Gators to Hire Ron Roberts as LB Coach, Co-Defensive Coordinator ?
- Thread starter Jeff from Jax
- Start date
Your ears are MUCH better than mine !
Please keep us posted on what you hear !
Dad,
"Game Changer" option needs some work !
The main thing to "coach them up on" -
when receiving a punt - if your heels are on the 10 yd line & the ball goes over your head - LET IT GO !
Fair catch does no good & YOU MAY FUMBLE !
Safety Donovan McMillon Entering Portal

He is the 12th UF player to announce his decision to depart from the program this year.https://www.si.com/college/florida/...transfer-portal-tracker-2022-donovan-mcmillon

Thinking more along the lines of 35 new players.
The phrase - "Wait for it !" comes to mind.
For me, this has not been a great season. But in the words of Thomas Fuller 'the darkest hour is just before the dawn'.
To once again become "The mighty Gators" we must erase the "Talent Gap (Chasm !)" between us and UGA, Bama, LSU, & Tenn.
Billy has created the infrastructure & he & his staff are making major strides in recruiting.
We are ranked #9 in the Rivals Recruiting Class Rankings.
With last's year's disaster & our record this year - this is nothing short of a miracle.
D.J. Lagway, nation's No. 2 quarterback in 2024, recaps 'amazing' final USC Trojans visit as decision looms
As soon as this news broke, Billy was on a plane to Texas to visit QB D J Lagway. With everything else on his plate right now, this was gut check time.We are 6-6, & USCw will probably be in the CFP. I don't know how things will play out in Willis, Texas; frankly the odds are stacked against us.
Lincoln Riley developed 2 Heisman Trophy winners at Oklahoma - Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray & will likely have his 3rd Winner - Caleb Williams at USCw.
When you look at his stats, you can see why Riley KNIFED Oklahoma in the back to steal him.
Conscience (An awareness of morality in regard to one's behavior), what conscience ?
Riley took the $$$ & amputated his.
Through 12 starts before Friday's PAC12 Conference Championship game against Utah, Williams has 3,712 passing yards, 44 total touchdowns (34 passing, 10 rushing) and just three interceptions.
USC is 11-1 in his starts, with the only loss coming to Utah on Oct. 15 despite Williams’ five touchdown passes and zero interceptions.
I am a coward & if I bothered to respond, I would have delegated an Asst Coach to fly to Texas; Billy jumped on a plane to try to salvage the situation.
Don't know how it will work out, but I am proud to have a fighter like Billy Napier as our head coach.

This kid even has a cool name for a QB
Just play all BN's 2022 Fr and X-fers in the 'It don't matter' bowl, filling in any gaps with some of the chumps that DM left behind. Caring has gone on vacation and might not return....
He could play the 2 WO QB's for all I care.

Officials are hoping the additional spots result in coaches steering their recruiting back to the high school level. Some coaches have stated publicly that they’re holding as many as half of their classes for transfers, adversely impacting high school and junior college recruiting.
“When you start looking at where we’re headed with the transfer portal, there are two ways of looking at it,” Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck told SI in the spring. “The first singing day is like the draft. The second part is free agency, and that’s the transfer portal. You’ll see less and less people signing 25 high school kids.”
Portal hunting comes at a cost, hurting overall numbers. Not only does a transfer punish his own school by leaving an empty scholarship spot, but he’s using one of the precious 25-signee spots at his new school despite, many times, not having a full four years of eligibility remaining.
That is just a few excerpts from the long article, so use the link if interested.

VINCENT CARROLL-JACKSON
Fast Rising 2023 OT Vincent Carroll has landed scholarship offers from both Florida and Georgia. Both of those SEC opportunities were delivered over the past 24 hours, while schools such as Rutgers, Ohio, Kent State, Buffalo and Central Michigan have offered as well.
Rivals lists him as a DT; the article calls him an OT. Assume that someone his size playing for a small school is probably a 2-way player.
With the possibility of taking 35 recruits - HS & Portal; Gators taking a flyer on him ?

DB Corey Collier Jr. Entering Portal - WTF ?
Some attrition is actually addition by subtraction - but in this case I don't think so !Is he shopping his NIL $$$ or what ?
If this holds up - not a good sign !
Collier appeared in three games in 2022, playing primarily on special teams. He recorded his first career tackle against Eastern Washington in the season opener.
As a freshman in 2021, he played in two games and redshirted. Collier saw game action against Samford and made his collegiate debut in Week 6 vs. Vanderbilt, appearing on special teams.

Clemson DB Fred Davis to enter transfer portal

"I’m officially entering the transfer portal on Dec 5th." Davis tweeted.
In 2022, Davis had 15 tackles, a fumble recovery, and two pass deflections.
While at Clemson, he had 34 tackles, including 1.5 for loss, a fumble recovery, and four pass breakups.
He was a four-star recruit in high school at Trinity Christian Academy in Jacksonville, FL.

Clemson's Fred Davis II, Malcolm Greene sued over 2021 accident
May need a change of scenery - perhaps G'ville.

Collier turned out to not be any good and could not crack our safety rotation which isn’t a good thing.

Napier's exit interviews must have been honest and direct. He's doing his best to separate the wheat from the chaff.

One of the nation's best uncommitted prospects is off the board and is headed to Athens.

It’s official: Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei enters the transfer portal
Uiagalelei was benched for Cade Klubnik, his true freshman backup, during Saturday night’s ACC championship game.
Tebow,
Agree -
M'Pemba made an early visit, but we never seemed to get any traction with him.
He stinks

Linebacker David Reese will enter the transfer portal
https://www.gatorcountry.com/feature/linebacker-david-reese-will-enter-the-transfer-portal/
He wont be missed either
A prediction I saw on another board about 6 weeks ago estimated that up to 25 players will leave.
Once Dabo developed some nads by benching him, having Klubnik lead the offense made their defense much better.
Need to get kids in that know how to win
Ocala,
The more who leave; the quicker the rebuild.
The HS recruiting staff & Bird Sherrill, Director of College Personnel, will be working 24/7 for the next several months
Yep I have no issues with the kids leaving to try and find starting positions but we definitely need to get rid of the problem ones. This will basically be Napier's team next season except for the O line maybe which we don't seem to have problem cases there. A lot of youth with some good transfers mixed in hopefully.
Gators Remain in Front for OT Visiting Florida Next Week
New Orleans-area offensive tackle Caden Jones will officially visit the Florida Gators on December 9.

Carroll-Jackson building a connection with the Florida Gators’ coaching staff
Offensive lineman Vincent Carroll-Jackson (6-5, 285, Harrisburg, PA. Central Dauphin East) picked up the offer from Florida after talking to the Gators offensive line coaches.“Coach [Rob] Sale and Coach [Darnell] Stapleton offered me on Saturday,” Carroll-Jackson said. “
The offensive lineman who’s playing football for the first time this year plays both offensive and defensive line, but the Gators see Carroll-Jackson helping them on offense.

To compensate for the 6-6 coaching??? 😉
The chaff is being removed,,,,
AND/OR
Players leaving a 6-6 sinking ship....
Some of both is most likely imo.
But either way, next year 6-6 BN loses the weak DM chaff excuse.... 🤓
