Fan for 30+ years, finally making my first visit to The Swamp this weekend for the game and a college visit for my son, bringing my whole family.

Any advice, tips, must-do things while we are there?

Thanks!

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.

The premier pass rusher in the state has not been to UF since his official visit at the end of May, but even as Michigan offered and pushed for a trip, he elected to return to the Swamp for his unofficial.

"They’ve been showing a lot of love. I mess with the defensive line and how they will use me in the scheme, me and Coach Mike P have a strong relationship been recruiting me ever since my junior year."

Sounds like confirmation hearing will be a battle.

UF is NOT going to sign big recruiting classes of 25+ high schoolers any longer, as this just over-inflates the roster with bodies who all have to be paid something from the NIL budget. There's just no sense in signing more than 18-20 when the final 5-7 signees would just be 4th stringers. The new model shows that it is better to use those spots on proven portal players who can contribute right away and not be a risk.

Accordingly, because of the way classes are ranked by volume... do NOT pay attention to the overall class rankings. Look instead at the AVERAGE player ranking:


As you can see, UF is currently ranked 20th using this metric.

Am I saying that 20th is good? No.

I am saying that we are focusing on adding 5 or 6 more high school players who are highly-ranked kids... which could put our "high school" recruiting class into the Top 10.

And YES, of course we are shooting to go even higher in the future... which WINNING on the field in 2025 will help.

If we can get Top 10 high school talent and add in some big portal names... to go with the already talented young roster... we will be ready to compete for all the marbles.

What were the top 3 loudest moments of the game?

Assuming it was Baughs run, but 4th down stops are pretty electric too

Curious how he has been progressing this year? We all knew year 1 he would likely redshirt and continue to work in the weight room and improve. Could be a big piece moving forward if Slaughter decides to go pro.

Do these people not realize that hetero males do not want to watch 2 men kissing? And even if it was 2 females most of us are NOT going to watch that with our kids. Diz your brand is about the KIDS! We are not going to watch it. LGBTqwerty is about as appealing as watching your dog take a crap in the yard.

Only the dog gives a sh*t.


How do we get leftists out of the boardrooms?

Team is laser focused on Ole Miss and has turned the page on LSU. DJ is healing up faster then expected, hand it to our med .staff and trainers for handling this injury with precision and having a great plan to get him ready. Also, we should get more good news on the recruiting front, 👿👿

Go Gatas!

DISCLAIMER: Caleb Rillos is a true senior so he has a redshirt (don't type that too fast or you'll miss the second "r") year which he is using. He's back next year.

No Theo, we don’t need to know when you’re going to see your gyno.

This would be fireworks!!!!

I know this year has been up and down, not what we want it to be. But all in all, I think the coaches have done decent given all the injury circumstances. This isn’t a thread to argue, just a genuine conversation. I for one think the defensive coaches should stay. OL has looked improved.

I think we absolutely need an OC, too much on a HCs plate at UF to call plays. Other than that, what/who do you guys want to see replaced?
