Not saying Billy is Dan but let's not forget about Jones and Copeland being in the portal last year and still STARTING!
Different situation. Jones stayed with the team until early spring practice then entered portal. Copeland was playing for an audition I suspect. I doubt BN will let these guys who are in the portal in the building.

Not sure if you are aware, but when a team travels in the SEC, they can bring a max of 70 players, dressed. The home teams usually dress close to 100.
Yes well aware. It looked as if UF didn't have near that.

Don’t tell ox , he’ll accuse you of being negative and not properly contributing to the Board
No, just you. For every point we beat Oregon State by, you get 3 days off. If we lose to Oregon State, you'll still get a month off for irritating me.

Here's the thing! With NIL and the portal I'm not really sure there is ever going to be a "build it back" scenario, anywhere. I'm afraid what we are seeing is absolute free agency in college football with 50% turnover every season. It's a madhouse!
You may be right and it sucks

Did the poster portal open today, too? Anxiously awaiting names.

Im excited to get rid of all the dead weight. I mean, all these guys leaving are hot garbage. Its why we're 6-6 and playing a December 17th bowl game. Finish out strong in recruiting and the portal and we will IMPROVE next year with younger players.

It is a madhouse. What to do about it? Whether mixed with NIL deals or straight up, will we start seeing contracts that restore some stability for players and programs?

The other hedge is to build a culture where players want to be and thrive. That’s Billy’s plan, I hope he does it.

Yes the numbers are high for those being shown the door, but many of us have known for years that there is so much dead wood on this team than we ever knew. You would expect for a program like UF (or the way it should be) that a backup player would have the quality to start or at least see significant playing time in a system, period. Most of these guys you'd never knew existed unless you had a roster. It's flat out these players are not the quality of player that we need. And those that could sniff playing time flat out are no where comparable to the SEC. So watch these guys in the portal. See where they land and how much PT they get.

I have no problem with the mass exodus going on. Anything left with the stench of Mullen and Grantham must be dooshed from the program. I hate losing just as much as anyone else, but if it takes another season to rid us of the last 12 years, I can go one more to have it happen. A large majority of this board have been saying for years how much damage has been done. It is not going to happen oh so fast and yes, some need to be shown the door sooner rather than riding it out.
