    The main article on the home page spells out, which i think was widely known that Caden Jones was not playing in '23, his freshman season, because of a long standing injury though he was raw as it was too. Iirc this injury was something continuing from high school that he lost some time from his senior season though he played in the all America game. Lovett, also a '23, redshirted because of depth the same year, but despite being younger than Jones and physically needed a redshirt year, he had a lot more practice reps coming into '24, so Jones was left in the dust when in the fall camp Jones had more minor injuries. We really haven't seen what Jones has and he is likely not going to be pushed aside because the staff thinks he has SEC starter ability, just like Waites has gotten a lot of chances. I also don't see him getting a lot of reps in '25, but '26 could be wide open for opportunities after he finally has a full year of practice, well into his 3rd year.

    Wagnoy is interesting because he came up through the European club model where they play more throughout the year and move up in competition (age) through development and get to train with adults if they are promising. That makes a difference, and our system doesn't really have a comparison with that experience. Portnjagin got a similar experience through his semiprofessional football in Germany.

    Don’t like it. Too much of a penalty for real injuries. Like the idea of just making the player sit for the rest of the possession much better. If you’re not hurt bad enough to come back a play or two later, you should be able to get off the field. If you’re really hurt, it’s unlikely you’ll be back for the same possession anyway.

    To put it in perspective...that is over nearly 40 years he is the 70th ranked performance... meaning 2-3 guys have better numbers by my math per year totally bad ass numbers as well as Montrell. Kudos to two great Gators!

    Isiah Bond boasts he will beat 40 record at combine of 4.21 seconds...runs nearly two tenths slower and finishes in 19th place today. Chimere dusted him too....if you wanna run that mouth you should at least be close to backing it up.

    Top 10 percent of all ever tested at combine for those 4 Gators is a pretty good showing.
