Cole Cubelic with some rational thoughts about the 2024 Gators football team

Was a good summary from independent source.

 

Thorough and enjoyable - thanks Rick.
Two separate references to the “turds” and the “shitheads” being gone — interesting.
Also note that this was evidently before we held our class together through the spring portal, and picked up Zan and McCloud. Encouraging

 

Agree 100%. That was great stuff, very objective and on point. Thanks Rick.

This year is going to be fun. I really like what Napier is doing and our program's direction.

 

How can anyone rate this off topic?

 

LOL! Got no idea how my finger found that one!
Corrected

 

Scrolling for buttons

 

Thanks, Rick - interesting comments about Napier teams being built with all around solid players and team mates and not around superstars

 

Who is this guy- really knows a lot about the Gators.

Great listen. Balanced. Did not overrate specific players. Hope Andy Jean starts to come on. My only concern with EWIII is durability. Napier has to be prepared for him to not be available and know what he will do in that event. LB, DL and maybe secondary sound like strengths.

See us winning 7 or more RS games.

I just saw Amir Jackson TE is not on roster. What happened to him? I do not recall him decomm'd or news he wouldn't be on the team.

 

I believe he hasn't enrolled yet so would not be on roster until he arrives on campus.

 

Being built all around solid players = mediocrity....as in 7-5, 6-6, and, at best, 8-4.
Being built around all star players = championship contending...as in 10-2, at worst.

 

Who has done that? Maybe Saban and maybe Smart. Urban and Spurrier didn't. Dabo, Jimbo, Chizik, Orgeron and Harbaugh didn't. I think you are proposing an unrealistic standard that isn't even necessary to win. Most championships are won with a super solid team and/or a fantastic qb.

 

Recruiting rankings are pointless once the players have exhausted their eligibility. The proof is in the draft that Mullen's recruiting was crap. Bringing up recruiting rankings after the fact is akin to bringing up TCU's 2022 preseason win O/U was 6.5, when we know now they made the national championship game.

 

Whenever I see posts like the one you are referencing, I think of how Boise St beat Georgia. Boise was a TEAM that played with great execution and heart. Yes, they had players...but not an all-star line up.

 

Probably thinks Kiffy could.

 

How would we know what a team composed entirely of "solid" players can do, especially based on the last three-plus seasons? Allow me to remind you that we just went through an NFL draft in which the only player taken was a first rounder brought in via the portal by the guy you are inferring has failed as a recruiter. Anyone who can't see the improvement in this roster or the potential for more than "mediocrity" with this young but talented team is seeing what they want to see - BN run out of town on a rail.
