Roster Clarity - Classification (big roster turnover looming)

Wonder if the coaching staff has already had their post season meeting with each of the players and whether that triggered the exodus on December 5?

 

Absolutely

 

And anything over van pwo I guess.

 

And the ones on premier rosters are dead weight. We can’t afford to have older guys that will never play meaningful snaps. We have to get younger guys with potential.

 

Beginning to sound like Nebraska of old

 

Chief going to the portal? He was such a positive force in the off season. A great recruiter. And now leaving? My guess is that he was advised to leave. He was less of a force on the field than I had anticipated. He was just too pro-Gator to be leaving on his own, don’t you think?

 

I think he has to go where he has a chance to play.

 

I can see him going out to Stanford like he was originally going to before picking the Gators. He has always put education high on the list. Looking at his transfer tweet, he made a point to thank all those helping him at the Hawkins center. Stanford will have a new coach and that guy will need players.

 

I believe they did.

 

Plus the fact that good players leave for the NFL now after their Junior or redshirt sophomore years. So, as a result, good teams usually have to be young teams now, unless you're hitting the Portal Potty for talent a lot.

 

28

 

Wow

 

You have been saying that your 30 number includes the portal but from the looks of it we may take 30 guys just from HS.
So to bring in portal players we would need a lot more than 3.

 

I think you have to do all of the above unless you can recruit top one or two every single year like Alabama or Georgia has done

 

We guarantee 4 year schollies right? So a player can’t be forced out, technically? They can be told they won’t play but they could stay if they wanted to, right?

 

6 Freshmen and 8 Sophomores are on the exit list. Total of 14 for those two classes.
This total does not appear to be a big hit. Could be like normal attrition.

On the good side, only 4 O-linemen (1 a Freshman) are leaving. We could have 18 O-linemen returning next season. The Gator O-line showed a lot of growth as the season progressed. We should have a great running game next year. Lets hope that we can pick up a good QB via the portal to create a passing threat too.
