Addazio gets recruiting honor
Steve Addazio has been named the college football recruiter of the year by ESPN.
Addazio helped put together the consensus No. 1 class in the nation despite the uncertain status of Urban Meyer and all the changes on the coaching staff.
Addazio is presently the interim head coach while Meyer takes a leave of absence to address heath issues that worsened during last season.
When Meyer makes his return, which is expected to be for the start of spring practice on March 17, … Read More »

Watching the ‘U’ a painful experience
I know this is a football blog, but because National Signing Day has come and gone and Urban Meyer is on his indefinite leave of absence, I thought it would be OK to step outside the box just this once.
I can’t help myself. I have to get this off my chest.
I WILL NEVER WATCH A COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAME ON ESPNU AGAIN! NEVER. EVER.
Trying to watch the Florida-Alabama game on the network Thursday night was an absolutely painful and excruciating experience. … Read More »

No. 1, No. 2 – what’s the difference?
When I went to bed Wednesday night, the Florida Gators were Rivals.com’s recruiting national champions. When I woke up Thursday morning, they were No. 2 behind Southern Cal, which jumped UF with the late addition of five-star offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson, who committed but did not sign with the Trojans.
Many Gator recruitniks are upset about this, even though Florida still has the consensus No. 1 class in the nation.
Why is that?
Maybe it’s the Lane Kiffin factor. His late surge with … Read More »

Best recruiting class in UF history
On National Signing Day (and on paper), Urban Meyer and his staff have put together the best recruiting class Florida has ever had. Had the No. 1 offensive linemen in the nation,Seantral Henderson, pulled the trigger for UF, this class would have shot right off the charts and into the stratosphere.
“It would have been the best recruiting class in the history of college football,” said Allen Wallace, the publisher of SuperPrep and the national recruiting editor for Scout.com. “I really … Read More »

Time for Tebow to shine
MOBILE, Ala. — Back in 1992, when I first saw Danny Wuerffel on the Florida practice field, I quickly formed an opinion about the true freshman quarterback. My thought was: this kid can’t play. His throwing motion was short and awkward. His passes fluttered off target. He didn’t look like much of a prospect at all.
Then a few days later, the Gators scrimmaged — and the real Danny Wuerffel emerged. When it meant something, he elevated his game to another … Read More »

Coop getting it done
MOBILE, Ala. – While the whole world seems to be focused on what quarterback Tim Tebow is doing this week at the Senior Bowl, his former Florida roommate is quietly doing some impressive things of his own in front of the hundreds of coaches and scouts present.
Riley Cooper has been the most consistent wide receiver on the South team. He had another good day Thursday, catching numerous passes, including one that went for a touchdown in seven-on-seven.
”This has been a … Read More »

Tebow finding a comfort zone
MOBILE, Ala. — Florida quarterback Tim Tebow continues to make progress in practice leading up to Saturday’s Senior Bowl.
Tebow had perhaps his best practice of the week Wednesday afternoon. He appeared more comfortable than he did earlier in the week under center and operating a new offense. Tebow bobbled only one hand-off Wednesday, after dropping several in the first two practices.
Tebow said the repetition in a new system is starting to pay off.
“I’m just feeling a little … Read More »

Mattison weighs in on Tebow, Meyer
MOBILE, Ala. — I ran into former Florida defensive coordinator Greg Mattison at a recent South practice for the Senior Bowl, and the Baltimore Ravens’ defensive coordinator was gracious enough to give us his take on several topics, including Tim Tebow and the health of Urban Meyer:
On Tebow in the draft: “I see Tim Tebow doing anything Tim Tebow wants to do. When people ask me about him, I say I don’t know about the technical things, I don’t … Read More »

Tebow draws a crowd
MOBILE, Ala. — As he transitions from college superstar to NFL quarterback, Tim Tebow is having to deal with a lot of new stuff this week at the Senior Bowl. New coaches, new schemes, new teammates, new expectations.
But one thing has not changed for the popular Florida quarterback.
He’s still a rock star.
Even here, in the heart of Crimson Tide and War Eagle country, Tebow is revered and adored. Hundreds of fans, many of them wearing Alabama or Auburn (and even … Read More »
