Unfortunately Shemar James and Ventrell miller are our only “true” linebackers. One is a true freshman and the other has limitations in pass defense. Otherwise we have a bunch of physically talented converted rush ends that had never played linebacker before coming to Florida. And even then they were poorly coached. I’ve got faith that BN is working on a flip or two but trying to keep it quiet after the AJ Harris and Dijon Johnson debacles.. this isn’t a quick fix. It’s going to take time to turn the roster over
Portal and recruiting because we dont have many TRUE LB’s on the roster. Bunch of tweeners or converted players
The only way to fix it is to recruit actual LBs. This roster is full of talented projects and none of them are ready to play.
2024 we have a great LB commit. You would think James getting early playing time as a true freshman would entice some kids. Will likely need to pick up some transfers. Kansas had over 40 transfers to change their roster for the new coach.
That's too bad, but you're saying that's all it took to rethink their decisions? Sounds like their commitments weren't strong anyway.
Open the Dijon thread, start reading with the original post, disregard 150+ mustard puns, and find the 4-5 posts on topic. You’ll be caught up then. 100% Chance For Dijon Johnson
Gotta recruit em. Do whatever you gotta do in the portal & hs. Hopper was a huge loss. Diabate also, atleast for depth
