Where will DJ Lagway Rank?

I know it's early in his career, but I thought we would have a little fun today. I listed some former Florida quarterbacks, and I wanna know: When DJ Lagway's career is over at the University of Florida, which one of these guys will he be most comparable with, if any?

In before the gun confiscation NUTS.....


Come for our weapons. A FEMALE...VERY rare. If they would have taken my AR15 away, Theo thinks this would have never happened!

Generational QB (trigger warning)

I have seen no- less than 50 posts saying Lagway is our Generational QB. In all of these references it's folks shitting on Billy for not getting an OC and ruining our two year window with our "generational QB". sigh... anyway, I am not sure if folks are not understanding what the word means or the time frames of what a generation is hinting at. I absolutely love Lagway!!! And believe he has the POTENTIAL to be great this season and give us a chance to win every game we play regardless of our competition. I would say his highlight reel as a freshman could be the best we have ever had. His down field passing and being able to shake off DT's for a freshman is as good as I have ever seen and from interviews and folks that have met him he as good as you can get. Not to mention he played after the UGA game with a bum hammy... So his toughness is not in question either..

WIth all of the being said... and remember I am a pumper.. Lagway was under 60% completion percentage and had 12 TD passes with 9 PICKS.. being a gun slinger you will always have more picks than a Mertz but the ratio of TD's to Int is below ave even for a freshman. That last part was an assumption but I am sure Bud Elliot will pop up with the last 20-30 years(generational) of D1 stats for true freshman qb's and give their ratio in those stats and let me know if that was correct- (thanks Bud)..

Anyone that is throwing out Heisman or Generational are making assumptions based off of highlights and the understanding of the second year starter bump.. Maybe we could relax on those exceptionally high expectations so the kid doesn't have the weight of the program on his shoulders?

just a thought. Once again I love Lagway and my son has his jersey and I THINK he will go down as one of the best to ever wear the orange and blue BUT...

Oklahoma - Venables to call plays on defense

Obama and Schwarzenegger‘sCalifornia solar plant Ivanpah To Close

$1.6 billion in federal loans
$535 million in California grants
And it could not make money
Ivanoauh power $200 per kilowatt compared to $35 per kilowatt from a coal plant
Remember, this is supposed to be cleaner and more ecologically sound energy, sustainable energy yet it was also was very harsh on the environment killing thousands of birds and millions of insects

This is what happens when you let the government try and pick winners…

Had solar power been more efficient and could provide energy and a more marketable rate, it would’ve been naturally selected by a capitalist society decades ago!!

Ivanpah is the hole more than $1 billion and it’s about to close which means we pumped $2 billion into this solar plant that line the pockets of Obama and Schwarzenegger’s friends and we will never see a dime of that money back, we hurt the economy, and produced unfordable energy for California.


Again, the scariest words you’ll ever hear are, “we are the federal government, we’re here to help!!”

New Story UF MBK: Clayton Named to Bob Cousy Midseason Watch List.

Clayton leads the Gators in scoring, 3-point field goals and assists

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -
Florida men's basketball senior guard Walter Clayton Jr. has been selected for the Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year's 10-player midseason watch list, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame announced on Monday.

The senior from Lake Wales, Fla., leads the Gators with 17.4 points per game, 56 3-point field goals and 79 assists this season. Clayton is two points away from becoming the 57th player in program history to score 1,000 points as a Gator and the fifth to do so within two seasons. He is also in the midst of a program-record 44-game streak with a 3-point field goal.

Clayton has helped the Gators to an 18-3 start this season, including a 13-game win streak to open the season. He has six games with 25+ points this season, earned MVP honors at November's ESPN Events Invitational and is part of the Wooden Award Midseason Top 25.

Returning for the 2024-25 season:

It looks to me like Golden only has 2 position groups on the team he's building.
They are either CG-SF's or they are PF-C types, which is a good way to do it imo.


Group 1: (PG-SG-SF) - 6-2, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, 6-5, 6-5
Alijah Martin 6-2 210 Grad-Sr
Walter Clayton Jr 6-3 195 Sr
Will Richard 6-4 206 Sr
Denzel Aberdeen 6-5 190 Jr
Kajus Kublickas 6-2 171 So
Cooper Josefsberg 6-4 195 rsFr
Isaiah Brown 6-5 185 Fr - signed
Jack May 6-4 195 rsSr - WO


Group 2: (PF-C) - 6-9, 6-9, 6-11, 6-11, 7-1, 7-7

Micah Handlogten 7-1 235 Jr
Sam Alexis 6-9 225 Jr - xfer-in
Thomas Haugh 6-9 210 So
Alex Condon 6-11 230 So
Rueben Chinyelu 6-11 245 So - xfer-in
Olivier Rioux 7-7 300 Fr - unsigned, hard commit

That's 13 Ships + 1 WO. It appears that the ship slots are now filled.
Unless one or both (Clayton/Richard) leave for the NBA.
