    That sounds promising! Not saying he sees F$U or L$U winning a natty.

    The funny thing about the three schools he is looking at is that Napier might be the most secure coach of the bunch.

    I believe a Gator win this Saturday cements the deal for us.

    If he feels like that, then commit and help recruit others to win a championship.

    Personally I think UF, the Collective, CBN, the Boosters, need to go ahead and "Call" and shove ALL the CHIPS (BAGS) into the middle of the table to aquire as many studs as possible this cycle both in HS and the portal.

    Why?

    1) CBN is staying
    2) Florida has an emerging "Youth" player development movement that is finally starting to show itself under CBN
    3) DJL - Probably the most imporant reason. If UF is lucky we keep this kid 2 more years. UF needs to surround him with as much talent as possible to make playoff runs in 25 and 26.

    Get after it Gators!

    Yep, we have a 2 year window and need to make a run. Hopefully, they will go all in. DJL is a talent that doesn't come along very often.

    Man, I hope someone does a podcast with these talking points. Otherwise, how will anyone know what to do?

    I feel the same way to a point Head, but let’s not forget the team chemistry factor that is a huge part of how our team has gelled and rebounded in recent weeks. Any recruit who has created the impression of looking for the biggest bag pops up a flag for me. In his player selections and the criteria he uses for identifying his targets, Billy has established a team ethic that any coaching staff would envy. It should never be taken for granted, and it also must be maintained continuously and relentlessly. No player is worth disrupting the character of this team.

    Go Gators

    Sound logic as always Skink. UF does not need any "Prima Donnas", UF may have the best "Locker Room" culture since the heydays of the HBC! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours btw!

    Go Gators!

    I honestly believe that is what the plan is in the portal.

    Yeah, what I heard was they passed the hat for the Napier buyout and when he turned it around they decided to repurpose the money for NIL.
