I think the problem is even if that is true our defense was top 15 and yet we have to settle for backup plans. The defense is supposed to be our strength. The defense will have to rely on this class in 2017 when we're playing a bunch of RS or True freshman. My fear is by the time the offense is fixed, the defense will fail. DE is our only sure fire bright spot after 2016 on defense. That's not goo


This staff will have to KILL IT on defensive recruiting in 2017. If they don't, UF will be an average defense by that time with mostly 3 stars all over the back 7 on defense.

Dont get blinded by stars...3 stars dont mean they are inferior at all...I like lunch pail & hard hat mentality. There are tons of guys who were three stars in high school that end up drafted in the first 2 rounds of the NFL. Its the willpower and determination to succeed that can be the biggest difference in players.

Urb had a lot of hot shot types who thought they were entitled to everything and we lost to an Ole Miss team at home, an average AU at home and had the locker room in a mess. Some players didnt want to practice and thank God for Tebow or we would have been average in the 2007-2009 years trust me.

Can our coaches develop players? Thats the question. Mizzou would get rejects for DL and the next thing you know they are first round picks. Our coaches need to earn their paycheck and hustle to develop and teach the younger players.
