    Good stuff.

    Even though Zandamela was highly rated he was a raw recruit a lot like Wangoy. Looking forward to seeing all the 2024 OL recruits this spring.

    The Hansen/Livingston combo will be a year better. We'll see what Rios and Jackson bring to the offense. Rios looks a lot like Hansen/Livingston. Hopefully Jackson learned a lot while redshirtting. He brings that vertical seem busting threat to the TE room.

    I honestly don’t even care about the talent as i feel with Napier still calling plays, we’re not going to maximize the potential we have. 3-4 losses upcoming and i’d love to be wrong

    We all see it. I'll be happy to share a plate of crow at the end of the season if we are wrong.

    I myself am just glad being 64th in scoring offense "helps our identity as a team". I would not have thought that. Sorry for the sarcasm.

    9-3 would be a successful season. I don’t know why anyone would be disappointed in that.

    9-3 with a generational quarterback and a coach in year 4. Is that good enough? I don’t know. 10-2 and a playoff birth would be much better.

    The potential to be a generational talent. We havent seen anything near that yet.

    8-4 is probably the ceiling next year with the schedule and BN’s O scheme/playcalling. The success at the end of last year has raised expectations too high for next year IMO. And if the D doesn’t pick up where it left off, the final record could be worse than last year.

    KD could turn out to be the best of the current group. His high school clips were mind blowing.

    Got my eye on Jackson. If he can survive and adapt to the position (I understand he is more of a hybrid type), he could be an interesting option for staff / DJL.

    While I would like to disagree without hesitation, I can't, and my concerns are not the same as yours, it's with DJLs health.
    We had two QB starters knocked out last year.
    Not to mention a mash unit full of injuries all year long to various position groups.

    If DJL and the team, stays reasonably healthy, I'm on board with UF having a shot at a playoff birth.

    Should the opposite happen, and the timing of key injuries is early, it will be difficult to reach that 8 win total.

    Absolutely it does. A freshman quarterback does not usually read defenses well enough to exploit the center of the field. It wasn’t just a choice he made.
    THIS year it should be different. We will see. The experience factor is a necessity now. It can’t be rushed. A healthy sophomore should do much better.jmhfo.
