    This is what I am trying to say. If the kid really thinks he has a chance in the NFL, then UF will be a better place for him because nobody else is behind DJ. If he goes to UGA they have one established who played in the SEC CG and CFP. They also have a gazillion 5* QBs they recruited that are no longer at UGA. What does mean? Maybe they don't like Bobo or they don't want them to go to their rivals. Or maybe it's all about the money. Whatever it is, it's à bad look for UF. I mean who handles UF's NIL contracts? Is it VIII?
    Gatorcountry puts out the news he's transferring to UF. Next day, it's not so fast my friend. It's a joke.

    Wasn't Georgia this time but it was with Maddox. Same thing. It's a bad look but worse is the lost portal period and resources wasted.

    I don’t think it reflects badly on UF at all. Many of these “commits” are just money grabbing clowns and I’m for kicking every damn one of them to the curb the instant they start this shit. Screw em

    Rumor I heard is that this kid didn't understand what he was dealing with in front of him, i.e., DJ Lagway. What rock has he been living under?

    Lol... I was projecting my thoughts on it, based on how the NIL and portal has worked to the advantage of the players and their ability to go to wherever they want, and get whatever they want.

    Maybe the sec-sec rule is still in play. Surprised it hasn’t been challenged yet, if so. The first guy to challenge probably won’t get it turned over in time so maybe it’s just not worth the effort unless you just enjoy litigation and making wholesale changes to the sport. I thought the rule had just gone by the wayside like most of the other transfer restrictions, but quite a few people still believe it’s in play. Apk isn’t wrong very often.

    Lot of Harrison Bailey chatter as a possible addition. Many will remember him from his original recruitment, Gator fan that was bypassed and he signed with Tenn. Seems to be a nice fit now, experienced and one year left....hope this woks out for both sides

    If some player challenges that will be tough sledding in court considering that regular students can transfer between any semester. Frankly I'm surprised that not being able to transfer after Summer semester hasn't been challenged.

    I don't see why not, there's no contract.

    Because the coaching staff didn't want a throwing QB but an athlete who could throw.

    The NCAA still trying to "limit" NIL opportunities. They tried that in 2023 when they proposed transfer restrictions and got their hands slapped by the courts. The new proposal also restricts transfer ability beyond what is currently allowed. I'm guessing someone will take that to court if they try to limit transfers again.

    Sorry, I was not clear....I meant that the NCAA would have tough sledding in court, not whoever the player/plaintiff is.

    Yeah...but he looked good in the bowl game, and he has physical tools. Seems like a perfect bridge to trammel and Griffin

    We need "mental" tools more than "physical" IMO. At QB especially.
