Talent level for next year: Grade it

Gatorbait25 · Dec 25, 2021

I’m excited about our secondary with Raymond and PT coaching our guys. For the first time in many years both safety and corner will have quality coaches and lights out recruiters . Obviously we need to see what the rest of the D staff looks like but the back end is under great hands . Don’t forget we will also have J Hill and Kamar back that weren’t available this season .

DL and OL will need about 5-6 new additions from the portal of guys that have played CFB with at least some level of success . I could see one of each position added on the DL. Then one guard and a RT. I think we would be okay with Tarquin. Braun on the other hand looks like a rotation guy to me . Not a 50+ snap player on the line .

Insiders on TOS are saying that we only practiced 5 times for this game. The elite teams practice 10-15 times for theirs.

coaches were drunk during the nights in the hotel lobby and players partied all week and were smoking weed.

supposedly there was a fight in the locker room after the game.

Napier watched but did not interfere.

10 plus kids may be pushed out.

There is talent on the team. Coaching is abysmal.

None of it a single surprise. I don’t blame the players, I blame the coaches.

I’d love to know who was fighting.

@GrahamHall_: #Gators WR Justin Shorter indicates he will return to Florida in 2022.

Can EJ actually throw harder than he does? He reminds me of an infielder lobbing a ground ball to first for the third out because he knows he has plenty of time.

He needs time to "admire" his throw.

This is what concerns me more than any other area....Skill position players are naturals assuming RB's get the proper amount of touches and WR's actually get passes thrown their way...in other words we either have some current guys or will recruit them....But our LOS play has been hot garbage since 2018 on the offensive side of the ball....I mean utter dogsh!t for the most part...DL has some promise but needs a few more bodies and a animal that commands double teams every play he's on the field(Bullard, Floyd, Easley, Brantley type talent).

Ok you guys have convinced me we might actually be a C- as a whole since it's Christmas. I still think 7 wins sounds most likely due to new system being put in place and a lot of question marks in the meat of the sandwich)OL, DL, LB) situation.....If and this is a big if, we hit the portal hard in those positions and BN can coach 8 would be a stellar effort.

We're going to have that and some once we can keep Dexter and Watson on the field at the same time. I think big Des just needs to shed a bit more weight and get his conditioning better and we'll be in business.

I said yesterday he is one who I think will flourish next year under a new staff. Seems like a tremendous kid, from a solid family. He didn’t fit the culture we developed. You also saw some breakaway speed and separation at times this year even if we didn’t complete the pass. He is not the guy to take a curl route and take it to the house, and that’s what he was expected to be. His demeanor through the last part of the season has made him one of my favorites.

Probably have top 40 talent or better. Completely undisciplined, so really no telling how much talent is there.

As Neal Anderson said, you can really out scheme better talent, so long as it’s not worlds apart. We also got outschemed a lot.

I don't think it's entirely a lack of talent or mediocre talent - it's more about a lack of discipline, bad defensive scheme and a QB that couldn't find the grand canyon if he fell into it. We also lack speed at wide receiver. I think Napier will get the discipline and defense fixed up and hopefully, AR can stay healthy long enough to be the QB we think he is.

@onlygators: Responding to rumors, Florida #Gators LB Diwun Black confirms via Twitter that he is not transferring and will be on campus in January.

that’s because insider on TOS meant to type Diabate’s name and typed Diwun instead. He edited it but it spread like wildfire.
