I cant beleive I gave this guy's site a "click"

Don't bother giving this guy traffic

 

Here's the rundown

 

GRADES:

 

UF: A+

What a day for the Gators and new head coach Jim McElwain. Not only did UF land the nation's top offensive lineman in Apopka's Martez Ivey and the No. 2 defensive end in CeCe Jefferson...

 

FSU: A

It's hard to knock the No. 3 recruiting class in the country even though the Seminoles lost a couple of quality prospects leading up to signing day. The wealth of talent on the signees list, however, will ease the pain.

 

UCF: A-

Coach George O'Leary said this might be the most talented group the Knights have signed since he's been at the school.

UCF brought in its normal crew of under-recruited yet talented prospects, and in Miami, it wasn't exactly the greatest day.

 

MIAMI: C+

The Hurricanes saw a flurry of decommitments late due to rumors about the coaching staff's job security. Running backs Dexter Williams and Jordan Scarlett were the deepest blows, but the ‘Canes also failed to keep some big-time talent at home in Miami.

 

USF: C-

The Bulls needed a strong class to help make a move this season. The recruiting path coach Willie Taggart predicted he would blaze is littered with three-star prospects and some players no one else wanted.

Also, with the exception of the 4* DB, isn't UCFs class, "littered with three-star prospects" too?

Bwahaha, that's exactly what I was thinking. What a waste of online space, glad I didn't click. Thanks for the rundown, dogma.

I'd give our class a C+. We needed a good QB and didn't get one. If we got one, a solid B/B+. It wasn't a very exciting class, just solid. UCF's is just a little better in terms of qulaity than ours, but not A- quality.

I give our class a solid B.  A B+ if you take in consideration the the state of the program (4 losing seasons, waning fan support, A coach on the hot seat).

That's the one source that I "sometimes" forget to ask for links if not provided .....

 

The author is obviously a ******* idiot. UF had a better class than the #3 one in the country .... :facepalm:
