I agree with you, he may have a chance to win something beyond an Outback Bowl, but these kids usually don’t think that way. They see the $$$$ and bolt.
2019 Roster
- Thread starter alcoholica

You never know if the kids come back and want to leave as champs. There has been alot of improvement in the last 8.75 games, even if the 4th quarter did NOT go the way we wanted last week.
There is a huge improvement in the first few games usually, during the bowl prep, and from year one to year two.
Think that game would have been different with Marco and CJ out there? UK if we played today?

Raise your hand if you thought we’d win the national title after the 05 season watching the offense sputter.

Great summary.
O-line is the biggest issue and as it goes the O goes, so Mullen should be beating the bushes for a grad transfer in my opinion. There will be a lot of potential and athleticism but lack of experience will show, especially in the first 3rd of the season or so.
I think both Scarlett and Perine have NFL talent and are gone. RB could be a problem especially with the loses at O-line. Davis might be the best option to make something out of limited holes if he can get and stay healthy, at least early while the line is building cohesiveness and identity.
This looks to be one of the weakest WR classes in a long time for the 2019 draft, and we probably have a lot of receivers who think (and are probably right) they have NFL talent, so I could see several leave banking on impressing at the combine, even if it is a bad decision. Hard to evaluate this group until we know who will be on the roster.
Did you leave out Wilson in the DB group? Looks like a solid group but Gardner's decision might be the difference between good and great.

Can't he be just like "Percy Harvey" and move up the field. Thinking back, Harvin was a 10 star.

You have blown me over with a feather to think that Leak would win a championship game. Our D was super good and Leak saved his one good game for last.

He had the potential for lots of good games if we had let him throw the ball down field in 05 and the rest of 06.
He was a really, really good and probably elite college QB. He just wasnt an option QB. Imagine if he had SOS for four years.

In ways Leak the QB reminded me of Wuerffel. He threw to a spot before WRs made their cut. His anticipation & timing were probably as good as any college QB.
Leak had to have many good games, since he set SEC freshman passing records. As Gator freshman he beat the eventual national champ LSU. As soph he set record with 6 TDs against USCe. As 2005 Jr.QB Leak took on his 3rd O scheme, 3rd O Coordinator.
In 2006 Sr. Leak, with UF rated as toughest schedule in the nation, led Florida to SEC championship and to the NC as the MVP.
Too bad he turned pervert with a H.S. girl, as a married man with 2 daughters.??

Ive heard the term nickel used for years to describe the 4-2-5 and 3-3-5.
I wondered where you were going with this. I agree that we keep the "star" on the slot and that he plays a different role than the strong safety who is usually up top but that strikes me as an assignment rather than a different defense. It is a bit like saying a 4-3 defense that runs a field and boundary corner is different than a 4-3 that just uses left and right corner.
Or that a 4-3 that uses an Adam and Buck end is different than one that just uses a left and right end.
I mean, after all, a 4-2-5 doesnt say what the 5 play. It doesnt differentiate between a 4-2-2-3 and a 4-2-3-2.
There are a alot of 4-2-5 defenses out there that are not Baylors.
forget this rabbit trail.
