Title: Gators lose some key defenders next year
Post by: BanditVol on November 25, 2015, 04:03:12 EST
Both MLBs in the two deep graduate and Alex Bullard is gone.

Hargreaves likely to go pro.

They won't be rebuilding but should be down a notch.

Can't help looking forward to next season a bit, but .... back to Vandy.

I have been following their recruiting closely. Their recruiting will catch up to them in 2016 and 2017. Their offensive classes in 2014 and 2015 were not good. They had excellent defensive classes in 2013, 2014. Their 2015 class overall was poor. They have had good defenses, and do this year, which they have been riding. Their defense will not be as good next year and worse in 2017. They will also have QB issues, as I am not sure Grier will stay. Meanwhile their 2016 class is almost full and it's full of mid level 3 stars. 16 three stars in the 2016 class so far and most of them are not high 3 stars. I don't think McElwain is a good recruiter. Good coach, but average recruiter.

Meanwhile UT has had much better classes in 2014 and 2015 overall. The 2016 UT class will be smaller than FLs, but will likely have as many 4 stars.

We will see what happens with FL in the next few years, my prediction is that we will pass them up in 2016 and 2017.
