And congrats to QB Tommy Devito from Don Bosco here in NJ for signing with Syracuse. Have been to many camps with Tommy since he was in 7th grade. Good kid and he has a chance to play early at Syracuse. With the way Dungey puts himself at risk half a dozen times a game, DeVito will see action this year. No red shirt for him. Dungey is a pretty talented QB but I think he's a concussion or 3 away from not playing again. _ I know the Cuse staff has been on Tommy about putting weight on. He's around 185 right now and they want him to be around 195 by the start of camp this summer. I think they would love to be able to redshirt Tommy this year but given Dungey's injury history, that only leaves Mahoney as the only other viable QB on the roster. Would love to see him play though, he could be a good one. |

I dont think that's necessarily the truth. I assume you're taking this position because Clemson only had, what, 15 spots or something like that and fell around 15th? The Gators having 24...only 3 teams in 24/7 sports top 10 had less. I think it's because they landed 11 4 stars with a couple of those guys being pubic hair close to 5 stars (Williams and Slaton). That said, you cant compete in the SEC and think you actually have a chance vs. Bama in Atlanta if you cant find 5 star players. Coach Mac saved his ass because the backlash Gainesville if we ended up in the 20's might have been too much for him to handle. At one point he was behind Kentucky who hasnt beaten Florida since 1987 and Tenn who the Gators are 14-1 vs. in the last 15 years. lol. The issue is, FSU is killing it. And nobody recruits South Florida better the Mark Richt. The Gators need look very hard at their facilities. They're outdated and these kids going on visits are seeing FSU and Miami then comparing it to Florida and are probably laughing. It's outdated and you cant sell National Championships anymore. The icing on the cake would be if we could land your boy, Jake Fruhmorgen. Rumor is he's considering it after leaving Clemson. We need OL help big time. Sounds like Jake is deciding between Michigan and Florida. There are quiet rumors that he was or is dealing with a pain meds issue after his shoulder injury this year. Not sure what his state of mind or body is in now. Regardless, he'll have to sit in 2017. Correct about out competing with Bama and the rest of the SEC. Right now Saban doesn't even have to leave his office to sign a #1 recruiting class anymore. Im kinda surprised that McElwain hasn't been able to bring in some better QB prospects. Really, UF is a legit QB away from competing for an SEC title. The rest of the roster can hang with anyone, lackluster and even poor QB play has killed them. Like you said Trask is probably their best option, Franks' issues are between his ears IMO. He looks the part, has some tools but it's not translating on the field. The problem with the college game is that you don't have time to "develop" a kid anymore. What Saban is doing at Bama is crazy. It's literally unreal. Besides all the 5 stars, in state/out of state...he's signing guys who know they're going to be competing for a job when they would be guaranteed to start at a phenomenal program elsewhere. It's wild, especially considering that its rare for players to stay all 4 years. I'm shocked that Coach Mac hasnt found a QB yet. Literally shocked. It's what he's supposed to do well and why Gator fans were so excited about the hire. The one guy he had in the building for a minute who looked like he could play, Grier, was a Muschump recruit. That said, I think they're going to find one between Franks, Trask and Allen. Someone has to rise to the occasion....they've all got some talent and should fit his system well. |
