'25 GA S Lagonza Hayward (Florida)

[PYSCHO]

Gotta build it through HS recruiting.

The catch is premadonnas thinking they should play now sit a yr or 2 transfer out. You can not afford that or players saying play me now or else.

Recruiting should be better than this…

Huge blow to the class. But idk… with the portal and all I just can’t get too bent out of shape.

No disrespect to the player but S isn’t a premium position so it doesn’t hurt as much had an elite lineman or someone decommitted.

Safety is a very important position, just like all positions on a football team. That is why it’s called a team. One of the reasons we lost to Georgia was because they were to isolated their receivers on our safeties who were unable to cover them on deep routes. They scored two of their second half TDs on those plays.

His loss we will be fine, we killed it in the portal last year what ever needs we need this year we will do it again

our cupboard isn’t completely bare.

Still time for Jon Slaughter to step up.(3 years)
We still have Jordan Thomas (2 years)
Jacobe Thomas (1 more year)
Turrentine ( 1 more year)
Charles ( 1 more year?)
….

I’m stoked for Redmond moving to safety but we really don’t know if that will fit. It should.
Walton I’m not sold on.
Two safety projects for 2025.
Man.

I think we’re good for 2025 season but we need to hit bigtime in 2026. Transfer or HS

 

[Vol423]

Lol. Have you seen their recruiting???? They will have a class virtually identical to ours with this flip. They have tons of momentum.

Expound please…Our recruiting should be better?

Bc he needs the emotional boost in his life so he can feel better

Pretty self explanatory. Yes it should be better than this.

 

[FBtime]

Yeah I’m wondering how much better he expects.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yeah I’m wondering how much better he expects.

top 5-7 every year

 

[FBtime]

Pretty self explanatory. Yes it should be better than this.

Better than top 10? I bet you’re a real treat in gameday threads.

This. UT cannot stay in the top 10-15 in recruiting when UGA, Bama, Texas, LSU, and even AU are staying in the top 5-7. Playing catch up with the Jimmies and Joes.

 

[VolNash17]

WTF… Florida a dumpster fire for half a decade flipping guys from everyone. Auburn as well. Ridiculous

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

Does anyone remember when he took visits elsewhere? Every place was the latest greatest.UF,UGA,SC. Never know where his head is or if he’s just creating signing day hype.

 

[AstonRoyal]

Better than top 10? I bet you’re a real treat in gameday threads.

Pretty sure top ten in the nation is barely top half in the SEC haha. Still yet to be seen if Heupel’s coaching can make up the difference, given that we haven’t vested Georgia yet.. but we have beaten bama so that does help his case

 

[bornbleddinorange]

screw this guy

 

[Vol423]

So he's elite without playing a down yet? If you say so.

Haven't you heard? All recruits that sign elsewhere automatically achieve VN elite, legendary status.

Selling the dream of “immediate playing time”

Remember when that’s all we had to sell? Now we can sell guaranteed double digit win season, top NFL draft picks, and playoff appearances.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

screw this guy

Relax. He’s 17. Maybe touch grass or something.

We aren’t going to be playing Georgia every year anymore after next year anyway.
