We lost more important defensive players after BN came on. ETN will sting just as bad....if he enters the portal tomorrow.
Why would he do that????We lost more important defensive players after BN came on. ETN will sting just as bad....if he enters the portal tomorrow.
I wouldn't want him to leave without you at least knowing who he is....Who? 😂
I hate to tell you but I'm not a Billy sunshine pumper. UF is stacked at tight end, and a 6 foot 3 tight end was a 3 star prospect out of H/S. Sometimes players just don't work out, and sometimes we never know why. I am upset about the rumors about ETN.I wouldn't want him to leave without you at least knowing who he is....
TE/DE/LB Andrew Savaiinaea 6-3 270 rsFr
High School
Led high school to a perfect 15-0 record and 4A State Championship this year...
Tallied 18 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries and a pass breakup his senior year...
Caught 24 passes for 317 yards and 9 TD's in 2021...
Two-way player that saw action at DE/LB and TE this past season...
Ranked a top 10 player in the state of Washington according to 247Sports Composite...
Signed with Florida as a TE, over Oregon, Oregon St, Washington St, California, Virginia, Kentucky, UCLA and Nebraska, among others.
2022: Did not see game action in the 2022 6-7 loser season and redshirted.
2023: Made no appearance during the 2023 5-7 loser season.
With such a fantastic 2 years of cumulative coaching development, it looks like he finally woke up to the realities and opted outta here.... 😏
I wouldn't have hated a couple of screen passes either. But after the pass they would have had to block, so probably wouldn't have worked anyway. When did we hire Rick Trickett again?Max Brown can't be 100% written off on his only start where it seemed like after we went up 12-0 FSU literally had a defender running without being slowed down to the QB on most passing plays. I could be wrong but would be willing to review the plays if someone thinks another game was worse with that - a defender not hardly being slowed at all by our line and RBs. I still don't understand why Billy didn't roll him out on all those plays when it became clear that was the case. He should have had more run options also.
Having said that my gut feeling is Max Brown doesn't have any "it" factor and will not become a good quality SEC level QB. I know he might start 2024 as the backup but if he wants to play he might be better off going to a group of 5 school.
Good grief that guy was an idiot. The frozen line for 5 seconds after the snap. 😂I wouldn't have hated a couple of screen passes either. But after the pass they would have had to block, so probably wouldn't have worked anyway. When did we hire Rick Trickett again?T
A backup on a 5-7 team, not the end of the world. I wish him well.Starting to get serious now.
Gators DL Chris McClellan to enter NCAA transfer portal
The sophomore appeared in all 12 games in 2023247sports.com
Just like Caleb Douglas and his 14 receptions in two seasons.A backup on a 5-7 team, not the end of the world. I wish him well.
He was too slow as a safety so the staff supposedly suggested he move to LB. That may have not sat well for him.Don't be surprised if Wilson isn't a starter wherever he goes. Don't know what happened at UF, but he was a big time recruit who either didn't put in the work or wasn't as good as advertised. Time will tell.
Kamari Wilson officially enters NCAA transfer portal
Wilson was the No. 9-ranked safety in the class of 2022 by 247Sports247sports.com
Maybe Day is in trouble for losing three straight to Michigan?See how many kids from Ohio State that entered the portal? Crazy number.

No one on that list contributed to the team this year so Billy Ball Sack probably gave them the walking papersGAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida rsFr OL Jalen Farmer intends to enter the NCAA transfer portal after spending two seasons with the Gators, he announced on Monday.
Farmer is the 13th member of Florida's 2023 roster with known plans to transfer this offseason.
He joins DB Jadarrius Perkins, OT Jordan Herman, TE Jonathan Odom, K Adam Mihalek, DB Kamari Wilson, DL Will Norman, QB-dt Max Brown, WR Caleb Douglas, WR Thai Chiaokhiao-Bowman, DL Keenan Landry, TE Andrew Savaiinaea and DL Chris McClellan as players to announce their intentions to enter the transfer portal.

Due to the solid coaching they've received, and then their usage in the games I'm guessing?No one on that list contributed to the team this year so Billy Ball Sack probably gave them the walking papers
What's happening here is the same thing that's happening everywhere. So far no real damage to the Gators. We shall see how the next few days play out. Since you don't GAS I will continue to post just in case there are others interested.Attempted distraction away from what's happening here?
BTW, being a Gator fan, I don't GAS what happens at tOSU anyway, good or bad...
I think the biggest loss so far is Chris McClellan. He plays a position of need and was in the D-Line rotation. Played in every game and was a contributor with a lot of potential. Just because the guys leaving didn't contribute this year doesn't mean they aren't good players. Maybe they weren't being coached-up or developed properly. The portal is reality now and this is happening at every school and I think it's important to keep up with who's leaving and who's coming in. Keep it up, my man.What's happening here is the same thing that's happening everywhere. So far no real damage to the Gators. We shall see how the next few days play out.

I would agree that he and Douglas are the two biggest hits. However, our Dline was soft and candidly almost as bad as the Oline. You are right, could be coaching or maybe they just weren't talented, who knows. Technically we could bring 21 starters back. Of those 21 there are probably only 12-15 that are critical, or in other words sec caliber. We kept Mertz which is important to have an experienced starter back who put up very solid numbers behind a patchwork line, I do hope we can keep ETN. He is a game changing type of running backI think the biggest loss so far is Chris McClellan. He plays a position of need and was in the D-Line rotation.

It’s a reflection of our society now. “Everything is easier/better somewhere else, somebody else has it better than me.” Nothing is ever good enough or worth fighting for. No commitment, no loyalty, no desire to fight through difficulty.Probably just a reflection of today's college football landscape.
Good point.It’s a reflection of our society now. “Everything is easier/better somewhere else, somebody else has it better than me.” Nothing is ever good enough or worth fighting for. No commitment, no loyalty, no desire to fight through difficulty.
Rare exceptions, and those are normally the most successful ones.

Don't know if true, but I read somewhere Ohio State has about 20 players hitting the portal.

The only problem I see with pOSU is their dumbass fans want to replace Ryan Day, who led them to three CFP appearances. If their wish is granted, Day would be welcome to Gainesville after they fire Napier. He also served as a grad assistant at UF in 2005.And it is also about teams having to “keep up with the Jones’.”
In today’s climate, if you are not updating your roster each year, you are falling behind.
Loyalty goes both ways, and teams are now also willing to sh!t can a hard working dedicated kid who might not be projected better than some perceived portal prize.
Ohio State likely feels forced to make aggressive moves because the fan base needs to see them upgrading.
sadgator is certain that there are a great many kids who have been told, “you need to hit the portal son, because we won’t have space for you next year.”
I would probably take Day over CBN, but Day is living off the program Urb. built.The only problem I see with pOSU is their dumbass fans want to replace Ryan Day, who led them to three CFP appearances.

He's the only Dlineman I did not want to lose. He took some plays off, but he was our best. First big hit.Princely Umanmielen to enter NCAA transfer portal
Umanmielen was selected to the AP All-SEC team247sports.com
I read on another site that our roster is about to get raided big time. Hope that's not true.He's the only Dlineman I did not want to lose. He took some plays off, but he was our best. First big hit.

Unlike UF where the Gator fan's are all happy and the players are making great progress in their football careers..... 😉Ohio State likely feels forced to make aggressive moves because the fan base needs to see them upgrading.
