Sebastien Dolcine commits to Kentucky!
- Thread starter TuckyFB
- Start date
SMH... Thought recruiting would improve by closing on this class. Good OG prospect, but he's not an OT.
For our staff he is. They've talked about moving him to tackle.
and for the last time, TRUST OUR STAFFS EVALUATION OF KIDS.
I'm happy to get this kid and I trust the coaches' judgement, but I take this as a sign that we probably won't get Thayer Munford (sp?).
For the people who are doubting Dolcine... Watch this. He's a force, you dont want to mess with.
Have you watched film on him.... I just watched some film on him and he's a lot faster than I thought he would be... He was going against some fast ends and staying right with them... Plus, they can't move back and reverse on him, because he's too strong... Like I said when I watched that film, he has to lead the nation on pancake blocks...

The timing if this 1 surprises me a little. Dolcine is a solid player with a Florida background, who can help us. He played at the same high school that produced Alvonte Bell. But it has been pretty clear that Stoops wanted Munford or Hillery. Hillery is currently committed to Miami, and there has always been a danger that Ohio State would offer Munford. So Dolcine is a nice get, but not the elite tackle Stoops wanted. Maybe he can still slip a tackle into the class at the end.
What difference does that make? By now, nobody should be questioning Stoops' ability to evaluate offensive linemen. Nick Haynes, Bunchy Stallings, Logan Stenberg were under the radar. Look at them now. Plus, Stoops and Schlarman have also developed Cole Mosier, a walk on.
I'm not complaining so please don't take this the wrong way but if the staff is accepting commitments from kids like this then I'm guessing they don't feel good about Wills or Munford either one. Perhaps even they've been told they would get neither. This kid looks solid though. Hope it works out.
Of course, Trevathan and Woodyard never played on a team with a winning record in the SEC, and Trevathan never even played on a team that broke even. You can get lucky with developing a 2* here and there, but if that is your recruiting philosophy in this or any other P5 conference, you will most likely soon be a couch coach, instead of a real coach.
Best offers are Temple and UCF. Staff must see something noone else does. Theyve done it before.
I was thinking the same thing but maybe when he committed to UCF the rest of the world backed off. Who knows.
But this is a very important recruit and I think he will contribute. We need all the players we can get out of South Florida especially if they can play in the SEC. We are going against a lot of schools that recruit that area heavy. There is a lot of talent down there.
If the staff worked on him to flip, they must have seen something they really liked.
Kid brings a mean streak. Love that video. Pretty sure with that name and living in Miami, he is a Haitian kid, fwiw.
Agreed...we need to stop pointing to the exceptions and the bigger picture which is law of averages are 2* kids don't turn programs around.
Coming off of a big UL win and bowl game...we'd like to imagine grabbing higher rated kids...but we'll trust the staff on this one and see how the rest of OL recruiting pans out.
I doubt anybody backed off when he committed to Central Florida. Obviously we did not.
His offer sheet is a little meh, but wow that kid rules the tape. Surprised he isn't ranked higher. Absolutely flattening dudes with a mean streak to boot. Sign me up!
There's a possibility that Stoops misses on both of those guys and then he's in trouble. Looks like he took the commitment and will still take one of the others if he can get one of them.
