Recruiting Transfer Portal: Jordan Hermann enters Portal

[Joegator96]

This was the kid that I've talked about us potentially picking up. I only watched one LA game this year against GState, and he stood out to me as someone who probably should've been at a bigger school. I would have no problem with the pickup. Still think we need an incoming HS RB, but he'd be a nice addition as well.

Also agree on Bowman and Lingard. Really hoping they take advantage of Wright being out for at least a portion of the Spring to establish themselves. Once he's healthy, that would be a nice trio going into the season.

I'm an old Dreadnaught and got to enjoy Bowman's time there. He was the best HS back I have seen in the form of E. Smith. Full speed in three steps, great at allowing blockers to do their work for him, only need a crack to explode through. decent blocker but seldom did that at LHS. Didn't really use him much in the passing game but didn't need much of one. Hope his spirit hasn't been crushed by the previous crew.

Bet Spurrier becomes a closer fan.? 'cause they'll be playing the way he understands, under a coach he can root for.

It will be interesting to see how Coach Billy addresses SOS? If it were me...I'd try to get close to "the Ball Coach"...There still is a lot of "wisdom" there.

I'd be okay with this kid over Citizen (but we do need one HS RB in this class badly). The ULL kid will be a sophomore so he's still got plenty of eligibility. We only have 3 RBs on the roster right now, and one is injured. This spring will be big for Bowman & Lingard.

I was already counting Etienne in the class but was hoping Citizen is in as well but Montrell Johnson would be fine with me and I think it addresses our depth at RB for 2022.

Your bonafides as a very old fart are obviously in excellent order.

@mzenitz: Keep an eye on Utah as a potential landing spot for ex-Florida linebacker Mohamoud Diabate, sources tell @on3sports.

Ranked second on Florida with 89 tackles this season.

Oh, I thought he just sounded like a whiny bitçh. Thanks for clearing that up.

We know, we know. Anyone that doesnt tickle the balls, stroke the shaft, and swallow the gravy of the current coach is just a whiny btch. Your position has been made very clear. Carry on.

This is going to cause a meltdown for the ULL fans:

Winner!

This is our fallback from the Louisiana 4* that we think we have a shot with.

This dude sings “this is how we do it” in 1995 and now plays college ball? Montrell Johnson is a renaissance man!!

QB shuffle 'til he gets decked by an SEC LB.

Jones is attending meetings, so he may not be gone. Not sure that I'd jump to that conclusion, but others are.

How can Jones avoid being a locker room cancer, bench relating to his friends.?

Jones is attending meetings, so he may not be gone. Not sure that I'd jump to that conclusion, but others are.

Jones staying or going will influenced by what the new staff is saying to him. Additionally, many players may think of leaving now, but stay around until spring to see how they fit into the style of the new staff. Every off season players split when they are not happy with where they stand on the depth chart after spring practice. In a coaching change year, more players bolt after spring. This will be magnified by the new transfer rules.

You only get one free non-graduate transfer. Jones is being smart if he is being careful about if or when he uses this one time transfer and where he goes in terms of potential playing time, if he goes.

Remember this guy?

Went through spring practice 7 years ago and finished his career tonight against LSU.

I don't see Emory helping his future by remaining as a Gator QB. He should choose a new school with his type of offense. Even then, he will have to make significant self-improvements in both his QB IQ and his field vision, Mostly he needs to transfer to a to a conference that doesn't much believe in pass defense. As he now is, Emory just derails offensive schemes. It's more important that UF moves on by EJ being gone.
