Reshaping the Florida Gators 2023 Quarterback Target Board
Analyzing the standing of the Florida Gators quarterback board following Jaden Rashada commit to Miami.https://www.si.com/college/florida/...iting-reshaping-2023-quarterback-target-board
Brandon Carroll's article examines high level uncommitted QBs around the country, possible flip candidates (Marcus Stokes & others), & QBs who may lose a QB competation & enter the transfer portal in the near future.
For every uncommitted QB Carroll mentioned, Gators, at this time, do not seem to be in contention. Most of them have announced commitment dates in the near future, but as we saw with Rashada, commit dates are changeable & ESD isn't until mid December.
The same goes with flip candidates.
Carroll feels that the Gators' efforts to recruit another quality QB1 will likely mirror their overarching recruiting strategy.
They will start from within the state and work their way out. I agree, more likely to get a spark from a Florida player who grew up wanting to be the next Tim Tebow.
"...Perhaps the transfer portal can once again be the Gators saving grace as it pertain to the stabilization of a quarterback room that contains very little promise for the future barring an unexpected jump from one of the current players occupying a spot on the (Gators') depth chart."
"...But, with crowded quarterback rooms around the country presenting a reason for players to depart, the exodus of high-caliber talents who failed to edge out their competation elsewhere will surely be looking for new homes to shine following the 2022 season."
Teams to watch for departing backups include Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama and GEORGIA.
Laugh all you want, bring out all the negatives from his switch to Georgia, but what about Dawgs #15 - Carsen Beck ?
Stetson Bennett, a 6th year player, is absolutely gone after this season. Stockton is a true Fresh, Vandagriff a RS Fresh, Beck a RS Soph - little time left on his clock at UGA.
Does anyone think he will beat out the No. 4 prospect in the 2021 class - 5* Brock Vandagriff ?
4* Gunner Stockton also seems to be ahead of him though he may be a transfer candidate also.
If Beck loses out to Vandagriff, he would have no chance to start at UGA - what does he do & where does he go ?
On his 1st Transfer he would be instantly eligable. Could he leave at the end of fall camp, learn the offense, & be ready for his Jr year at UF.
Recently, several UGA players have made the transfer from Athens to G'ville; Coaches can not talk to Beck about tranfering, BUT players already on our roster, who know him, can.
