But also why is DJ Lagway on that list?

That's rough. That's a core group of guys that I really want to see stay and help build the program. One of those guys in the portal I get. But multiple? 😔 I just hope it's someone that's more easily replaceable.
 
Not understating the high school QB take? Disappointing we are losing the key guys needed to field a good team in 2025.

Ok...I read it a couple of times....

Theoretically, you can't have a player named a "starter" who gets fewer reps than the two players behind him. You can't have said "starter" with the same reps as the No. 2 & No. 3 guys combined, yet he has more tackles than those combined. You can't have those 2 & 3 guys making more money than said starter. You can't do that; if you do, you are setting yourself up for disaster, and unfortunately, unless things change in a hurry, multiple players will head to the portal.

2nd sentence has a typo or mistake somewhere, right?

This screams Shemar, hope he stays. But I also think we have some talent there
 
really you dont understand they need depth? If you name a portal QB that is ok with being a backup do you think he has high value? let me answer that for you, no.
He’d have more COLLEGE experience. Better than some rando high school kid with bad offers.
 
I have no inside information, but Shemar James was on my list of potential transfers. Graham and Chiles in the game together late in the 4th quarter against LSU and Ole Miss spoke volumes to me. Howard, Robinson, Graham, and Chiles all played a lot at LB, and I could see James transferring for his final season of eligibility. If we are going to lose multiple from that list James and Moore would be the least impactful losses (Moore can’t stay on the field). Any of the others would be a tough loss.
 
Sad that just about the time we appear to be knocking on the door we stand to lose key players. So, this would suggest that unless we swap out for similar talent from the portal we go backwards. Man, I never thought I would question my passion for college football but I definitely have a shelf life for continuing following this sport as currently constructed.

Why aren’t they going after Bryce Baker. Seems he has interest in others besides UNC now, and he and UF had mutual interest earlier on, correct?

First of all THANK YOU boosters. This is NOT about how much you give but about how Billy allocates it.

Is there a list of how much individual players make? Like how we know pro athlete contracts. How Billy spends his budget on players is a valid way of judging his job performance just like how much of his assistant coach budget goes to whom, who gets playing time, who gets a scholarship offer or a roster spot etc…

Many posters question if we spend enough. I question if Billy spends what we have wisely.

yes less or equal reps combined as the 2 and 3 guy BUT more tackles...how does that make sense - it does not it only means you are playing the wrong guys
ok, but that isn't what it said. you said: You can't have said "starter" with the same reps as the No. 2 & No. 3 guys combined (i think "combined" is the tricky part of this as it suggests said starter is getting half the snaps)

I am not sure giving more reps makes it much better though. They need to be able to pay the guys that are producing.

Pyburn should play more and be paid as a impact player same as trey, Sapp, lagway,baugh, gates ,banks and Slaughter. I think Hansen should be featured more in the future, Castell is decent i feel he not as gooold as we hope for but he is above average. Graham is should start next year i think time for James to move on through draft or transfer, think search is good but he can leave also if he wante to be a stater

Very hard for me to believe "multiple" players on that list will enter the portal. Just my opinion.
Wouldn't surprise me at all.... Good young talent at several of those positions to negate older players leaving.

1. He’s a guy you can probably get.
2. He’s good enough to be your 3rd qb.
3. He is teammates with two big time 2026 prospects. One of which he was throwing to every day. Bolles also has a big time TE prospect that is a 2028 kid I believe.
4. It’s good to have Jacksonville kids on the roster.

Sometimes you have to look past the offer list.
 
Make's sense TBH. At LB, DL and RB. BN just has to decide which guys at those positions make the most sense to hold onto strategically. I'm sure we all have our own opinions on who should stay or go out of that group.

Pyburn would shock me, dude is a Gator through and through. But never know these days! He’s the one I want to keep the most. Would be a huge blow if he leaves
I agree. Pyburn would be the biggest blow because he grew up a Gator fan. If you can’t keep guys like that around, this sport is in trouble. IF he’s one of the guys that wants to leave, I hope he changes his mind.
