*fixed*

And I'm not worried.

Plenty of #1 5'9 CB's out there who do work on a weekly basis.

After we land LJ, I'm sure there will be a 'taller' 5'11 or so CB like a Terrance Brooks, Keion Payne, etc etc.

Not necessarily saying we will get these two, but just a taller CB.

LJ, Noel and Reid to a lesser extent are all physical CB's regardless of their stature.

And after seeing Tall WR's like Carr and Aaron Kelly, etc get shut down by smaller corners like Fonzie and DJ Moore.

w/ that said, I agree, we can't have a secondary filled w/ short corners.

Hopefully Jenije, Dionte or AJ pan out. They are all 5'11-6'0

And here's the best part. There are even odds on if the next Florida Gators arrest will be a felony or misdemeanor:

Misdemeanor 5-9
Felony 7-5
 
That story about Miami and recruiting sites is ridiculous.

As for the ACC football thread, it was comedy in the preseason last year. Then died for like 8 weeks and was resurrected when people were put on blast fortheir old quotes.

Lattimore would be a huge pick up for the Heels.
Lattimore Makes Key UNC Visit

Inside Carolina
Posted Jun 23, 2009


Marcus Lattimore has made numerous visits to North Carolina. This past weekend's visit, though, might have been the most crucial to UNC's chances - it marked the first visit by Lattimore's mother.

"She loved it," Lattimore said. "She loved the city and the people of Chapel Hill. It's not that big of a city, but it's fun - she liked that about it. She knows I'd have a good time there."
Lattimore's mother has now visited Auburn, Clemson, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

Lattimore, a 6-foot, 210-pounder from Duncan (S.C.) Byrnes, currently sits with eight final schools - Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, Maryland, North Carolina, Penn State, and South Carolina. By the end of the summer, he plans to further narrow that list to five.

With this past weekend's visit, UNC's chances of making that next cut have increased.

"North Carolina is going to stick with me for a while," Lattimore said. "They're probably going to make my top five at the end of the summer. I love North Carolina."

Lattimore and his mother, along with his stepfather, arrived in Chapel Hill on Friday night. Upon their arrival, Lattimore hung out with junior tailback Shaun Draughn, while his mother spent time with the coaches.

The following morning, Lattimore and company saw the academic side of UNC.

"I know that's a great degree from North Carolina - that's one thing that's kind of come in on me," Lattimore said.

Afterward, Lattimore and his mother spoke briefly with Butch Davis, who had to leave during the visit to spend time with ill father.

"I really didn't get to hear what he had talked about with my mom," Lattimore said. "But he was talking to me about his history and how important that is to look at. He talked about his history with running backs in his offense. He's had 30 first round picks in eight years - that's the one thing that's really appealing to me - and most of them were running backs - I really like that.

"He was just telling us that he really wants me there and I'm the missing piece to the 2010 class."

Throughout his stay, which lasted until Saturday evening, Lattimore spent a great deal of time with John Blake, his primary recruiter.

"Coach Blake, he's a great dude," Lattimore said. "… He's been telling me how great it would be if me, Corey [Miller], and Brandon [Willis] all came up and we could help win the ACC and national championships.

"I love Coach Blake and everything he does. He's just real genuine in what he does."

Additionally, Lattimore received an opportunity to build his relationship with John Shoop, UNC's offensive coordinator, and Kenny Browning, UNC's running backs coach. The three spent roughly 30 minutes watching offensive film together.

"I really liked the offense," Lattimore said. "I think the offense will fit me well.

"And I really like Coach Shoop, he's real intense [and] he loves his job. I like Coach Browning, he's a great teacher. I know they can help me get to the next level."

Between now and his end-of-summer cut day, Lattimore has one scheduled visit: Penn State on July 25. In addition to UNC, of his final eight, he has also visited Auburn, Clemson, and South Carolina.

His recruitment will come down to NSD. But if Momma Lattimore liked CH and UNC then I like our chances.

Dre you know we play y'all in CH on a Thursday night right?

Nah, I was just saying that PSU won't be his only visit before his end of summer cut-date.

So I just saw that we have some of our future schedules set now. Our OOC schedule the next few years is BUNS, word to Joe Gibbs. I won't post the wholethings, but 2014 we play THE Ohio State University in the Horseshoe on Sept. 20th, followed up by them visiting us in Lane the next year on Sept. 19th.Hopefully our program isn't in shambles by then

That would be a scary secondary. I still think you guys get LJ.


Can't Reid

Ronald Powell (big news, cross country again on his own dime) and Brandon Willis announced they are coming to FNL... and heard we slowed down recruitingRichard Ash so hopefully Urban knows what he is doing.

Yup. its true. Youngin was Lookin real good too
smh.gif

enrolled early and everything.
was mad physical too
His work ethic was impressive. well now he gets a red shirt. One less RB
frown.gif
and with Hardesty's propensity to get injured that really hurts
 
Always hate to see dudes get injured. Especially their knees. Hopefully Rainey doesn't get nicked up so much this year.

Means more playing time for B. Brown also.....I really wanna see what he can do.

Do you think Oku will red shirt now...or was that never an option?

Which site was that? Ash has said that he's a Gator and told all coaches that but he still wants to take visits.

FSU fans, thank Urban for getting Reid on track to qualify.

I dont think it was an option, I think Oku and Pete will most likely be the special team returners and Teague Maybe...



Its sad but these incoming Fresh. are the most explosive players on the team already

GatorCountry. Ash did say he was all Gator but apparently he performed at a less than expected level at the recent UT camp and Urban took note of this. We havea good shot with Powell and Willis so I think Urban is going to put more time into them.

And how was I way off? Were his mechanics NOT horrendous last year?



But it's damn near impossible, IMO, to completely fix the negatives w/ Pryor's throwing mechanics in a matter of months. He'll be a work in progress. He was very inaccurate last year do to his terrible footwork, throwing posture, etc. I think he'll be able to make due w/ his shotput throwing motion (a la Vince Young) but he's going to have to make drastic improvements other wise. He's a speciemen and a hell of an athlete, but we'll see how he develops as a QB.


And you know what really sucks? Coach Daniels (who help Troy Smith progress) is basically stepping down and they have a new QB coach, Coach Siciliano. Heworked with Pryor a lot last yr. Daniels is still recovering from cancer..Idk, he worked with him last yr..hopefully theyll get it going in the rightdirection.

And to judge his throwing motions in the spring game is a little unfair (I know dude in the other post brought it up). But its only what, 3 months removed fromlast season? Well get a better example by aug. Hopefully its much better...

Whatever Urban does I'm fine with. Ash has the frame to bulk up even though he's maybe at 250 right now. FNL will be key for Ash (as itis for most players hoping to come to UF). I'm sure that we haven't given up on Nix either.

I just can't see any way Powell ends up at UF but I hope that I'm wrong. Never got a Cali kid that USC has wanted. Urban and Dan would have tooverwhelm him because USC has as much if not more to offer than UF and he wouldn't have to go across the country.

Debose reported and will be wearing #4
