Still two open spots - any ideas, eggy? We land Watkins and Copeland what a close by the staff this will be during a supposed transition class. I've seen some rumblings about Miss State's ILB coach Christian Robinson coming on (he's recently followed some UF people on twitter as well). Young guy who played at UGA and coached at Ole Miss and Miss St. The 10th spot comes down to whether Skipper is retained or not. At this point, I'm assuming he's not, especially if Robinson is hired. If/when Skipper is gone, as I posted earlier, the 10th guy is likely going to be a DB coach (Ron English or Surtain seem likely with the edge going to English). Also in recruiting news, we're getting the last visit before NSD for Olaijah Griffin. As of now, we've got the last visit for Griffin, Copeland, Coynis Miller, Goodrich, Chapman and Gerald.

eggybucsfan31 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I have no idea whats up with Buckley. I'm guessing he ends up at FSU as I can't see Deion taking a paycut from his TV gig to be a position coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't consider it unexpected. He wasn't going to be a high pick, and he's a better fit in our new scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scalamania Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Quote Can confirm speculation #Gators have decided not to retain assistant coach Tim Skipper, while Ja'Juan Seider's new deal was finalized today. — Graham Hall (@GrahamHall_) January 4, 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggybucsfan31 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Really happy to see Seider retained. Not only a fantastic recruiter, but the work he did with the RB's last year was arguably even better. He had Thompson playing well for god's sake.

Fantastic news to get him and CeCe back. Hevesy is legit. Look at his track record: Justin Senior Gabe Jackson Derek Sherrod Blaine Clausell Dillon Day Martinas Rankin Chris Kemoeatu Mike Pouncey Maurkice Pouncey Maurice Hurt Marcus Gilbert Phil Trautwein He's got a long track record of success with OLs. It'll be interesting to see if Ivey plays LG or LT next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrry32 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Based on what I am hearing, this is how I think the class will realistically pan out if things go well: J. Copeland J. Watkins Q. Walker C. Miller D. Gerald O. Griffin N. Gouraige W. Barnes J. Chatman N. Jefferson There are moving parts and things that can change, though. Unfortunately, it looks like NPF will not be an easy pull. We're still in play but not the favorites. We have a lot of work to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggybucsfan31 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Despite getting the final visit, I'd be surprised if we land Griffin and Miller. The rest I'd put as likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
