Hope Perine stays. A Perine and Peirce backfield is just as stout as anyone else in the SEC.
Agreed. A backfield of Perine, Pierce, and Davis reminds me a little of Csonka, Kiick, and Morris.

Scarlett got himself in a career-harming squeeze = his cc outtime robbed him of a year's development & demonstration and the teammates coming back will be starring too. Scarlett would share the glare.

This kid runs as hard as anyone I've seen at UF, and he's fast. He'll find work.

Might want to stay one more year. Anybody notice in his signature he misspelled #ScarlettFEAVER instead of FEVER.

We'll see what happens at the combine, but Vosean stands a good chance of not getting drafted at all. Whoever does is going to view him as a project. I agree with the above posters who noted he needed another year. If for nothing else to put on weight. Light, short, LBs who can't cover are rarely found on NFL rosters. I will give him his props for some great and memorable plays over the years. My personal favorite was his slamming Danny Etling out at the one yard line in the 2016 game. For those of you who don't remember, LSU didn't score on that drive and on the ensuing possession Appleby hit Cleveland for a long TD.

If you are like me and also never tire of seeing it:

I wish him luck. It looks like most of the guys who "declared" early might have a shot at making a roster somewhere. But many times I'm baffled by some of the delusional thinking of certain players when they decide to leave early for the NFL or NBA when they most definitely need to percolate in college for another year or two.

I think of this when I read some marginal player tweeting about how he's declaring so he can make the big bucks.




There really should a rule that allows players who don't get drafted to return to college provided they didn't take any agent money, etc..

Been trying to get an idea of where he is projected. A few have in going in rounds 2-4. Most others put him around 6-7 in their ILB rankings. In past drafts, that means he'd go in rounds 5-7.

I'll honestly be surprised if Joseph goes earlier than the 6th. He'll get drafted due to potential and a few big plays, but he's not close to ready.

Really like this kid and the way he resurrected his career. Really proud of him.

We’ll know we are truly back when we got talent coming and going on a regular basis.

As it is we will be loaded in the backfield again next year. This is exciting.
