X Henderson

Are you going to freak out every time a middling performer heads for the portal?

 

Billy's gearing up for 2024 and beyond. It means 2023 will be somewhat painful. But, hopefully that makes the turnaround that much sweeter.
Just gotta be patient....

 

Yep, gotta get rolling quickly.

I don’t necessarily thinking it’s freaking out. It’s just that we need guys and 3 weeks from now portal closes.
I’d agree w you about mid level performer but in terms of depth losing Ryland Powell and Henderson is concerning.

 

They clearly aren’t the future and they see they are getting passed up by younger players. Upper class men don’t want to sit on any team.

 

I doubt he’s going to a better place.

 

With nil, things have to be put in order.

 

Thought he had great straight away speed, but no so much wiggle and route running.

Looking forward to see what the younger guys can do.

 

Powell maybe more than Henderson. Dude we know this isn’t going to be a great season - especially early on. I’ll agree with all the doubters if we don’t see any improvement from the newer guys as the season progresses

 

So it begins…

 

I still won't. These youngsters, many just out of high school, have to grow-up and add muscle/strength and learn the ropes while playing an SEC gauntlet. They won't get the luxury of having upperclassmen ahead of them and coming back next year or the year after when they're more physically and mentally "ready." If they have trouble all year it can be expected . . . or not if they grow-up fast and gel fast. They not only have to learn the ropes but learn to play as a team, again, while playing an SEC gauntlet this year.

 

Maybe the nature of the portal, but don't see how continuing to lose veteran players is a positive as some imply.

 

But middling performers are all we've got!

 

But who is going to catch five or six wide receiver screens per game now?

 

It depends on who the player is and how much if any contribution he's made. But on a side note, if a player decides to remove himself from competing with younger talent, for whatever reason, he may well be wise in doing so.

 

Juniors

and seniors won’t be here when this rebuild Is done. Might as well get in with it. I wished we played AR the previous year. He could’ve had two full years. He is about to get paid though so maybe it was better that way.

 

We definitely have some middling fans.

 

It’s the current landscape of college football. It’s an issue for all programs.

 

Upper class men losing snaps and transferring shouldn’t surprise anyone.

 

You would think the portal only has UF players in it the way some are reacting.
