We all need to remember that Lagway is in the 2024 class, so even if he commits to us today, there's a lot that could happen between now and when the kid actually signs.

Absolutely but I would love to get his commitment now because he’s a big time prospect that is also a QB and can help lure other great players as well.We all need to remember that Lagway is in the 2024 class, so even if he commits to us today, there's a lot that could happen between now and when the kid actually signs.

Well, since he's not going to Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, Texas A&M or USC, they'll probably downgrade him to a 4-star rating by the time it's all over!!Elite QB DJ Lagway commits to Florida: 'I love what Coach Napier is doing'

Awesome info! Well then I have no doubt Brown will easily win the competition for starting QB.DJ Lagway 6-3 190 - 2022 HS (Fr+So+Jr) Max Preps stats in 29 Games:

If that's a 5-star QB, then by comparison, Max Brown was a 6-star....
Brown will likely move on to greener pastures,,, if he's smart about it.Awesome info! Well then I have no doubt Brown will easily win the competition for starting QB.
No way a little competition scares him off...Brown will likely move on to greener pastures,,, if he's smart about it.
(BTW, he was projected straight to MLB out of HS as a SS/Catcher before switching to football in his Jr season, then going 24-0 regular season as a QB-dt)
So Rashada and Lagway can battle it out with Engel and Anders....
I certainly wish him luckCoach on DJ Lagway: 'His dream is to be the greatest player to ever touch the field' at Florida

while we certainly need QB depth, this is one where I would let the incoming Freshman and Brown battle it out next year. Or if by some miracle Miller actually looks good in the bowl game he can join the fight.Florida football: Gators are the favorites to land Spencer Sanders
FWIW - Click Bait de jour served up HOT !
Florida is now the favorite to land Oklahoma State transfer Spencer Sanders, according to bookies.com.
Let's wait & see how Miller does in the L V Bowl before we add more QBs. Billy busy recruiting & NO QB Coach.
While he isn’t the flashiest with his arm or his legs and isn’t the best QB in the portal to date, Sanders would be a solid addition to the team.
His years of experience will help him stay focused in the SEC, and he can be a great mentor to Jaden Rashada during his freshman season.
This season Sanders was a little banged up at times and threw for 2,642 yards on a 57.6% completion rate with a 17:9 TD-to-INT ratio. He was also a threat with his legs, running for 391 yards and eight touchdowns.

Billy will survive -- or not, on what he does and produces. Those constantly dissing on Dan might want to STFU, as he has coached up Alex Smith, Tim Tebow, Dak Prescott, and Kyle Trask
Just a question, man. You said while Napier was coaching at Arizona St. he tried to recruit Jack Miller for ASU, but was snubbed when he chose Ohio State. Napier was only at Arizona State for the 2017 season and was head coach at Louisiana from 2018-2021. Miller graduated early from Scottsdale, AZ high school in December 2019, signed with the Buckeyes then and enrolled at OSU January 2020. So Miller was a high school sophomore the one year Napier was at Arizona State and I'm fairly certain Napier wasn't recruiting him for the Sun Devils during Miller's junior and senior years in 2018 and 2019 when he was the head coach at Louisiana. So how was Napier snubbed when Miller chose to go to OSU instead of ASU? Just curious.Billy will survive -- or not, on what he does and produces. Those constantly dissing on Dan might want to STFU, as he has coached up Alex Smith, Tim Tebow, Dak Prescott, and Kyle Trask among others.
What QB's does Billy have on his list of highly successful QB's???
His 2021 LaTech team produced 3 NFL draft picks, Rnd-4 Safety & Rnd 4 Tackle, and a Rnd 6 RB.
While Billy was the OC/QB's at AzSt, he tried to recruit Miller III, but he got snubbed as Miller chose tOSU instead.
So Billy then brought xfer-portal Miller to UF as a failed 3rd string tOSU QB xfer with a DUI past, then instantly named him the #2 QB. The Fall result was in Miller getting injured and not playing a down, but at least it sent that terrible 4-Star QB Rio-Wilson to the portal, so it's all for the good anyway.
The Gator beginning 2022 QB Room:
Emory Jones - Spring, was encouraged to exit, so portal to AzSt.
Carlos Del Rio-Wilson snubbed in Spring, so exit portal to Syracuse.
AR-15 - He goes 6-6 with Billy's system/coaching and so he bolts early for the NFL
Jack Miller III - Injured at Fall practice, out for the season.
Jalen Kitna - Little used, then arrested and dismissed for CSAM to end the season.
Kyle Engel - WO named the #2 QB behind Miller following Kitna's departure.
---
Max Brown - Totally unused and still rotting on the bench.
2022 (Freshman) Has not seen action this season, from UF Bio:
Oklahoma District 3-3A HS MVP as a 2021 senior...
Threw for 2,750 yards, 71.1%, 41 passing TDs with 1,343 rushing yards plus 20 TD's. Led HS to a 13-1 record and 3A state runner-up finish...
He accounted for 4,416 passing-yards and 68 TD's, 10 Ints, in just 2 seasons playing QB. He also ran for 2,335 Yds and 33 TD's with only 1 LPF...
Total Offense - 683 plays, 6,751 Yds, 9.9 Yds/Play, 101 TD's, 11 Turnovers.
Ranked a top 15 player in the state of Oklahoma by 247Sports..
Chose Florida over Washington after de-committing from E.Mich.
In the iG's opinion, if Max is not ready to take snaps yet, then that's on the QB coach, not on Max....

