Recruiting 2004

[Grok]

Hey, we both got QB's  

Who?  Xavier Lee is also, and committed to us.  You got the other two?  Nice.

Anyone have the Gators list?  I'm curious.

[DarkMinion]

No, I meant we both have one QB committed apiece.  Except ours is already signed

Awesome.  How are you doing for receivers and offensive linemen?  Gotta have someone to catch, and to protect QB or he'll be seeing after every play

[DarkMinion]

Our offensive line only loses 1 starter, and we have a few guys coming in, we're fine there...

WR is easily our deepest position, even though we lost 3 senior starters.

Next year probably starters at WR:

H (outside receiver):  Nehemiah Glover (SR 5'9" 168 - Not highly recruited out of La Marque, TX - Lightning fast player, reminds me alot of Roscoe Parrish), Jarrett Hicks (SO 6'4" 205 - Again, not a highly recruited player out of Houston, TX, played in an option offense in HS and got no pub as a result, has really stepped up for us)

X (inside receiver):  Thomas Bachman (RS SO 5'11" 190 - Highly recruited WR out of Evangel Christian Academy, LA), Joel Filani (SO 6'3" 220 - Highly recruited WR from AZ)

Y (outside receiver):  Marquis Johnson (JR 6'3" 210 - WR coming in from JUCO in KS), Cody Fuller (JR 6'0" 190)

Z (inside receiver/TE):  David Weems (RS FR 6'4" 230 - Highly recruited player out of Conroe, TX, top 10 TE in the country last year, really impressed the coaches before this year, but they decided to redshirt him, I fully expect to see him starting as a RS FR), Gabe Hall (RS SO 6'5" 250 - Was placed on a medical redshirt this year, should be a contributor), Bristol Olomua (SO TR 6'5" 230 - Transfer from BYU, nephew of our OL coach) - This position is technically referred to as the tight end, but it's not a true tight end, as they are usually split off from the line

Incoming WR:

Anthony Jenkins - (6'0" 185) Ennis, TX
Marquis Johnson - (6'3" 210) JUCO
Darcel McBath - (6'2" 180) Gainesville, TX - will probably be a DB though
Danny Amendola - (5'11" 185) The Woodlands, TX
And a couple of odd recruits as well...

Well we got Rodney Gallon (#8 Rivals LB) committed to FSU.

Lost Calvin Darity (#1 Rivals OL) who committed to North Carolina.  Makes sense, Darity has a 3.89 GPA and 1100 SAT.  Guy that smart should go to UNC.  Their campus is very pretty too and supports studying.

Willie Williams talks about his visit with the Gators:

Asked his highlight of the visit, he said, "I'd have to say it was probably the hotel breakfast – every night we ate fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and stuff like that. The breakfast had more variety. That was the highlight, so that can pretty much tell you what I thought of the visit."

It looks like he's probably a Hurricane.

Add two more 4-stars to FSU list.  We now have 25 commits/LOI averaging 3.6 stars.  Kick ass.  Still holding breath for Brandon Miller, DeMario Pressley, and Willie Williams.

[DarkMinion]

14 LOI's signed so far.  3 , 3 , 8

NICE!  We're doing excellent too.  I updated our commits list just now.

FSUCommits updated again.  Almost everyone signed.  Lost Grimes to Michigan State.  Willie Williams to Miami as expected, Marcus Walker to Oklahoma, Lambert to Notre Dame.

A 1110 SAT is high?

[Grok]

A 1110 SAT is high?

I wouldn't think so.  But a 3.89 GPA is higher than average for even non-football players.

How's Florida doing today?  I haven't seen a list, but I read you got some good ones.

[Grok]

HAHA ... No sooner than Willie Williams signs with Miami, and his trouble with the law is announced.
