Gators to Hire Ron Roberts as LB Coach, Co-Defensive Coordinator ?

[ocalaman]

Take a look at the top prospects from the state of Florida and see who's getting them. Napier still has a lot of work to do, IMO. We're still losing out to Bama, Georgia, Ohio State and Miami for the best of the best. Our top signee this year is #17 unless Desmond Ricks decides to sign with us, which is not looking good.

Good news, FSU only lost one top 100 player this ESD, but no worries, we got a 3 star DB. Much better than the raw dogging we took last yr on ESD.....and people said Norvell couldn't improve.

Yep we aren't getting the very top guys in FL due to what NIL has done and after Muschamp's first couple of classes it was because many of those same schools were paying recruits a lot of money illegally. We can't blame Napier himself for not getting a top five 2nd class like was the norm here through Muschamp.

Yes FSUs high school recruiting class was pretty cruddy again

Of course fevered,,, the actual 'on the field' results in 2022, didn't and won't affect recruiting at all, because it's being driven exclusively by NIL.... 🤣

They don't matter through the 2nd class at least that is why a coach can mess up enough to be fired but at certain schools the new coach will still pull top classes. Unfortunately since Muschamp was fired we arent one of those schools any longer that is basically a lock for a top 5 area 2nd class for a new coach because of payoffs.

Dijon Johnson & Aaron Gates have officially signed. Still waiting on Rashada.

 

[instaGATOR]

As I suspected, Miller & Mertz might affect Rashada coming, and Brown staying.

The perfect Recruiting trade if the worst happens:
Miller & Mertz traded for Brown & Rashada.... 😠

Good class CBN.

Yes Rashada’s LOI is now in

Not too bad of a 2nd class considering the limitations Napier had compared to some other teams. From about 8th to 12th in the composite team rankings it basically looks like whoever did the best evaluations will end up with the better class as long as they are coached up.

Arik Gilbert must have got out of the "facility" and has entered the transfer portal again.

 

[ocalaman]

It would be nice to get Hall and Ricks tomorrow. But we need several more experienced portal guys, IMO.

 

[ocalaman]

This Ohio State linebacker is transferring to Florida

Florida is losing a linebacker to the NFL but it’s also gaining one via the transfer portal as well.

would have made rashada the next chris leak

Let's hope Rashada adds at least another 15-20 lbs by the time Napier makes him a starter before mid season.

You think we might get one or both of them? I thought they are heading elsewhere but would love to get either of them.

BREAKING: Arik Gilbert Enters the NCAA Transfer Portal​

Georgia tight end Arik Gilbert has entered the NCAA Transfer portal sources have confirmed. The story was first reported by On3.com.

https://www.si.com/college/georgia/news/breaking-arik-gilbert-enters-the-ncaa-transfer-portal

Arik Gilbert is moving on from the Georgia program. DawgsHQ has learned that the redshirt sophomore has entered his name into the NCAA’s student-athlete transfer portal. Persons of knowledge of the situation indicate that his time at Georgia is over.

The former-five-star prospect joined the Georgia football team during the summer prior to the 2021 National Championship run. He appeared in three of Georgia’s 28 games of the past two seasons with two catches for 16 yards and a touchdown.

Yep. He’s got some real issues. Two years invested with nothing to show on the field.

DT Jordan Hall - Jacksonville, Westside HS

Where did he sign ?

Him and Ricks sign tomorrow apparently but I think we have almost no chance to land Ricks but not sure about Hall.

Hall most likely athens bound. Bama has made a late push but all indications we will finish behind dawgs.

Supposedly it's Hall to Georgia, Ricks to LSU. But we can hope.

We don't seem to get many signing day surprises.

Another message board is saying Arik Gilbert is coming to Florida.

That may be a bumped thread from when he went into the portal before but you never know I guess.

Country,

Not good ones, anyway

 

[sadgator]

….you need a little portal help with proven players to be able to get to 10 wins in the new + OK and TX SEC…

Lol…How ‘bout 7 wins…what do need for that?

Bad take for UF imo. Dude is a team cancer

 

[Gator Fever]

An offensive punch consisting of Mertz and Miller?

Remember when Foley announced McElwain as coach and said he would bring back the offensive punch to the Gators that we had been missing under Muschamp.

 

[GwinnettDawg]

He’s not a cancer. He’s just messed up and won’t contribute. I would think the Gator staff will look at his time at Georgia and the departure from LSU and take a pass.

He's a cancer, he played for UGA.

Also, I don't think he actually transferred, think it was a troll

 

[PacoGator19]

As far as I know UF has no interest in Gilbert. That would be news to me but I could be wrong

 

[GwinnettDawg]

Your hate makes you look really ridiculous. And it’s not happening. the source of this was from the last time he played musical chairs.

That makes sense. I haven't seen the claim anywhere else.

Gilbert will end up in Colorado probably.

I guess Jermaine Johnson was a cancer also?
