Encouraging Signs for 2024 Season

That’s what you have for “Something Encouraging in 2024”? Oy vey.

FYI, just because you don't understand the context of the "reports", doesn't mean they're not helpful.

 

Just like that you follow the power-whiners script of playing the victim card when called on your BS- smh

Bellyaching isn’t “constructive” criticism and the only “evidence/analytical” info you posted was complaining about recruiting rankins, (the talent level (based on recruiting) is some of the lowest in the conference)... So, you have an issue with players like Slaughter (low 3*)- interesting. UFs starting OGs in 2022 had the lowest recruiting star ratings in the entire power five. They must have been awful- right?

Anyway, @doctor8r’s fine thread here is about “Encouraging Signs for 2024”. I’ll take your hypernegative OL stuff to his January “OL Developing” thread.

To get back on track for encouraging signs, the reported improved OT depth will be a ginormous improvement in 2024. UF had 1 (one!) ready OT in 2023. Looking to have 4-5 and maybe even 6 (six!) in 2024. Westpal as OT6 has a Harris vibe to him with regards to being physically ready as a true Fr. We’ll see.

 

The defense looking like they know their responsibilities and getting plays called in on time would go a long way.
Coaching towards instant recognition and reaction allows the players to play their assignments with smart aggression. Giving them to much on their plate (elite brainiac scheme) causes them to be a bit slow going through progressions. Love the ones your with

 

This is sort of true but if you have Barry Sanders coming through your hole and you have two guys flanking you to keep his ass going straight, it’s a little easier to tackle him. But if he has the option of left or right, you are screwed.

 

I saw a starter and captain of the defense... NOT screwed.

 

They have 50 walk ons, on the team. There has to be at least 10 special to the defense to learn to tackle.

 

That's the Percy drill...

 

Myles Graham out for remainder of spring due to back surgery. On3

 

I understand that folks that buy all the "reports" hook, line, and sinker can be adequately described as gullible.

 

Yeah, that sucks, but apparently it's an injury that needed attention so he decided to get it handled instead of doing it later. Good move. But it's a bummer having him gone for the spring. Kid's gonna be a stud. Not that many HS kids come in that buffed and man-like! Maybe his down time can be spent learning the "D"?

This is the time for optimism. It happens every spring for me. Eventually, one of these springs will carry over and make a difference come fall! Woo-Hoo.

Go Gators.

 

Imaginary hot seat

 

This thread is for encouraging signs for the gators. Dammit

 

There’s a lot of gators with hot panties,though

 

It’s better to have a little glamour, and just sit in a pile of piss every day of your life

 

We have 3 coaches on the defense that have coordinator experience, coaching all 3 levels of the defense. That and all the experience we are bringing back should create a very sound defense.

If you don't have optimism at some point in time, then you will be miserable at all points in time.

 

How's this for optimism: I'm expecting an improved defense in 2024 because it would be next to impossible for it to be any worse than 2023's unit . Of course, I had the same thought after the 2022 debacle and you know how that turned out

 

The 2024 class ranking of 14 is not a piss poor class. Going 7 and 5 or better next season and the new recruiting budget should have the Gators cracking the top ten again.

 

Wet dreamy.
