On the front end of the Transfer Portal every “loss” from our roster of a 2024 contributor elicits almost audjble gasps from some of our posters. Especially seeing fan favorite Jack Pyburn, a veteran of a whopping 8 starts in his three seasons, and promising but enigmatic TJ Searcy who likely lands at SEC rivals LSU and Auburn. Kelby Collins committed to Alabama after being buried on our depth chart in 2024. But should we really worry about our EDGE and DE positions?

Aside from Tyreak Sapp, the inspirational leader on the line, and George Gumbs, Jr., here are two more reasons why those transfers are not big blows:

Kamryn James, 6-6 and 268 pounds, 4.78 speed, a talented sophomore who came on as well as anyone else in our closing 3-game finish to 2024;

LJ McCray, 6-6 and 272 pounds, a sure tackler and cat-quick, along with DJ Lagway our other highest rated 2024 recruit.

Both Kam James and LJ McCray bring much more tk the 2025 equation than Pyburn and Searcy.

For good measure, while our staff screens and recruits another interior defensive lineman to fit alongside rising star Caleb Banks the Gators await the return of Jamari Lyons. We’ve got talent.

He is right on this and they need to be reduced not increased. Musk and Vivek are full of crap. Vivek is trying to spin it now but he showed his true hand. Hopefully Trump will not allow this crap to be expanded. It's mostly just payouts to big business that screws US workers. IT and programming workers have really been abused with this nonsense to bring in cheaper foreign labor.

This is fairly significant. His own accountants:

Former President Donald Trump's long-time accounting firm informed the Trump Organization last week that it should no longer rely on nearly 10 years' worth of financial statements and that they would no longer be their accountants, citing a conflict of interest.
"We have come to this conclusion based, in part, upon the filings made by the New York Attorney General on January 18, 2022, our own investigation, and information received from internal and external sources," Mazars wrote in a letter to the Trump Organization chief legal officer, advising them to no longer rely on financial statements ending June 2011 through June 2020.

"While we have not concluded that the various financial statements, as a whole, contain material discrepancies, based upon the totality of the circumstances, we believe our advice to you to no longer rely upon those financial statements is appropriate."
The company also advised the Trump Organization to inform any recipients of the statements, such as lenders or insurers, to not rely on the statements.

Mazars also said it would no longer act as Trump's accountant, citing a "non-waivable conflict of interest." The accounting firm said the only work not completed was the filing of Trump and Melania Trump's tax returns. It says they are still seeking information about an apartment for Matthew Calamari Jr., the company's head of security, which they have sought for months but have not received. Trump's main accountant, Donald Bender, testified before the grand jury investigating the Trump Organization last year, sources told CNN.
The letter was included in a court filing by the New York attorney general's office, which has been trying to enforce a subpoena for documents from Trump and seek his testimony as well as that of Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump. A court hearing is set for Thursday.


I suspect the conflict of interest is that the Trump organization is likely to blame the accounting firm for the discrepancies that will be revealed and they will defend themselves. Hard to win a battle with your own accountants.

Gators 27-21

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

Is interesting to me that Texas A&M ended 2024 with the exact same record as Florida despite blowing us out early in the year.
8-5
But the Aggies lost 4 of their last 5 games including a loss to a 7-6 USC Trojans team that finished ninth in the Big Ten.
Florida won 4 of its last 5 games including a ball win against a 9 win Tulane team that finished second in the AAC.
Even if you throw out the bowl games, much different ending to the season.

RECRUITING rankings Rivals:
Texas A&M 10
Florida 9 (we actually jumped them with the addition of Dallas Wilson)

Quick turnaround. Glad we didn't catch someone like Syracuse with our banged up secondary. Miami is in the Pop Tarts bowl...

While I am not asking for names. curious how many more current Gators will enter the transfer portal.

The Left's heads will explode, of course.

Joe Biden has been our narcissist-in-chief. A man who advertised himself as a transitional president when he won the first time but couldn't give it up no matter how bad the poll numbers were. History will not or should not judge Biden kindly. And no better example of how the leaders of the democrat party view the interests of the American people far less than their own quest for power as they would keep this vegetable propped up to get a second term when THEY ALL KNEW of his mental deficiences. And only the Biden debate disaster got them to move him out. Shame on them all.
