UF "Pro" Day

[tapsgator]

You cannot argue with science and here is scientific evidence that the Cajun Willie Taggert approach is working:

Look at that list of "prospects." Just so you know I'm not making this up:

Pearsall is a day 2 guy probably although this years WR class is insanely good. Most drafts he's a 2nd rounder maybe sneaks into first.

Kingsley probably won't get drafted but will get a camp invite

Hudson was a "huge win" in the portal from FIU who barely played on a bad line and won't play on Sundays

Micah Leon is the 7th year senior who played in 2 games in his collegiate career. I guess he's there to throw to Pearsall? I don't know why Mertz wouldn't do that but maybe he doesn't want to create a distraction from his unfinished business

Eddie Battle parlayed 2018 and 19 seasons at Allan Hancock into 7 games of action at SW Missouri State and then 3 games in 2 years at UF as a walk-on

Jacob Watkins never played and from his bio pics on the website it appears he was the back-up punter. Maybe he's going to punt to Pearsall?

Griffin McDowell appeared in 3 games as a Red-shirt Junior in 2022.

Why would you hold a pro day with these guys? Just have Pearsall do a private workout and if enough people want to see Kingsley have him attend. Every coach competing against us on the recruiting trail should forward that to every target. I'd post it on my recruiting newsletter and have everybody look at it side to side with my Pro Day.

They should have brought in Big Des, so that he could wow the scouts with his latest weight gain.

Today is the big day. Can't wait to hear how Micah the 9th year senior looked.

Pearsall didn't workout. So the only guy that really ever played for the Gators with any remote chance of getting drafted at the Pro Day for the University of Florida is Eguakan. That's hilarious and also shows you what CWT has done to the program in the last 27 months. Absolutely pathetic and embarrassing.

It was a small group for Pro Day this year, but I think what you see is a strong group of young men who are not only good at playing make believe, but who are also high-character guys who have shown the ability to do the right things off the field.

[g8rfan]

More importantly, they want to be there.

They were also really really old. Like 7th year senior old. I bet the average age out there was like 23-24. NFL scouts love old dudes. Especially if they have low mileage from never getting to play.

We formerly only had Pearsall listed as a draft prospect, but after Fitz came in for those 5 weeks and transferred his strength and conditioning knowledge over to Miles, we were able to add 5 more to the list. Their stock is on the rise after lifting heavy weights using numbers.

"What we've elected to do for the guys looking to lose weight is decrease their food intake and increase their metabolic output. Muscle weighs more than fat!"

Also, what we're doing is trying to increase the amount of weight used in resistance exercises soas to get stronger. It is a revolutionary concept called "progressive resistance" Fitz explained it to Tyler the intern. And a whole new world was born.

You can't get knowledge like this just anywhere. That's expert level stuff right there.
