    Kind of fits in with the UCF crowd, no? Fake national titles, talking trash to big brother, etc.

    Also, Bobby...I’m in before the lock .

    It's nice to see a gator family having their dream come true by him getting a PWO. He will need this year with Savage and the training table, but he may still get a scholarship. Great pickup without a downside (using a PWO on the Nelson brother to get the other could be a lose lose situation with other options with bigger frames than Nelson out there).

    Yeah, couldn’t agree more about Boatang. Mullen is very smart and strategical and plays the portal better than anybody. Harris to me would be a great get.
    I see Nonar on the radar now and would love to get going w Belle Glade area.
    At this point of this group below we need 3 as I’m counting Boatang and Livingston as 2:

    Harris
    Farmer
    Nonar
    Conner
    Who am I forgetting.

    Well the elephant in the room is going nowhere until there is change one way or the other. Hopefully , the change is our line performing muuuuuuch better. They had their strengths last year for sure but not being able to have Pierce get 3rd and 1 on a consistent basis is a problem that is hard to overlook.

    I agree we had our struggles in short yardage....but I think it's human nature to remember the one you don't make and forget the 10 you do. With Emory or AR we will be MUCH better in short yardage just because they are a threat

    For sure. I think that’s just an element of Mullen’s offense because of numbers when a qb is a running threat. Our line looked well coached and worked well as a unit but were just not talented enough to be elite overall. And yes, with a better defense we could have still won a championship with a subpar line so Hev is doing something right. However, we do need to see some improvement.

    Just being able to run WHEN teams know we are about to run is what we need to be better at

    EJ averaged 6 yards a carry I think, the different dimension in the offense will make a big difference I guess. I’d still like to be able to do the three yards and a cloud of dust anytime we choose to. It just makes everything else easier. Kinda like having the run game that DW had behind him.

    yep i agree. 2nd and 6 are down and distances I’d take right now to the bank if i could in regards to the run game

    No doubt. The entire playbook is in play 2nd and 6.

    Maybe Neto could be a possibility, maybe Agboo, and maybe Hood. Although both are in the 6'8" category, I am not high on Hood or Nonar. Nonar looks to need a lot of strength development, especially in his legs, and Hood doesn't move well at allx and I don't think it is primarily due to weight.

    I know Neto was at A&M recently so i wonder if they’re the team to beat at the moment

    Nick is doing all he can to keep in contact with the OL. Neto would be a fabulous addition, as would Agbo… Hood, Connor.
