Wonder how much Florida had to pay him? My understanding is his compensation package from Ruiz was going to be quite generous. Some speculated more than what we're giving Nico.Not good. That kid is a baller. Still can’t believe Florida is out recruiting us. Florida can get Rashada but we can’t get back in it with Francis. Frustrating
Cool thing is we are adding a 5 star DL on the 25th to go along with our 5 star qbIf money is filling the Spyre coffers, it's up to them to figure out how to spread it around. I kind of wonder if Florida is funneling their NIL straight to football while we spread it across more sports, like basketball and football?
But, that said, I still like our class. They may not be 5*'s but I think there is plenty of talent there just waiting to be coached up. I mean, yes, I'd love to add a 5* OL, and a 5* DL, and definitely a 5* RB, but I really like the kids that currently make up this class. A few more beasts would be nice, but I'm not sure how we get them here in THIS class. But with what this staff has done this season, don't underestimate how they can get the best out of what they have.
…. IDK if I can handle another Georgia, Bama type of recruiting dominance of a team. Might get lucky and beat one of them once every 4-5 years when we have a super senior team or something.
I think that’s what Pate was saying… He believes Heupel will make the moves both on staff and asking White for more recruiting department support. I don’t think people understand how big of a recruiting operation Bama and Georgia has. Now Florida does as well. We’ve got to get into the game or we’ll be flattened and stuckI don’t understand it. UF is a dumpster fire yet they are smoking us in recruiting with a brand new coaching staff. We need some better recruiters on this staff.
Or we might just outcoach them. Bama's recruiting hasn't waned, and we beat them this year. Florida arguably has a more talented team, but we beat them. Losing to Georgia wasn't simply about being out talented. They schemed that game better than we did, and they were absolutely more prepared than we were. I don't think that happens twice. Heupel has shown what good coaching can do.…. IDK if I can handle another Georgia, Bama type of recruiting dominance of a team.

And you’re missing the fact that we’re currently a very heavy senior team this year thanks to Corona while Florida is very young…. On a consistent basis TENNESSEE will have to match their recruiting efforts or Tennessee simply won’t be able to consistently beat them without having seniors everywhere every 4-5 years.Or we might just outcoach them.
