I'm all for adding as much talent as you can for the Gators, but why would this kid go there? Gators just signed the 2 top safety prospects last year (Will Hill will see considerable playing time for the next 3 years at the very least) and have more already on the roster that are young and talented (Major Wright, Dorian Munroe)...

Jaggedice,

Because it's Florida. And he might not be afraid of competition. Only thing that might hurt Florida is that they were late to the party.

I bet he goes to Georgia where he can be a starter.

u can never have to many good players..bring em all in

Florida is going to be safety deep. Didn't they already bring in Hill and Finley who are the top two at their position? Along with Major Wright?

I would bet Georgia or Michigan will snag this guy, RR will rpobboly tell him he can be quaterback ha

I hate Florida but man Urban is one heck of a recruiter.

April 22, 2008  12:35 PM ET

I hope he picks UGA, I really like what they are doing in Athens

April 22, 2008  01:08 PM ET

Im going out on a limb and saying he'll choose Vandy!

April 22, 2008  01:43 PM ET

Ha - my buddy goes to Vandy, they got some HOT women up there man, the only problem is their the kinda hot chick that knows they are hot and acts accordingly.

April 22, 2008  02:44 PM ET

Pick UCF.. go knights..

April 22, 2008  04:03 PM ET

Hopefully he goes to Michigan, we could also use depth in the secondary. Donovan Warren is a star but Morgan Trent can run fast and thats about it. It would also help other players from the south think about coming up north to play for the big blue

They refuse to bolden our full name one more time and I'm sending out a nasty polymorphic that will make their server explode.....no, not really...I'll just forget about it in a minute.

At 6'2.5" teams very well oould have the intentions of turning him into an outside linebacker. They of course would add 30 or 40 pounds to him.

April 22, 2008  10:03 PM ET

He ain't gonna be a LB if he weighs 185. He's gotta put more meat on those bones. I would know b/c I'm those dimensions, and I couldn't play LB in D-I b/c I'm too skinny.

My bad southernmiss, I read your first sentence at first. Here's to hastiness!

April 23, 2008  01:27 AM ET
