When all those UM recruits are hitting the portal in 2024 we will be right there to pick and choose.
Well with Mullen a lot of the 4 stars turned out to be 3 star level at best. McElwain found quite a few individual performers though.
I also forgot about the non qualifiers Mullen brought in.
Donovan McMillon commits to Pitt
Pitt has landed a prominent and familiar name out of the transfer portal. McMillon is a Western Pennsylvania native and attended nearby Peters Township High School and was a four-star recruit in the class of 2021. The former Florida Gator entered his name in the transfer portal on December 2nd.

Grayson McCall in transfer portal: Five destinations where Coastal Carolina QB could become NFL Draft prospect - Per CBS
After the Birmingham Bowl on Dec. 27, McCall will be off to a new school.
McCall should have two seasons of eligibility remaining and plenty of suitors. As the only three-time Sun Belt Player of the Year in the conference's history, McCall has proven himself to be an accurate passer, effective runner and consistent winner. The Chanticleers have posted a 31-6 mark over the past three seasons during McCall's tenure at QB, which coincided with coach Jamey Chadwell's rise.
Chadwell, who is headed to Liberty to replace Hugh Freeze, employed a unique spread-option system at CCU with McCall at quarterback. The Chanticleers operated almost exclusively out of the shotgun but incorporated elements of the triple option into their scheme. Only six times in 34 career appearances has McCall attempted 30 or more passes in a game, and he's never topped 3,000 yards passing in a season.
But McCall has completed 70.4% of his passes with 78 touchdowns and just eight interceptions. He's also run for 1,053 yards and 16 touchdowns. So while the scheme McCall has played in has been unique, his production speaks for itself and should translate to other systems.
1. Liberty - reunion with Chadwell - former coach
2. NC State
3. Auburn
4. Florida
5. Oregon State or UCLA
Florida - Richardson made plenty of highlight-reel plays in Napier's first season at Florida, but his inaccuracy hampered the offense as he completed just 53.8% of his passes. McCall's career 70.4% completion percentage might look awfully appealing to Napier right now. McCall also threw fewer interceptions in three seasons as Coastal Carolina's starter (eight) than Richardson did just this season (nine).

I doubt any of the real top QBs come here unless Miller struggles in the bowl game.
Fever,
With Rashada & hopefully, Lagway on the horizon - you could be right.
Even though 247 gave Rashada a 5* rating, I am not overwhelmed with a true Fresh walking on campus - with or without spring practice & being anointed as QB1.
I hope Miller looks Great in the bowl game & gives us someone in spring practice to build our offense around.
I want Miller to draw a line in the sand & force Rashada to beat it & earn the QB1 job - IF he can.

Yes, having a quarterback hit the portal because the competition is so tough can be a good thing. A lot better than a few years ago when all our transfers struggled.
Sometimes production stats matter, and at other times they are dismissed, depending on one's individual (TT - Maxine ***) bias.... 🙄

Hopefully Brown gets some snaps tomorrow. I like his stats from high school. But I also trust Napier to play the best option.Sometimes production stats matter, and at other times they are dismissed, depending on one's individual (TT - Maxine ***) bias.... 🙄

CG1, after watching Napier's 6-6, 3-5 results with a Heisman hopeful QB at his disposal in 2022, my trust is not very strong on the QB coaching or choosing portion.... (I'm kinda Old-School on this, -- Trust but Verify) 🤓
And when you have to keep on bringing in xfer QB's that someone else has coached up for you, that doesn't help my 'trust factor' very much....
2nd String QB Kyle Engel 6-1 190 rsSo ** Walk-on
Zero Passing or Rushing Stats in 2022
1 Game, 13 plays.....
That vast experience certainly qualifies him to be 2nd string over any true Fr in the bowl.....

Miller (coached up elsewhere), and Brown are both his, as is incoming Rashada....
And so far, none of them have taken a snap at UF in a season game....

