefon Diggs, a five-star receiver prospect from Olney, Md., has rescheduled his announcement and set a firm time to announce today’s decision.

    Diggs, rated the nation’s second-best receiver behind Missouri signee Dorial Green-Beckham, plans to announce his college decision at 6 p.m. ET at Looney’s Pub in College Park, Md, according to Jacob Engelke of InsideMdSports.com.

    Four teams remain on the radar for Diggs: Auburn, Florida, Maryland and Ohio State. The Washington Post reported Thursday that Diggs was poised to pick Maryland, citing a source close to Diggs’ decision-making process, but Diggs tweeted Friday morning that he had not come to a final decision yet.

    “Contrary to what you hear I have not made a decision. A lot of people going be mad at me . But oh well gotta make the best decision for me,” Diggs tweeted.

    The Gators have a new offensive line coach..... Tim Davis. Most of you might know the name from working as the oline coach with the Dolphins with Saban. He has been a part of 2 national title teams and has a good track record. Muschamp spoke highly of him too.

    Frank Verducci left but it only says for other interests.

    Muschamp has recruited quite a few coaches from his Dolphin stint days.The Gators even hired George Edwards now with the Dolphins for a short while.

    Regarding recruiting only the ones that declared late got away .I think Muschamp has difficulty in lying to the kids as much as Meyer and other coaches like kiffin do .

    I understand Muschamp will try to get his top recruits early from now on.

    Its still in the top 3-5 recruiting class in the country .Nothing to complain about IMO.

    That may be. While the class is still a top 5 class, still has to be a little upsetting we missed out on our top two WR targets. Esp since that was such a position of NEED!!!!

    On a side note, Maryland's QB is transferring now. Wonder if he still likes his decision to go there?

    Maryland's QB was transferring before he committed. Besides his Loi is already in.

    With the way our offense played last year and how badly our WR's were I don't really blame them for not coming. If I was a WR prospect (that had no fav team) I would not have gone to Florida. One of Florida's young QB's has to step up. I personally think it will be Brissett.


    I think Florida will sign at least 4 WR's this year. We might see one or two commit after this weekend

    Crunch for the most part he is getting coaches that he has worked with. That makes since cause he knows how hard they work and how good they are.

    This is no doubt a great class and we improved on the two places we needed to the most. Offensive line and defensive line were the weakest spots on the team last year and it showed. We got pushed around by a lot of teams. This class could have been much better but I don't think it was a lack of Muschamp closing. Just a ton of bad luck.

    ok, but if qb was our issue and obrien(think that is his name) was transferring before... then wouldn't that be a bigger issue for them?

    I wasn't mentioning QB being an issue as to why Diggs didn't commit. I was just saying I am sure it didn't sit well with a lot of WR prospects.

    Stefon Diggs wanted to stay home plain and simple. There is nothing you can do about Location

    This may sound like rationalization but we did recruit the top two TEs an the country and they are receivers too .The pro set offense will utilize the TEs more often.

    Last year TE was not the problem tho. I thought we got decent play from them other than blocking

    Unless we go to a multiple TE offense as our base offense. Sort of like Stanford does. LOL

    4 more recruits have pledged to be Gators. The positions are S/CB, LB, WR, and RB (Taylor). All of them are at least 4 stars.

    Florida is really on fire at this point.

    Players just got their gator bowl rings today, and I got to see them. They are really really nice. They look like national championship rings. Also did you guys know that the players didn't get rings for the Sugar Bowl?

    What are the odds that Beal decides to stay another year? I would love to see what he could do for a full year, now that he seemed to find is aggression.

    LOVE reading the comments on there. OSU fans are blind to it, just as we all were. People were all stating to us how bad of a person Meyer is. I know I did not want to believe it. However, the more that comes out... the more it sure seems to be that way.

    Urban Meyer is a world class *******. He bailed on a sinking ship, and will do the exact same thing once tOSU goes to **** after he gets exposed by Hoke and Michigan yearly.

    He'll be alright until all of Tressell's players leave. Just like was alright until all of Zook's players left.

    Where there is smoke there is usually fire. That being said, still have to give the man the benefit of the doubt. Just bc he is not on our team, does not mean he is instantly guilty. I think we'll all know the real truth in about 4-5 years. Once he has a full turn over at OSU. We will start to find out how much of this stuff is true, by if it is repeated there. THAT or if one of his former players that was in the "circle of trust" (Where are you Timmy?) comes out and admits this is how it was. NOT sure that will ever happen, because why would they?

    Not 100% true. The 06 championship was Zook's players, but the 08 one was his.

    They were find until Tebow, Hernandez and Harvin left. All those guys were Urb guys. The Defense has been decent for years. The offense has been absolute **** without a good QB and Brantley under Center.

    A good read if you have not already seen it...

    Really puts into context how bad our offense was last year. We were 8th in the Nation in total defense, yet still barely made it to .500 (over with the Bowl win).

    And that with a lot of freshmen starting and key players playing out pf position.....referring to Floyd and Easley in particular .
    Defense in Champs specialty so you know the defense will get better and we wont be embarrased against the top SEC teams.
