Trey Dean won the defensive MVP of the Shrine Bowl.


I think Dean's Mom wrote this...
As for the game's defensive MVP, the ball finds Dean everywhere he goes. The Florida safety showed in the game how he can aggressively attack the line of scrimmage in run support, play in the slot or second level of the defense, and be a ball magnet as a deep safety. Dean's versatility, play demeanor, and ability to find the football scream Patriots safety, and it helps that he balled out on their squad.

Every year it's the same story. Guys who we're told suck here and make our genius coaches look bad magically do better under NFL coaches. Sooner or later some of you will start putting 2 and 2 together.

Yeah, it adds up to most of these experts can't evaluate talent... Not sayin' I can...

God almighty preach it please. So sick of this trend. We've hired garbage coach after garbage coach and act surprised when the blue chip players don't play well.

Give us the supposedly long list of players you are babbling about. Be specific. Omit nothing.

Are you honestly trying to tell us that Trey Dean is going to kill it in the NFL? Please tell me you are going on record with that one.

99% of the players who sucked at UF (under any coach, including SOS) either never made the NFL at all or sucked in the NFL and were benched or cut quickly.

im telling you we've had a coaching problem for years, and bad coaching wastes player talent. please tell me how you disagree with that.

I think our coaching has been great for decades. Not a single bad apple.

Let's just say if you and IHNF were trying to make a point, you picked the wrong guy to make it with. Assuming Dean even makes an NFL roster (which I doubt), he'll be flushed out of the league quickly.

He did say they evaluated 24 guys. He said Paul Chryst lauded Mertz’s work ethic. He noted his physical tools and ability. He didn’t say Mertz was their top target, but he obviously met their evaluation standards. There are no sure bets among the QB transfers.

I’m hopeful that Billy can coach & scheme Mertz into better decisions, and our WRs can be better targets than what he has known.

Curious who may get added at QB in May. Wonder how Max Brown is progressing.
Napier was looking at him while he was a recruit. The one thing he hit on in his presser is that he's been a starter for 3 years, albeit in a shyt system with 3 OC's at Wisky. With what Napier is assembling on the OL and the WR group that is coming in to supplement what we have, this kid just needs to do what he's told. If he can manage things, then it will be fine until Lagway arrives.

I would bet Ole Piss will have a QB come out of that room after the Spring. I think at this point he'll just grab a capable backup. It seems as if everything is all in on Lagway.

Even Donkey emailed me to weigh in on this one:

"LOLOL, finally Trey Dean found a playbook he can handle, 4-3 zone or 4-3 man, no blitz, no scrapes, no line games, no nuthin.

Trey Dean doesn't make it past the first cuts if some team is dumb enough to draft him.

If he does last it will be due to injuries and possibly a ST role.

There were some dumbass people thinking Stiner and Taylor were a great safety combo too."

And we all know what a great evaluator of talent the Donkey was. Tell him Trask is still banging his wife the next time you talk to him :lol:
