Have we decided on a mascot yet?

Have we decided on a mascot yet?
He is down to 159 on 247 and fallen out of Top 100 overall in other services.

He still has 4 stars...
You do realize that there is star inflation today. ESPN gives 4*'s to the first 194 recruits. 4* now days is like participation ribbons.
My son follows UF pretty close, has had friends playing for them for last 8 years or so, but I don't have time. He tells me that they really wanted Sexton, but Avery Johnson probably has him sowed up. Frazier had camped with them the last couple of summers and played very well, but they never offered. Lots of Gators questioned that decision.
May have a chip on his shoulder over it now.

Hey- we all hope DaMonte rebounds from his struggles, but it is pretty clear that he will not be a consensus RSCI Top 100 anymore.
My point is that other than Tilmon, the class while it does have some nice prospects who will hopefully contribute down the road, it is not a great class yet by any means without a Goodwin type added to the other guys.
We really need to another Top 50 guy who can come in and give us impact minutes right away.
Goodwin would make a decent class a very good class.

I know everyone is in love with Goodwin, and rightfully so. But I hope people don't lose excitement over this class if we don't get him. IMO getting one of Goodwin, Lewis, Eastern, or Smith makes this a really good and exciting class. Of course still have to get a PG and PF/C to go along with one of those wings.
That being said, I bet we do get Goodwin.

Agree. Just want to get another impact kid who will be able to work into rotation quickly.

I have to admit I really like Frazier's ability to change speeds.
I expect Williams to also work into the rotation pretty quickly. We will have a PG and SG covered anyway from a starters standpoint but he should be able to contribute off the bench pretty early on. How many minutes is yet to be seen and will depend a lot on the play of AJ and TJL along with if the PG we get (hopefully) is someone like Frazier or someone of the caliber of Scruggs. Combine that will Tilmon and we already have 2 important positions with players who should be able to contribute as freshmen. Add in Goodwin and we should have at least 3. I think Pickett is an obvious RS candidate.
Regardless of who we get outside of Tilmon and Scruggs (if we are so lucky) I don't see any of the 2017 class as starters right away.
For some reason, he just reminds me of Yogi Ferrell. Obviously not near the same talent level or possible All-B1G player (one of the best), but maybe it's that he looks like him I don't know, that's just the vibe I get watching his play style.
I would expect Williams and (possibly) Frazier to compete hard with TJL for the starting PG spot. Lucas is only going to have a year head start on those guys. Unless JCL has somehow developed into a PG (which I don't expect), that spot should be pretty wide open, no?
