There are rumblings out of The Swamp this morning that the Gators either got a commitment or are very close to a commitment from stud outside linebacker Lamar Dawson (6-2, 235, Danville, KY Boyle County). This is a versatile kid who is the best athlete on his high school team. He is a slot receiver and part-time tailback in addition to being a seek and destroy linebacker.
Also keep your eye on offensive lineman Tommy Jordan (6-5, 285, Ridgefield, CT), who is another one who could pull the trigger for Florida this weekend. Jordan is a Steve Addazio special. Every year Addazio goes up to the northeast and brings home a big time player (see Aaron Hernandez, Will Hill for example).
The Florida recruiting class of 2011 is just starting to pick up steam. Don't be surprised to see the Gators somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-15 commitments right after Friday Night Lights in July. This is going to be another serious recruiting class, more than likely top five in quality.
I keep hearing the Gators could get a transfer of some magnitude in the next two or three weeks. Can't confirm who he is or where he's from, but the little bit of info that's been leaked my way says it's a significant addition if indeed the Gators do land him.
Great stuff Franz, awesome! I have a theory about LBs who were good RBs in high school, the ability to find the open spot and run to it helps a linebacker find the open space, shed blockers and run to the ball. Addazio can flat snag primo recruits up in that neck of the woods too, thanks Franz, amazing stuff...
ReplyDeletethats not just your theory thats alot of peoples
ReplyDeletefunny that you will probably get more followers of your blog from FG than GC
ReplyDeleteand i've heard this is not true and the 2 i've heard from are are super super reliable
ReplyDeleteGreat news! We definitely need good tackles. Dawson is a big time recruit and would give us an inside linebacker with size.
ReplyDeleteisn't true
