This seems more sensational than factual. First, arguable ones.
QB. Not so sure about Tebow. He was the #22 national recruit according to Rivals. Leak was #26, for comparison. I'd be stunned if Spurrier weren't more highly regarded; he was a high school all-ameican. I understand that formal rankings didn't exist then, but that does not appear to be a criteria; Lomas Brown is included. RB. Fason. Emmitt was the National Player of the Year by both Parade magazine and USA Today. C4 was #10 nationally; good but not best. DT. This is a clear miss. Brown was only the 3rd best DT that year, 23rd rated player overall. In the very next class, Florida pulled in the #1 and #2 DTs, two fellas named Sharif Floyd and Dominic Easely. They were #4 and #7 overall nationally that year; light years ahead of Brown. DE. How is this position excluded? Ronal Powell was the #1 overall recruit in the county, probably our only overall #1 outside of Emmitt and Percy Harvin. -Zeb On May 11, 2013, at 11:18 PM, Art Wroble wrote: > http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1633963-florida-gators-football-all-time-best-recruit-at-each-position > > > --- > If You Forward This Email, please delete my name & email address.
