    It was bama’s mediocrity following the Stalling years that led them to redouble their efforts of”support” when they hired NS. The rest as they say is history, they have a system in place that has been adaptable in the NIL era to help maintain their pipeline albeit at a much higher amount of $

    Gumbs played TE the first two years, so only the last year on D. May have nice upside.

    I've been a bit of a broken record about this. Totally agree. They couldn't stand seeing lsu, Florida, Tennessee and others win titles and be nationally relevant while their last title was in 1992. Saban was the perfect vehicle to attack every possible advantage abive board or not. I never would have thought he would stay as long as he has though.

    Yeah agreed. It was Gumby’s 1st year play DE in 2023. He played TE his 1st two years. We shall see. New DL coach likes him and he knows what he wants.

    He at least played against D1 competition (G5) unlike Jared Verse who played at Albany and Gumbs played the same competition as Braden Fiske in the MAC conference, both those guys did very well when they moved up and played P5 competition So I wouldn't count him out just yet.

    To be fair, the ACC G5 and FCS is splitting hairs on level of competition.

    Seems Quincy Ivory is already a project at DE/rush edge. Not sure we need another guy with potential upside….need more immediate dudes.

    1. That is extreme insulting to the G5 and FCS.
    2. While I agree in general we don’t know yet that the kid is necessarily a project. I have to assume the DL coach has seen him and knows what he brings to the table. We do have immediate dudes coming. McCray will be impossible to keep off the field. Howell will also be an immediate help.

    Why are you insulting the G5 and FCS like that?

    I would agree on Howell but…he is taking more visits and not committed to UF so I don’t count him.

    mCCray may end up awesome but true freshman rush edges that make huge contributions? I can’t think of any in recent gator history. In doing some research I didn’t see a single true freshman have a great year with sacks going back as far as Jack Youngblood. Alex Brown had 2 as a redshirt freshman. Kevin Carter 0 as a freshman. None of the great UF sack guys did much of anything as a true freshman.MCCray will hopefully dominate but he’d be a unicorn if he does. He will likely contribute for sure

    I suppose he was more of a OLB than an F. But Perkins tore it up at LSU.

    Stings a bit. It’s tough on the Oline when there is very little continuity. George and Waites are better suited inside so may be a good thing.
