Will be a slot guy in the NFL. Has outstanding hands, cuts. The most versatile back I have seen in a while.

A little known fact is that Baxters dad played at the Univ of Fla...didnt letter and used to live in Jacksonville. But dont think we are after him that much with all the skill positions we have lined up...we need more OL..maybe 1 more LB and maybe 1 wr.

I agree, it sounds like USC is pretty much out of it. How UF ends up finishing this class out is going to be pretty interesting, lots of interested people little spots. If he wants to come he might have to move fast.

We have a bunch of guys who may or may not be in this class. Essentially guys who are down to a 50/50 choice between Florida and one other school. Not favored to get any of these guys at the moment, but I wouldn't be surprised if one or two of them jump aboard this class.

Seantrel Henderson
Jordan Hicks
Dillon Baxter
Christian Jones
Christian Green
Chaz Green
Ivan McCartney
Adrian Coxson

Thanks. So you don't think Taylor will be offered a spot?

I don't know what's going on with him. It sounds like he wants to commit and people that know him seem to think he's committed to Florida, but I don't know if he has a legit offer.

Looks like Florida just accepted his official commitment.

So I see us taking one more WR/OL and then holding the last two spots open JUST in case Henderson or Hicks want to come.

I'm thinking Florida will fill up before he makes a commitment.

You SC guys thinking Oregon?

Maybe commitment wise but you lost OWA, he won't even consider SC now. You may have lost others you just don't know it yet. Haven't heard anything more about this guy, maybe you have.

Giovanni Di Poalo

Oregon may also be getting some interest from center Giovanni Di Poalo. The 6' 4" offensive lineman is a high school teammate of Oregon commit Troy Hill. When Oregon missed out on Micah Hatchie they left one offensive line spot open that they could fill if the right commit came along. Di Poalo would clearly fit that bill. He's been committed to USC for awhile but appears to have opened things back up as well.

Word is Baxter is back solid with USC-not as solida as before, but has come around big-time. Hsas been a USC fan for life, which bodes well.

Florida probably told him they didn't have a scholarship to give him.

Just kidding... maybe. USC got a good player.

I love that Paul Rudy got the exclusive. That is awesome.

Maybe Dillon will pull the Reggie special - Silver Pigskin winner to Heisman Trophy winner.

Florida is probably going to end up with 3 of the top 4 players from California, which is absurd and a death knell for USC



Dude, sack up. SC will be fine. We've had guys from Florida too, believe it or not. Florida, Texas, Georgia, Arkansas, New Jersey, etc. Not every guy wants to go to school at the their local college. No biggie. A "death knell"? C'mon, son.

And hey! Baxter is comin' to SC anyway. So no worries.