Fever,
I hope you are right & Miller has a GREAT Bowl Game - which the GATORS WIN & they build the offense around him in Spring Practice & force Rashada to beat him out in the fall & prove he is ready for the SEC !
Obviously a slow day in sports media but here is another list of Transfer Portal QBs that some writer thinks Napier & UF either are or should be interested in.
Several of them previously discussed in this thread -
FWIW LOL
Grayson McCall – Coastal Carolina
Graham Mertz – Wisconsin
Devin Leary – North Carolina State
Hudson Card – Texas
D.J. Uiagalelei – Clemson
Brennan Armstrong – Virginia
Spencer Sanders – Oklahoma State
https://gatorswire.usatoday.com/lists/florida-football-transfer-portal-quarterbacks-on3/NOT on the list - Sam Hartman - Wake Forest
I thought Hartman was the best potential transfer QB.
During his four seasons with the Demon Deacons, Hartman has thrown for 8,962 yards and 69 touchdowns.
Evidently Wake boosters thought so too & have gotten his NIL$$$ up to par & he has decided to stay at Wake.
"...Sam Hartman is hoping for more of the same in Winston-Salem: a 2022 encore. Following one of the best seasons in program history, Hartman seemed to announced on his Instagram account that he plans to return to Wake Forest for the 2023 season.
Hartman was named Second Team All-ACC this season."

If Napier can't coach up either rsFR Brown or rFr Rashada for 2023, then the thing that's most needed for 2023 is hiring a REAL QB COACH....
Consider this: The Zookster took tFr Leak and beat 3 Consecutive Top 11 ranked SEC teams,,, on the road. That included the 2003 NC, one loss LSU in Death Valley.
Was the Zookster a better QB coach than Napier is????

I'm extremely curious about the Saint Augustine product at Western Kentucky, Austin Reed.
That happened in Zook's 2nd season, not his first. Oh and how does Zook lose to Ole Piss in 2003?
Who?

The recruiting calendar is close to shifting back into a dead period, but Florida is still pushing hard to flip four-star tight end Jaden Platt.

Zook was busy fighting with frat boys...
Numbers,
I think most of them will stay put for any bowl games their teams may be involved in.
Also think that some of them are like Hartman at Wake & trying to get a raise in their NIL$$$.
Miller now a 3rd year player & tOSU didn't recruit him because he lacked talent in HS.
I, like Fever & others, want to see how Miller plays against Oregon State in the L V Bowl.
AND
I think Napier should give him every chance in spring practice to show his abilities before jumping on Another Transfer QB - who may not be any better & who won't know Napier's offense.
OL will be decent & we have 2 Excellent RBs; with two more on the way.
Transfer WRs & TEs critical.
If Miller can protect the ball - reduce turnovers - we will be OK on offense & can let Rashada develop - not wild about having a true Fresh as QB1.
I think our Defense - or lack thereof - is our biggest problem - your Noles ate us up in the 3rd Qtr - outscored us 17-0.
Transfer Portal Windows now in Effect
https://www.si.com/fannation/colleg.../college-football-transfer-portal-ncaa-change
The new rule created two transfer portal windows in college football and other sports:
- 45 days "beginning the day following the championship selection,"
- a 15 day period in the first two weeks of May at the end of spring practice, May 1-15
- the two windows last a total of 60 days
- "Reasonable accommodations" will be made for players in FBS and FCS national championship games.

I’m leery of Leary! Solid QB but injury concerns and not very mobile. Also had a somewhat disappointing season this past year.
The problem is if you wait until after Spring practice you will mostly only have the QBs that were beat out by other QBs. If we get a QB I really hope it's one who has already showed his play on the field. I guess a few decent veterans could get beat out by younger QBs though.
Fever,
I see your point !
Guess that I am disinclined to keep wasting schollys on Transfer QBs.
Everyone on this board knows that Gators have a miserable (non existent ?) history with Transfer QBs.
We will know if Miller can / will break this sad sequence of events in a few hours.
If he can't, then we can look in the portal, but I doubt we find much - Joe Burrows happen once in a lifetime.
Other MAJOR problem (I agree with Insta on this) is lack of a dedicated QB coach.
As the results are starting to show - Billy's time better spent on recruiting & managing the team.
Maybe Billy should enroll our QBs in the S & S (Steve Spurrier & Shane Matthews) QB Academy over the summer.
And apparently, neither can Napier....
Jeff, you and a few others continue to leave TT's Maxine out of the QB equation.
Is that on purpose, or just an acknowledgement that Napier has totally failed to coach up Brown already?
And if that's the case, then Billy had better stop bothering to recruit HS QB's, and start bringing in a couple of Sr xfer QB's every year, that someone else has coached up for him..... 🙄
Shouldn't a new Gator HC/QB's come in already KNOWING QB coaching??? WTF?
