    This is really starting to get me excited about recruiting. He was one of Michigans top targets on the OL. We need anther OL, a WR, and that short fast kid from Fla at RB, Thomas I think is his name.

    Also I am starting to believe that Charlie hit a homerun when he hired Corwin Brown.

    I share your optimism. We may see the Irish make a quantum leap in the next two years.

    Yes and this year we actually will have 4 CB's above 5'7" and who can run faster than a 5.0 40! :)

    Wow. These are 4 and 5 star players who were being recruited by everybody! This class is already near the edge of the chart in only 12 picks! Corwin Brown is a revelation and I agree with Terry that this class is just a WR and a TB away from being one of the best ever...

    Congratulations!

    At this point the Gators only have one verbal. We had kind of gotten used to getting more early.

    Bill,

    I'm guessing that a few things are going on for the Gators.

    1. SEC teams typically don't have a lot of commits early
    2. UF has recruited so well both under Zook and now Meyer that you are still loaded with talent and that makes the top players sort of want to watch and see how things work out.
    3. You are going after more of the 5* players that always tend to wait till the last month. I remember during Bowdens heydey that he'd have 6 commits about Christmas time and then he'd finish with a top 5 class loaded with 5* guys.
