Grantham gotta go. I gotta kick out of this tweet by Saturday Down South@SDS

"Grantham going with the Ol “nobody guard Devonta Smith” approach. #SECChampionship

My thoughts exactly. Dude was running free all night, woulda had even more insane stats had Harris not.....had insane success and stats.

Grantham has to go

 

[Gatormac2112]

Leaves, gets rona, quits the team, transfers, I don't give a schit, I just never want to see his ass in a Gator uni again

Which is exactly why he will return.

 

[soflagator]

I will cut you.

Stewart probably gets drafted late. actually has some good game film. a lot of teams are going to think he's a talented player with horrific coaching in a horrific scheme.

Stewart should also be in the “fire RonnEnglish”(when he wakes up) argument. Look at his Ints against the vols and of course Lsu in 2018. He should’ve been a beast by now, but instead has become worse with more contact with RE.

 

[Gatormac2112]

I don't think he's even played football in 3 years.

So he'll fit right into our D

 

[Gatormac2112]

Why do people say this like it's a problem?

I don't think its a problem, I think its a mistake for Trask. Next year won't go as well for this team, primarily due to D, but also due to losing Pitts and Toney. Trask should leave now while he's a hot commodity.

 

[alcoholica]

I do. He's going to grade out really well. He was very solid this year easily our best defensive lineman, probably grading better than Slaton. I know some of you only look at sacks but that's not the way the scouts work. they will look at least as much at run defense.

Of course if he returns he he helps a bunch but will unfortunately probably get pushed inside again.

except that half the year he was getting pushed around at DT, because well you know why

Simply stating facts. Didnt say good or bad.

I’ll be real curious to see where Diwun Black fits in next years rotation. A better way to put that may be how this staff misuses his talent...

he's going to be a lot like Dean and Burney, a heavy safety or outside linebacker which we really don't have a position for in this defense.

he will be a starter somewhere. Not sure where though.

I don't think he's even played football in 3 years.

Because he was a commit years ago and such a positive Gators tweeter, Black’s talent has been hyper inflated on here. He doesn’t have much JC tape (at least that I’ve found), but what is out there is fine but far from fantastic. This might be one where it won’t be the coaches ruining him. He is a tweener in most systems (except for maybe the Miami-style Star).

 

[beteez]

I have a feeling Cox will bolt.

 

[Loogis]

What do you expect? Lots of holes to fill:

SDE Princely/Lang
NT Humphries /Lee /Goods
DT Dexter, FR
WDE/RUSH Cox Chatfield Bogle Reese Summerall, Powell
ILB Diabate Burney Hopper
ILB Miller Houston Wingo
Nickel Corner/Star Elam
LCB Hill
FS Torrence
SS Dean, Trevez Johnson/McDaniels/Rogers
RCB Kimbrough Helm/Wilcoxen/


Not many snaps up there on the front line, at all. Honestly, some of the DBs I don't even remember.

You think Miller and Houston come back?

 

[soflagator]

I have a feeling Cox will bolt.

Portal or NFL. The first may make some sense, but the second is silly. I was telling someone last night, he desperately needs to develop a second move. If he does, he’ll have a great season and make some money from there. But he seems to do the same upfield speed/overrun pocket slightly/almost get there move every play. If he ever goes inside, I’m not sure the OT will even touch him it will be so unexpected.

Is Elam transferring? What did I miss? I thought he was only a sophomore?

to where?

I have a feeling Cox will bolt.

Why? Is he headed to the CFL? He is an SEC starter but not a star. He has not shown anything that made him a 5* player.

he isn't eligible to go to the NFL until next year.

arena ball? I don't know.

edit: I forgot he played a year at Ugly.

Go early, who cares. He is a mediocre rush enf who is horrid at setting the edge and defending run. Late draft pick at best unless he destroys the combine.

actually don't think he's alignment at all and we'll have to move back to outside linebacker for the NFL.

losing him means nothing. it's the only position we've recruited the last four years and there would be less dwag shtt smell in the locker room.

He's a 3rd year player = one year at UGA, sat out a year and played this year

 

[BMF]

Here's my guess:

SDE Lang, Princely, Powell
NT Dunlap, Lee (Humphries if he returns), Watson
DT Dexter, Transfer, Thomas (Goods if he returns)
WDE/Buck Cox, Chatfield, Bogle
ILB Diabate, Burney, Hopper
ILB Houston, Wingo, Freshman
Star/Nickel Travez
CB Elam, Marshall/Kimbrough
FS Torrence, Collier, Wilcoxsin
SS Dean, Torrance, McDaniels
CB Kimbrough, Helm/Rogers

EDIT: add Sapp & Boone to the DL rotation....and Miller, if he returns.

Miller isn't gone.

and his draft report will be under drafted free agent. he's not going anywhere.

I hope he comes back...but I'm also hoping to see Wingo and Hopper more (along w/ Diabate).
