With another site releasing the names now I can discuss. UF is aware that once something gets released on any social media we are all forced to discuss

The Skinny on Portal Visitors - January 6th, 2023



Portal Visitors




Just a friendly reminder for the community. I will treat ANY and EVERY portal player as a secret/surprise visitor or whatever you want to call it. I will remain VERY cautious putting out any information about these guys unless they meet the requirements for talking about them publicly, which includes the following:





Florida “AND” the player gives the green light to mention they are visiting

The player announces through a social media platform he is visiting

Another site promotes/releases names – which I will be forced to acknowledge and discuss

Confirmation – The player is on the way to visit Florida OR has already arrived starting the visit





I want to give some background information on the crew in town this weekend for the Gators.
