Recruiting 2024 Transfer Portal Thread: USC offensive lineman Jason Zandamela headed to UF

[Egor's Assistant]

Billy was supposedly building us a roster that would at the very least stock the cupboards for the next guy. It's clear that he is no where near doing that any better than the last guy did, other than bringing in DJ Lagway, his QB ringer. The fate of both Billy-Bob Taggert and Stricknine is in the hands of a teenager from Texas, a hilarious setup for 2024. DJ's gonna have to recruit his own OLinesmen on top of calling all his own plays. His pair of Idiot OL coaches didn't go out and get DJ any decent Hogs to block for him. So expect a transfer soon after his 2nd year. Pathetic. We may be headed towards civil unrest and election apocalypse anyhow. So with any luck, the season will be cancelled.

With recruiting changes and the portal, this does not matter anymore.

I'm expecting at least ten wins next year, especially if this take upsets a bunch of people on this board. If it triggers you, please speak up. I get a lot of satisfaction out of it.

Go ahead and start hating the next coach. Saves time.

Not sure if you were being serious or not, but you have been steadfast in that Recruiting was the most important thing by a long shot.

Was is the operatve word. Now it's how much of a bribe you can offer.

You can disagree all you want but even though they were starters they werent going to be next season. Both of them would be getting pushed to the bench by younger players if they stayed and neither are going pro even though that was what they wanted to do.

To which players are you referring- out transfers? We always tell one another that new, better talent is on the way, then they don't pan out and we start the cycle of optimism once again. Many of the players we lost were Simple hand-picks, some that played a lot. Why would we believe he gets it right this time?

OL and LBs that departed when Napier arrived, and apparently failed to recruit to stay would have been valuable. We don't even know if Napier made contact with those guys when he took over.

I can't believe we lost McClellan. I know, "he was no good", Few of our players are, I guess.

We are left at this point hoping they get it right and next fall is a pleasant surprise. Excuse me if I appear not to trust Napier and his evaluation apparatus.

Proves Scooby couldn't care less about the Gators. Fuch him.

I have no idea if he is decent, great, terrible. But at some point, these players have to look out for themselves. Are they all leaving because our deep roster tells them they will soon be out of a job? I wish.

 

[Silverback Gator]

This is swamp gas talk

No doubt.

 

[TXgators]

How much is the team GPA improved by getting rid of Scooby?

 

[G8trwood]

Portal closes soon. Blue light special time

 

[Homer J]

Glad you were back for a while. Many missed you here. We'll need your cynicism and wit for the next firing cycle. The circle of life continues.

I was waiting for “I wasn’t one of them”.

 

[neteng]

Losing Scooby isnt that big of a deal. Just like losing Hill or Maz isnt a big deal. The big deal is that we are NOT aggresive in the portal upgrading the obvious weaknesses at those positions where the meh talent is transferring out.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

You just need some pussy.

I like the diagnosis.

 

[Egor's Assistant]

I was waiting for “I wasn’t one of them”.

It's implied.

Now that it's 2024 and our Ass is back, perhaps the Gators will wake the fuch up.

Great Awakening or Great Reset? Make your pick.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

I'm expecting at least ten wins over the next 3 years

FIFY

 

[t-gator]

Losing scoobys not that big of a loss. Kind of a head scratcher. But I can definitely see graham getting a good bit of his snaps this year regardless.

 

[MooseSmack]

What the Mother Clucker is going on? Why are starters leaving the Gators? We don't pay $$$ to the players like other teams? Not even starting players believe in what Billy is selling? If he's losing star player after starting player, why even keep Billy on staff? Holy crap. Sasse better be readying the hook on Stricknine and Billy sooner rather than later. Other teams just poaching away our best kids with cash offers and negative recruiting.

We have no one to blame but ourselves for allowing the negativity to get so out-of-hand. Come on guys, chin up, at least we're not Noles. /s

The Rats are abandoning ship. You know when the rats leave she’s going down.

 

[MooseSmack]

At the rate players are leaving the rest are going to have to play both ways to field a team.

 

[GBHOR]

We'll be fielding a JV team filled with PWO's. Sweet Streudel indeed.

But that Graduation rate

Looking out for onesself is the very definition of untrustworthy. Mission first, Mates second, self last.
