    From my understanding dad was a headache. Doesn’t surprise me with the demand list the guy had UF told the family to kick rocks

    Let’s be honest. Unless DJ was a bust or Simmons was next level amazing, he was a stop-gap/insurance QB for next year. As long as we keep DJ in the fold, we’ll be fine.

    He certainly was mostly only depth for next year but there’s a lot clearer path for him in 24 and beyond in Gainesville than Oxford, regardless of DJ. I like to think of myself as mostly a pumper, This one hurts

    Right now the optics of UF recruiting QBs and NIL are spelling clusterf**k.

    We need Lagway to stick.

    Simply, this is the NIL era and not the one we want. It is what it is.

    And then…depression set in. It is really beginning to look like our days of being competitive in football are behind us. It was a great run. Forever a Gator, but it’s back to the 70s for UF

    I know this isn't necessarily the way it actually transpired, but if Simmons WAS Napier's strategic addition to the QB room, all this is a damn shame for his "plans". Methinks he is going to have to change his strategy moving forward.

    And I have NEVER worried about who says where they are signing with. All I care is that they actually sign and then show up to campus when they say they are. Otherwise...
