The Sky is NOT Falling - Thoughts on Recent Recruiting News and the Future... [LONG READ]

Yes..a great memory..my very first UF vs uga game..wonderful experience...stadium divided into quarters, goal line stand, the Bell to Ricky "the rocket " Nattiel TD pass to people storming the field after the win..people carrying out pieces of the goal posts and down markers..total wonderful and satisfying day ....a happy drive home

 

i am less concerned with ol as Napier and company have done well at player development at that position. But I think one IOL and one OT that could immediately be in the top 8 would be ideal.

Rush end, DE, a nickel, and another CB good enough to get in rotation I think are more important.

 

But haven't you heard? An OL that entered the portal was second team all SEC! If Billy doesn't get 27 first rounders in the portal right now he's finished and we're all going to DIE

We've had two single digit losses, but we also had three single digit wins. We could have been a lot worse as well...

 

3 things will play a major role in next year's season. The QB, the D-line play, and the O-line play. If we get above average/good play from those 3 positions then we win more games than we lose next year.

If one of those three are subpar then it's another year of pain and suffering for those here that feel we have to win right now...

Lol, that is not me. However, I reserve the right to critique that team and the coaching style.

 

I think people are really sleeping on the complete disaster of a situation we have at pass rush. Behind Powell-ryland, who was serviceable, we now have left on scholarship..… jack pyburn? Andrew savaiinaea?

At DE Umanmeilien is OK, but the only options behind him are justus boone or maybe moving Tyreak sapp to end - he played mostly in the middle last year.

this defense will continue to suck until they find a pass rush. And that doesn’t even discuss the lack of depth at dt. UF probably needs at least 3 more total DL transfers to have any chance of being decent unless the freshmen are really really special.

 

Unfortunately we are going to have to get a lot of snaps from true freshmen. Hopefully Kamran James or Searcy is ready to play right away.
