I probably missed this somewhere in this thread or another one but does anyone know when Jefferson and Grimes will find out about immediate eligibility? Surely the balls already rolling on this situation?

Enough about Driskel in this thread. If you want to start another one about him that the rest of us can ignore, go for it.

He was a constant embarrassment. If there is one thing I will always remember Driskel for, it will be for the GaSouthern game. While Morningwood was struggling, Driskel was far from the sideline shooting the shyt with the walk-ons. Meanwhile, Murphy was trying to coach up our 3rd stringer. All your little twittering has done is show that he holds LaTech in higher regard. As Law said, he's listed as LaTech for NFL purposes, that's his choice, not the NFL's.
I can't believe y'all are still arguing about this... BTW... Have you ever seen a guy who transferred list the school they transferred from??? They always list the school they last attended... And I'm no Driskel apologists... In fact, I don't give 2 sh!!ts about it... But the guy DID graduate from UF... then transferred for a fresh start... Just by reading the vitriol on this board, he made the right decision for him. The kids been gone for 3 years and venomous fans still can't leave him the fk alone... Geeze people...

Whoops... :whistle:

My bad Ox... But I'd had quite enough of it too... Was really hoping for some recruiting information... being as how that's what the thread title suggests it'd be about... :waiting: Of course, when have we ever kept on subject? :D

The first early signing day is over.

Maybe time to retire the thread?

Never mind Driskel, I'm more irritated that Pouncey introduced himself on a recent nationally televised game by saying he attended "Lakeland High School".

Just like the last 5+ years, in the end there will be attrition and we'll start the year at 80 or less. If you look around the country, there's an average number of players that leave/quit/transfer/medical hardship, etc. Then when you tack on a coaching change the numbers are ALWAYS higher.

Remember, Mullen said that the jig is up w/ the S&C program. Some of these players may have gotten used to the soft program the previous staff ran (or whatever the issue was) and may not like how they get treated (or may not like what is expected of them). There will be some washout from the current roster.

In addition, there are several of these kids who should have never been signed by an SEC school....much less a UF type school. These kids could be "advised" to seek a transfer (i.e. they'll be told they can stay, but they very likely won't see the field). Basically, they'll get Saban'd out of the program.

Bottom line, expect several more departures. I expect to open the year w/ no more than 80 true scholarship players (not counting the 4-6 or so walk-ons that get the leftover scholarships).

As I recall, Meyer had over 80 scholarship players just once in his 6 years at UF.

Attrition is hard to estimate. It always happens but often some comes after the spring.

Yes, he does claim UF:

802598eb7fff169b2daa1dc6e8d23e80.jpg


And he’s not wallowing in bitterness:





No reason to be bitter towards a kid who worked hard, did all the right things, never embarrassed the university or himself, got his degree but didn’t live up to expectations and transferred.

And he’s on an NFL roster. Apparently people who know a lot more about football than anyone on this board see his ability and potential.



Well I certainly have never been called a big Driskel fan. My only allegiance to him is as a Gator. I was the guy who always believed Jacoby Brissett should have been our starting QB. I even use to tell people when he was a freshman he would be a starting QB in the NFL which always drew laughs. Jacoby will have a 15 year career.

No...not a huge Driskel fan. But he is a Gator and he can prove it despite opinions of others. Facts are facts.

Is this still a recruiting thread?

If so

4 star DE from 2019, twitter bio claims hes working to be the #1 overall player in the country. I like that kind of confidence/drive/swagger

I’m unable to confirm or deny your point.

Do you think we get Barnes and Gouraige?

Do 3 and 5 technique DEs on a 3-5 need to be 300lbs? I think a quick 280-285 would be fine for the 3.

I really hope we can snag one or two of those 5-Star CB’s. I like Henderson & Wilson a lot but those guys roll out after 3 years. It’s critical to keep reloading elite talent in the secondary.
