Hmmm...

The only obvious concern is the lack of LB in this class. I’m with you though, this just goes to show that UF is plenty strong. The talent has always been there, even during the Zook Error…

One of the ends could be a linebacker. I know people were freaking out about Powell, but he’d freak out more people coming off the edge as 3-4 linebacker.

Powell is unbelieveable

Yea your right

He could fit right into OLB, DE, hes gonna need to pack on some pounds. I am sure that will happen, because they always do. But OLB would be pretty scary.

lb yes, but

also o-line
are we so stacked we need only 1 of 24 players tobe an o-line?

I may be in a rut, but at least I know where I'm going

Got plenty of O-Linemen last year.......

I believe we signed 5. Rivals said that it was the best O-Line class to sign last year. We have averaged getting about 3 Linebackers every class since Urban has been here. Brought in three blue chippers last season and 2 enrolled early and made a heck of an impact in the spring but were hampered by injuries all season. If by chance we are able to get this 5* offensive tackle Henderson and Jordan Hicks this class might would be considered the greatest haul of all time if it isn’t already. Where are all the fsu and ut trolls tonight? It must be a little too cold for them to be out and about tonight. The cool didn’t bother em when they thought that they had stolen Elam away. Oh well, congrats to the Gator Nation and God Bless.

Henderson is ranked as Rival's #1 player in the country

He would be a nice fit in this class – wouldn’t he?!?!

Do we really only have 1 scholly left? We are still listed on a bunch of guys’ lists. Does that take into account probable Pouncey departures?!

by skigator93 on Jan 10, 2010 10:24 PM EST up reply actions  

Actually i found out we coulds get up to 28

Oh yeah, one more thing.....

I just checked and this UF recruiting class is #1 on Rivals, Scout, and ESPN. This is probably the first time that all 3 sites have ever agreed on the same #1 class!!!

AWESOME!

I am glad to see I am not the only excited one, I was so siked when I watched the Army All American game. Man this is going to be a long off season.
