Spring Practice thread: Report: OT Noah Banks has been cleared to play

[SeabeeGator]

Welp

Wrong kind of transfer watch! Need guys transferring who are not producing but taking up a scholarship and grad transfers at critical spots looking for a new home.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Opens up another spot for a WDE bruh

No indications this spring he was anywhere close to playing time, but a blow to already iffy future #Gators interi

Dismantling aln't building a team.

Defensive line is going to be an absolute train wreck in 2020. Well be good next year. After that, were gonna have walk ons and freshmen on the field. And as much as I like the job Mullen has done here, this is his fault.

 

[5-Star Finger]

You can't sit with us, Donk.

Welp

This is ridiculous. Even if he's a bust, he's only a redshirt freshman. WTF? Like Law said, we only signed TWO in the last TWO years. They better get their sh*t together on the recruiting front/transfer market or we're f*cked. They need to shop the JUCO ranks and regular transfer market for some bodies. Talk about dire straits. The DL is going to look worse than this year's OL (depth wise) after this season. Hell, I'd take another Ancrum at this point....

 

[G8trwood]

Any talk as to why

Portal!

Portal!

Huh?

With Zipperer signed and two TE's/HB's committed...and likely adding a third in the Odom kid, it's time to move Dante Lang to SDE. He's listed at 6'5 253lbs last season, gotta imagine he's close to 260 now and could get up to 270+ by 2020. Here's his bio on the UF page:

Dante Lang - Football - Florida Gators


2018: Earned a redshirt as he appeared in just two games (Charleston Southern, Idaho) as a reserve tight end and special team’s contributor.

PRIOR TO FLORIDA:

Started his high school career primarily playing defensive end before switching to tight end for his senior season... Compiled 70 tackles and 20 sacks during his junior season in 2016... Played for Coach Eric Davis... Chose Florida over Georgia, LSU, Virginia Tech, Arkansas and Kentucky.

He was supposed to be our inline TE.

Huh?

The transfer portal and grad transfers make recruiting shortcomings easier to fix. It's a whole new ball game now, some with 2 years to play....see OT Reese hopefully from MSU who will have 2 years to play if he graduates this month as expected.

 

[BMF]

Well, he's currently in-line on the end of the bench. Might as well move him over, especially considering the absolute recruiting failures by this coaching staff at DT/SDE.

I wouldn't even call em failures. They haven't really tried.

Most of these guys still have to sitout a year. This isnt as easy as you think. Not to mention that most of the time others people reject's arent good enough to play in the SEC.

GT's are immediately eligible.....and just watch Reese impact our OLine.....have you even looked at the portal?

Langham has a right to transfer whether it was our idea or his. We have no right to know the details and that is as it should be.

Good luck to him, we will survive.

I did not say it was easy, however the portal makes it easier. Greenard for example.

I'm sure there are other portal possibilities out there....why do you think Antonneus Clayton chose to go to Georgia Tech? The portal cuts both ways.
