He was just poking fun at the Aggies because he used to coach at Texas; if that's what passes for bulletin board material in College Station, they've got a lot to look forward to in the SEC.

This passes for cheerleaders over there.

Demarcus Robinson decommitted from Clemson.
May still get him in this class after all.

Demarcus Walker may be taking an unofficial visit soon too.
Bama is trying to hang on to him in the worst way.

FINALLY!

Demarcus Robinson, a 4* WR, switched his commitment from Clem$on to Florida today.

Clemson, they deserve 20 more defects.

JoeGator, on 18 December 2012 - 09:43 AM, said:

Bad news.

The damn WR switched back to Clem$on.

God I hate them. I wish Foley could get them on the schedule so we could destroy them.

Looky there. Congrats.

Only took an embarrasing loss to Louisville to get him to commit. Congrats and landing a potential star recruit. Stacking up WRs in Gainesville it looks like.

Unfortuneatly you will still lack someone under center who can get these studs the ball.

I don't believe it until his ass is in classes at UF. As much flip flopping he has done I wouldn't be surprised if he flips back to Clemson at the 11th hr.

We needed some WRs and we got some WRs.
Wow. I thought we were looking at a serious faceplant in recruiting that position.
I think we have 3 that look like they could made an immediate impact next year.

3 WRs? Probably right. Too bad you have noone to throw them the ball.

The way prospects are these days, I won't be comfortable with it until he's in class; but he was definitely a need.

As for having somebody who can get him the ball, no problem, we already have somebody. The lack of capable, developed WR's and an OL that can pass block longer than 2 seconds inhibited our passing game this year.

Having an inexperienced TE coach for a WR coach didn't help. Thankfully, we addressed each of those issues in the offseason.

Hired Joker as the WR coach.

Added 5 OL to the roster, including 2 JUCO's with some experience (1 was the first freshman to ever start at Nebraska).

Added 5 WR's, 3 of whom reside in the Top 15 in the country.

Looks like Muschamp should land another Top 5 class... I think we'll be fine.

Most of that is true. Though i have no clue how UF is landing the recruits they are.. But even with Driskell has time he seldomly makes an accurate throw.  He snaps the ball and already has his eyes glued to who hes throwning to without even seeing the coverage.   Maybe better WR's will help. All i know is from what ive seen Driskell makes Tebow look like Tom Brady.  With Brissett out of the picture now. Its Driskell or bust. Leaning towards bust unless Driskell has an epiphany during the offseason....or UF goes to the zone read again.  No way the "pro set" works without a QB who can throw consistantly.

I really can't even have a legitimate discussion with you if you don't know anything about the subject.
He stared down his first option almost every single time in the Sugar Bowl, but that was barely problematic the rest of the year.

If you had any knowledge about this team at all, you would know that OL and WRs have been a major problem for us in recent years.
Driskel is perfectly serviceable for what we want to do as a program.

Kid can throw; you go most of a season with no protection and see if you get gun-shy or inaccurate... kid would turn around on 3-step drops to find DL in his face. Brantley had the same problem; kid got hit so much he lost his confidence and his trust in the OL and WR's.

Hopefully Driskel won't have to endure another year of that; and a second consecutive year with the same OC for a change can't hurt. Staff continuity and consistency is pretty important, and we haven't had any until this year going into next.

We're also still phasing out those smaller, spread OL and building up others... that's one of the reasons the JUCO OL were a good addition; HS OL typically take at least a year or two (with some exceptions) to get big enough and strong enough to actually contribute in the SEC.

At least the staff recognizes that the passing game is a liability and aren't ignoring it.

What is the OL poised to look like next year? I know you guys stole a 6.8 350 monster from us. Anything else incoming?

Seeing a bunch of Jr. Defenders leaving for the NFL too.
