McWilliams is now one of our major depth players...Awesome outlook on an already thin secondary

I don't get it, he apparently would get some playing time, and talks well of UF. That said you are a Gator or bait. I also don't get the idea that you are always a Gator when you quit for no apparent or good reason.

1/3 of the class not going to make it, and transfers on top. I was happy what Mullen did with the team last year, but this is shaping up to put us back in the hole.

Going to be very hard to compete when we don't have the depth, need to get a full roster with competent depth to be in the hunt for the NC.

Can he pull out another 10 win season?

How much does this hurt?

I would like it more if we KNEW we could improve...24/7 talks like no great loss?

Y'alls thoughts...this makes 9

After reading the article, now I get it. He is a troubled individual who does not (or can't) compete, I bet he has academic issues as well.

So competing means competing for a NC? Perhaps eventually but it will take some time, and I would be happy to be competitive with the best in the SEC.

I have a feeling he was told to move on. Could be wrong, but there's a reason he always seemed the best talent on the field at safety, yet could barely ever make it onto the field. That hints to me of off the field issues.

It hurts depth. I think he didn't play that bad in the 4 or 5 games he played in. Maybe I am forgetting something however.

I had almost forgot about him. Every time someone went down and McWilliams entered the game he was getting burned it seemed. We may really miss Edwards after all.

Hell, ten bucks McWilliams transfers, too.

The problem for McWilliams is he probably couldn't find a school to take him. The transfer portal is full right now. Same reason Trask likely never transfers (won't be able to find a landing spot).

Edwards may land somewhere, but after his arrest this spring he's damaged goods (appearance that he's transferring for disciplinary reasons). My guess is he's 1AA bound.

I've said this before...If I were a coach at say FAU, USF...or better yet a Liberty U, I'd take in all the "Misfits”.


I’d be the real Last chance U but if you screwed up…YOUR OUT.

It’s all good. He wasn’t very consistent in the first place. We’ll be fine in the secondary. We know about Hendo and Wilson, but we need guys like Huggins, Elam, and Hill to contribute now. Maybe Coach Gray can coach up McWilliams. Even he may be improved if he dedicated himself in the offseason.

I think with 4 weeks of camp Elam would be better than McWilliams.

I suspect an individual will be taking this position as a change in position.

Yes, I think most of the other skinflints in the UAA and ADs office feel the same way. Being still mathematically "in it" in October is good enough.

Im pretty sure competing for championships is no longer deemed a price they are willing to pay.

As said we are thin at CB and losing Edwards could be a significant loss. From the national portal it looks like there are 5 CB's rated above Edwards still available. Do you think we may be looking at this list for a potential replacement?