So what's the QB Room look like for 2023?
Miller rsSo ***
Engel rsJr **
Brown rsFr ***
Anders rsJr **
#7 QB Rashada Fr 6-4 185 **** - Pittsburg, CA (EE??)
One of those will be the 2023 starter, and any ship QB not willing to be a bench warming backup should be xfered out post Spring O&B.
The 2 rsJr WO's can cover as the backup QB's.

Anyone not willing to be a bench warming backup should be xfered out by the post-Spring in 2024, because as anyone knows, you can't beat out a 5-Star...
With HS Sr Lagway on the way for 2024, here's his Soph highlights.

Napier has placed his fingerprints all over the Gators' quarterback room. He's shaped it to fit the vision of his offense, his team and his culture as he attempts to build his empire in Gainesville, so from this moment forward, it's all on him....
You will NEVER get an answer. Well, maybe 😴.Just a question, man. You said while Napier was coaching at Arizona St. he tried to recruit Jack Miller for ASU, but was snubbed when he chose Ohio State. Napier was only at Arizona State for the 2017 season and was head coach at Louisiana from 2018-2021.

So how was Napier snubbed when Miller chose to go to OSU instead of ASU? Just curious.
While Brady's 2-star bckup, Kyle Trask, says Hello again....Awesome info! Well then I have no doubt Brown will easily win the competition for starting QB.
Usual stupid defection attempt, instead of addressing Nappy's QB history....TLDR. I see you're no different than Lil Dickey on the sports board with copy and pastings, and those are only 4 quarterbacks who he had success with during his stops at Utah, Florida, Miss State and UF as HC. What about the others like Franks, and Emory Jones?
Continuing with the cherry picking, Anders announced his intent to transfer out 5 days ago.Good catch ocala. Shows that at least one here can still read, think, and check on bogus claims,,,
while cherry picking what they choose to address in a given post.
-----
As to Millers HS history...
So, HS stats matter sometimes, but not at other times, depending on each fan's bias. 😉
His DUI, 50%, and 3rd string status before xfer to UF notwithstanding....
Moving right along....
=====
From SI -- " The Gators likely aren’t done adding to the (QB) spot just yet. As Richardson departs for the NFL, targeting a one-year bridge quarterback from the transfer portal will be imperative for Florida to ensure competitiveness and proper development of young talent like Rashada in 2023 and beyond."
(I guess since Miller III didn't accomplish that in 2022, so they need yet another xfer QB)
=====
Because they've already wasted a year on development with Max Brown, so now the media-morons jump right past Brown to newbee Rashada.
And if they bring in yet another xfer QB in 2023, they they will further diminish the development of both Brown and Rashads....
Just the iG's OHO, but it's long past time for UF to move away from xfer QB's.
Ranking stars vs actual on the field HS stats:
Brown *** ----- Jr/Sr - 71.6%, 7.1 YPC, 101 TD's, 11 TO's (27 Gms)
Rashada **** - Jr/Sr - 60.1%, 7.2 YPC, 65 TD's, 18 TO's (24 Gms)
Lagway ***** - Jr/?? - 67.0%, 10.3 YPC, 31 TD's, 8 TO's, (8 Gms)
(and may the best QB win the starting job in 2024, gooooGATORS)
But I choose to use their Max Preps stats, and their HUDL highlights film with my own eyes,,, instead of the biased $$$ recruiting stars or the BS pumpers, just like I did with Trask...
Those that agree with the HC's choices will jump in to agree with and support him. Those that don't will run down his choices and push for their own favorites. (no one's picks are 100%)
Making everything in phootball fandom, just as it should be..... 😉
=====
2023 QB's:
Miller - Brown - Rashada - Engel - Anders.
Yet another xfer QB is not needed if you have a real QB coach.
So IF yet another xfer QB is brought in, it's because they need a QB that's already been coached up by somebody that knows what they're doing, at both recruiting and then coaching.... 😳

WoW! That's surely devastating for the program, losing the #2 WO rsSo QB at season's end.Anders announced his intent to transfer out 5 days ago.
