    Yeah, I was wrong Walker was only a 4* star QB recruit coming out of high school.

    One team was 6-6 one team just finished second in the final poll (although I don’t agree with that). Yes TCU is much more stable of a program. Don’t be blinded by fan hood.

    Who’s blinded by fanhood? TCU was a G5 school just 10 years ago. I think you need to step off the ledge.

    Lol ok man. If you think both programs are in equal ground that’s fine. I just choose to live in the real world.

    Tell that to all the guys who just committed to play at Florida. Where did TCU rank in recruiting?

    Let's not stop there. Which team is in the better conference? Which team has nicer facilities? Which team has won more national championships? Which team offers an easy path to starting at QB for the next couple seasons?

    Listen I don’t want to get hostile towards one another. Is our program better historically? Sure. But if you’re a kid with NFL aspirations why would you come to a program that appears to be a dumpster fire over a team that just played for a national title? Not trying to fight with you just debating. Hope I’m wrong. I would love if he came here. But if I wasn’t a gator fan and he was my son I would beg him to go to TCU. Nothing about our program looks like success right now. Hope I’m wrong.

    TCU literally went 5-7 last year and also has a first year coach. Them having everything come together this year doesn't suddenly make them some stable, superior program.

    Because we still put more players in the league, that’s one reason to come here.

    They have a first year head coach and are coming off a few poor seasons. How, exactly, does that make them more stable?

    Is that a joke?
    They played for a national championship. We lost to vandy and only won 5 1A games. We can’t sign a decent QB. Our new coach, who I like, haas t proved anything yet. We also lost 6 games last year. We’re not in a good place.

    Not on equal ground. We are way ahead of TCU. I’m not talking historically. I’m talking about $$ and influence currently. We are closer to Texas than we are to TCU. How long have you been following college football? 2022?

    You got me. I’ve been a fan for 1 total year. 6-6 is just as promising as a playoff birth.

    Yeah, they played for a championship.....and lost by 60 points.

    What does losing to Vandy have to do with anything? Did that loss hurt Richardson's draft stock? Did that loss cost Etienne any money? Did that loss tear down our nice new facilities? Did that loss transform campus into a dump with cold weather? Why should Howard, or anyone else for that matter, let any number of losses in 2022 be a factor in their decision to play for Florida in 2023?

    We "signed" two borderline 5* quarterbacks in Rashada and Lagway.

    We're in a bad place because of our record last year? How is that relevant? Using that logic, how did Alabama/Georgia manage to improve after Saban/Smart's first season?

    He’s scheduled to visit TCU. LSU boards state he may also visit UF.

    napier does know him and his family as he meant them in LA and also tried to get him to visit UF late in the process. Sadly, the butt bump dance from Kelley convinced him to attend LSU. Had a foot injury but was a highly ranked prospect.

    The only joke here is that you think one-year results equate to overall stability.
