My concern on him is not losing out on his upside, but having his downside take others with him. Like the beautiful bad girl that every guy thinks he can "fix", Cormani may be the final straw that takes down Coach Billy. So your saying getting him and having him be a cancer in the locker room could be a good thing...........

My biggest take from the article..........
"Take away any rumored off the field drama and the reality is that McClain wasn't good on the field in 2023. According to Pro Football Focus, of the 488 defensive backs in the country who took at least 200 snaps, McClain graded 475th. He had a missed tackle rate of 37% on the season and against Washington State he was targeted 11 times, surrendering eight receptions."
We got plenty of this already, but at least most of what we have doesn't come with the attitude. While never having met the young man or spoken to the guy, only going on what I have read, I am a big "PASS" on this one.

Heck by 2026 we may even have an Executive Assistant Head Coach in Charge of CO-OC's, and even if everything thing goes to plan in 2025 there is a chance, if we are really, really lucky, that Lagway will come into 2026 with some "UNFINISHED BUSINESS". Watch out world, HERE COME THE GATORS!

Hate to break it to you all, but even with CWT at the helm calling plays and Unfinished Business Mertz ready to go in 2024, plus Lagway paving the future road of glory, we didn't make the list..... ESPN Link

Update: Crickets from Gainesville, as expected. Sources say that the DDD checked with Tyler the intern who called Fitz who said it was all good. I believe Tyler the intern paraphrased Fitz's comment, his whole response was, "he's no longer on my watch so it's all good".

You guys. It is negativity like this thread that is causing us to drop in these rankings. Nobody wants to come to UF anymore because we are running off all of the good coaches before they even have a chance to get their recruits and build things their way. Case-in-point: Look at Mullet, McGoober, Muschamp, and Zook. Those guys are now thriving since leaving Gainesville. Now I see, you are 100% right. Hell, on the other side the last 2 we tried to hang onto (SOS and Urban) are both now out of coaching altogether. How stupid are we......

We were noted as a "mentioned in conversations with others, but not often enough for inclusion" school. Go Gators!

I'm hoping we move fast enough that Kiffin doesn't get close enough to a Natty that he starts thinking he can just stay at Ole Miss with much less pressure and win one without our facilities and history. I am sure he already knows he can out recruit us from Oxford, but I think in his mind our history and new facilities are still a big draw. We need to keep it that way.

"Next year's schedule is more difficult." Yeah, but Kiffin will be up for it.

We should get "Zandamela" helmet stickers or jersey patches for the UCF game just to keep everyone focused on the prize. I wonder if that would be a recruiting violation?

Losing a kid like this to UCF could be one of those low water marks that makes people shift their focus and energies to Friday Night football.

Thanks goodness we have Mertz nailed down for the 2025 draft and the Gator draft streak will continue!

Not so sure on the UDFA's. So far we only have as many of them as we do drafted players..... 1. So sad 😔.
But your spot on with the other 2. We got us a bunch of walk on's, and we are going to use their eagerness and desire to be D1 athletes to go get us some SEC wins. The only difference between a 5 star and a walk on is some guy at a recruiting services opinion. Get ready, Gators are getting ready to to shock the world!

Regarding Wangoy, the thing CWT and staff have going for them is the kid has no real point of reference as to the level of coaching he is getting. Could be a new CWT tactic to slow down the portal departures, only recruit kids that have never played before and then you can baffle them with your bullshit and they don't know enough to bail out on you. That's next level strategizing right there, am I right?

So can we hang onto Lagway long enough to get Rashada vs Lagway in 2025? ESPN link

With CWT's constant dribble and babbling in his ear the whole game Mertz may take a step back in his performance this year.

I heard Ron Roberts was the brain power behind Stanford's band on the field defense. Yeah it wasn't completely successful but just a few more tweaks (keep an eye on the cheerleaders) and watch out SEC it may be time to break it out again.

LINK - Top 25 Defenses for 20204Looked over and over this list..... nope we didn't make it. Embarrassing thing is these schools did: Louisville NC State Air Force SMU Miami University, not the U, the RedHawks Kansas State Iowa State Rutgers Let that sink in...... these schools will have better defenses than THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, and I didn't even mention others like Utah and Ole Miss. Sad time to be a Gator.

Seems like he is just trying to fit into his new surroundings. Vehicular problems/instances seem to be a thing around GA athletics, DUI's, hit and runs, speeding, both in private vehicles and or University vehicles, etc., etc.

They could have added failure to block to the charges, he got off easy.

I hate to contradict the new guy, but it seem to me there are some pants on the defensive side of the ball that are in danger of bursting at the seams.
