I'm really curious to see the updated roster. Ole Miss just put out their 2018 media guide w/ an updated roster and line-up. Anyone know when our media guide is coming out? The current roster still has last year's weights for the returning players (The first weight I see that I know it hasn't been updated is Marco Wilson, still listed at 177).

He is well over 200 in those pics I'd guess.

It's the skinny calves that is throwing you off maybe.

In another thread, donk said none of our guys going to media days could’ve made the team in 08. I don’t agree. Ivey and Jefferson would’ve and might’ve been starters if they had been developed like those guys. Reese is questionable but my guess is he would’ve been a pretty good sp vial teams player.

You think Creyer would tolerate Ivie's windmilling? I dont.

CeCe is tougher, I agree. But Creyer demanded ends that set the edge on defense. The pass rush only types sat on the bench til third and long.

I do agree that Creyer probably would have developed them more, but that is still conjecture. As they are today, none would play.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The SEC Media Days have become really boring since Spurrier left. Saban will get up there and act like a prick as usual, and the rest of the dudes will try their best to string two words together.

Play or start? Both would make the rotation/two deep as is today. I don’t think either starts but Cece might make a push. Add in development for both and they each would have a shot at starting as they possess the measureables most teams desire (fully agree that it’s conjecture but I think it’s a pretty safe bet compared to the “coaching” they received from Butters).

Dan Mullen notebook from SEC Media Days

https://www.gatorcountry.com/feature/dan-mullen-notebook-from-sec-media-days/



  • Mullen says he didn’t have to recruit Martez Ivey and CeCe Jefferson much to come back to school but that he made sure to tell them he wanted them back. Mullen said that they needed to be all in on whatever decision they made.
  • The players have had minimal resistance when buying into the program and discipline. That’s one of things that Mullen pointed to when talking about the culture change.
  • When asked about the quarterbacks, Mullen says they seem to be working hard but they can’t be with them this summer while they’re throwing due to NCAA rules.
  • Whoever gives Florida the best opportunity to win football games.
  • Mullen calls it’s rough duty that Florida has been ranked in the 100’s the last 7-8 years on offense. But does point to the fact that Florida was in the SEC Championship game twice. He says you have to win football games.
  • When asked if quarterbacks will get hit any this fall, Mullen says they will get hit a couple times. He says he has to make sure they’re tough.
  • Mullen says this team is capable of being a contender year one. He says that’s what he’s at Florida to do is to win championships.
  • Fitting an offense around the quarterback is what Mullen says is key to making a good quarterback. Mullen says developing those guys and their traits around the offense is important.
  • Nothing new on the status of the transfers but Mullen says they hope to announce in the near future. He calls it a “process.”
  • Building stability is something that Mullen says will have make things fun again. He says players come to Florida knowing the tradition and guys were shell shocked over the last few years.
  • Mullen says he would love to name a starting quarterback today but that he has to see who separates themselves this fall.
  • There’s a 50/50 chance that you could see two quarterbacks in game one according to Mullen as he says right now there’s three guys coming out of the spring.
  • Mullen says he wouldn’t call the Florida brand damaged but he says it hasn’t been updated. He says in today’s world the brand is always changing.
