    Man somehow things fell just right for UF to land the Class 7A Running Back of the Year last year in the state of Alabama:

    I don't think Saban is too worried since he has the #1 RB in the nation for 2016 in B.J. Emmons and the #33 player overall. Not to mention he has Najee Harris the #1 RB in the nation and the #2 overall player in the 2017 class as well as Brian Robinson the #4 overall RB in the 2017 class and the #63 overall player.

    Congrats though your guy looks like he's a really good back and should do well for the Gators, but Saban won't likely be wondering how he got away.

    Yep, good get for Florida. Not too surprising that Coach Mac can recruit the state of Alabama especially offensive talent.

    That's exactly why UF landed him.... of course.

    Sure.... Saban will hardly miss him but I tell you what I would always be a little bit excited every recruiting year for UF to land the top class 7A RB in Alabama.

    UGA and UT lately have kept us Gator fans from completely throwing in the towel.

    Winning 20 of 26 vs. the Dawgs and 11 straight over the Vols has helped to ease the pain of very recent futility vs. FSU ( 1-5 ) and Alabama ( 0-5 )

    This coming season we possibly can slip further into mediocrity though as UT is Mr. Hype of the SEC East and we play in Knoxville and Georgia could always rise up and smack us.

    Probably won't get a shot vs. Bama and then there is that season ending thumping by FSU again.

    I had better size up my head for one of those Commodore hats.... LOL.
