    Why do I still think we are going to lose that game?

    Well at least we know why Jimbo signed that great class:

    New recruiting policy: "Rope" in our workouts is code for
    relaxation therapy NOT climbing................

    Probably because they’ll convert every third down they attempt.

    I saw several links put it at $30M, one of which Jimbo denied it was that amount. Maybe he denied it because it was $60M? :rolleyes:

    We may and we may not but Jimbo is in year FIVE. Year FIVE!
    CBN has not even completed a season yet. Even the hardest core pundits would not compare the two programs right now.

    UF may take it's licks this year, already have, and more may be coming. There is a time and a place to jump on the bashing train, but now is not it.

    UF still has recruiting momentum and it seems like it's picking up steam. A top 5 class is not out of the question. Already at #8 by most services. Cormani may be putting on a Gator Cap tommorrow. More are coming, we are in the mix for some great kids.

    That kid that just decommitted from FSU and committed to us was the first highly ranked offensive lineman to sign with UF since 2017. (Gouirage).

    Look at it this way, we sign 25+ and hit the transfer portal. UF could have 35 new faces on the roster next year. Will they be experienced and SEC ready, no, but the talent transition and infusion will be huge.

    While I understand the concern about the on field performance talent is on the way. Does anyone really believe Corey Raymond can't coach DB's? Just imagine what he will do with this backfield, especially if we pick up McClain and (maybe) Ricks to!

    Lock down corners and then throw those D Line studs in and suddenly EVERYTHING is different.

    I believe. I really do, it's just a couple of seasons away IMO.

    You don't think the system is setup for these players to get in trouble?

    True, but smoking out in the locker room? That's bold.

    Giving poor kids lots of money is a recipe for disaster for a lot of them. The seeds are being sown and the harvest will be destruction and heartbreak for a lot of these kids and the extent of it will be unreported and never known fully.

    Of course not intentionally. I'm asking if you think the system is at least partially to blame for the behaviors of some of these athletes. You seem to indicate it's all on the players.

    Setup… no. They make their own choices.
