FSU had the 12th best portal class according to Rivals and their top four transfers all laid eggs Saturday. Rivals listed the Gators portal class at number 31 with Slackman (27), Badger (69), Zandamela (72) and Grimsley (133). All were Rival 4 stars in HS.
Where it really gets interesting is the bottom half of the transfer class (all were Rivals 3 stars in HS).
Asa Turner # 180 Starting Saturday
Trikweze Bridges #182 Second team Saturday
Pup Howard # 184 co-starting Saturday
Devon Manuel # 233 Second team Saturday
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson # 441 Second team Saturday
D J Douglas # 544 Second team Saturday
Chimere Dike # 942 Starting Saturday
George Gumbs # 989 Starting Saturday
The question is: is the talent on the Gator squad so bad that they have to start players basically nobody wanted (Dike and Gumbs), or does the Napier Army know how to evaluate a player better than Rivals? My money is on Napier's Army. Saturday will provide a few answers.
