Damn, it wasn't earlier. While the Gators did hold on to five-star quarterback D.J. Lagway, who was being targeted by Texas A&M, Florida lost nine recruits throughout the entire process, including ESPN 300 safety Xavier Filsaime, who flipped to Texas on Dec. 18. Filsaime is the No. 42 recruit overall and the No. 2 safety in the class. The Longhorns were also able to get ESPN 300 running back Jerrick Gibson, the No. 34 recruit, who decommitted from Florida very early in the process. Texas flipped ESPN 300 corner Wardell Mack from the Gators as well. Mack is the No. 263 recruit overall and flipped in November. Florida also lost five-star defensive lineman Jamonta Waller and four-star DE Amaris Williams, who both flipped to Auburn. Waller is the No. 19 recruit overall and the No. 4 defensive end in the class. This is still a good haul for Florida, but it could've been a lot better, and the signing day process doesn't instill a lot of confidence given how many recruits almost flipped, or considered flipping, near the end. www.espn.com/college-football/recruiting/insider/story/_/id/39142538/college-football-signing-day-2023-winners-missed-recruiting

Bright side, if nothing else we have added depth on the O-line.

If Langway flips to USC, do we have enough to fill a QB room?

In recent memory have we flipped any recruits into our boat as opposed to all those that flip out of our boat. For the life of me I can't think of any. We go out and recruit, we make out our list, on signing day we lose 20% or so of the list and then we go high five each other, pat ourselves on the back and say ok there it is.

Knowing what we know, there may be a record number of sacks in the GA game if Etienne goes there. If Etienne is in the game we blitz! I am sure Stretch Armstrong is already scheming and plotting all new ways of isolating Etienne on a blitzing LB. Princely is going to be sorry he missed it!

Starting 5-0 and then finishing 5-7 would for sure be the final coffin nail, but I have to agree with Mo, I don't see a 5-0 start. Heck earlier in this thread I said 2-10 and sadly, I'm not sure that I'm fully ready to back off that yet.

Anybody hearing anything yet? I haven't heard a peep. No candidates no nothing. there was the coach O stuff out there but that was quickly debunked I believe. The silence is deafening.

tapsgator said: "This was my first thought when Meyer said he was done coaching (which I still don't necessarily buy), what better role for Meyer than becoming the AD at a destination school since he's still pissed about being pushed out at Ohio State? A Meyer with a chip on his shoulder and someone like Brian Johnson or Brian Hardline at the wheel for the football team? That would be a deal right there man. Napier can stay on and be the Tight Ends Coach or something Game Changer Coordinator." Fixed it for you.

With the Gators going 5-7 and not being bowl eligible is it even legal for us to participate in this......

"A run-based offense devoid of game-breaking talent, with a system and quarterback that focused 1st level, dink and dunk throws in the passing game for a majority of the season, gave the ball to its most dangerous player 13.8 times a game — when it averaged 67.5 plays a game. I’m not a mathematician, but that’s putting the ball in the best player’s hands 20.4% of the time. By comparison, Missouri gave the ball to RB Cody Schrader, its most dynamic option on offense, 33.5% of the time (269 touches, 22.4 per game). Etienne averaged 6.08 yards per touch; Schrader averaged 6.24. Etienne is in the transfer portal; Schrader is All-SEC."
Enough said........

Hearing that RDB is struggling to fill his open staff spots because nobody wants to give up the job they have to take one with a HC that may not be employed next year. So sad, sounds like more underqualified coaches on the way.

The portal takes, but the portal also gives. First a 5' 9" wide out from Missouri State was looking our way, now we are getting sniffs from a former All-Ivy leauge D-lineman from the Penn Quakers! The hits just keep on coming. Link - All-Ivy League Future Gator?

2 - 10 next year if we can beat Samford and Miss State.
L's against Miami, UCF and FSU.
The University of Florida! We are the Gators, the mighty mighty Gators!

Ouch, that's going to leave a mark.......
30 minutes ago the UF Gator Athletics page had a story noting his post season awards and accolades. It has since been taken down.
