Remember that the class coming in will really show results in 2019-21. The transfers are huge gets and will provide immediate help.

I don't know if anyone caught the ESPN show about recruiting that had Gene Chizik adding comments...but he stated that he watched a lot of UF last year and he was very impressed with our defense. I concur.

Some of you just don't realize the talent on the defensive side that will suit up this year. DL: CeCe Jefferson, Khairi Clark (he is a stud in the middle after really playing a lot in 2017), Jachai Polite, Jabari Zuniga, Jordan Smith, Justus Reed, Luke Ancrum, Kelvonnis Davis to go along with two true sophs who got their feet wet> Kryee Campbell & Elijah Conliffe two big wide bodies. We had a lot of injuries up front.

LBs: Reese is a stud in the middle now that he has two yrs under his belt, Jerermiah Moon now has snap experience plus a r/s season, Vossean Joseph has two yrs under his belt like Reese, they were forced into service middle of the year in 2016 when we suffered a lot of injuries, Kylan Johnson who was injured a lot of 2017, we also get Ventrell back along with Houston.

The secondary is loaded folks...we have players who can be safeties for us...fear not. They were almost all young last year and the snap experience will pay off.

Get the special teams back on track and get the offense to produce. Offense has been a problem since 2009 and with just 5% more production the past eight years we could have had much better years.

It will be revealing how the offense plays in the spring and I wouldn't count Franks out just yet. He had a horrible year in 2017 and wasn't ready. Rumor has it that he has been working out in the weight room a lot and that's a positive sign. Add bulk, spend time with coaching staff and keep everything simple and most importantly...break bad habits.

Couple things reel

-Justus Reed transferred, Jordan Smith transferred

-Kelvonnis Davis was in a serious scooter crash and nearly died, probably never playing football again

-Khairi Clark has sucked. He can’t move at all.

This is what we really, really, really need. Guys like Copeland, Watkins, Grimes and Van Jefferson. Playmakers, who can give us that extra 5% when things aren't working.

What I like is that Mullen isn't afraid to get creative to get them the ball -- we saw it with Harvin.

Now, if Toney goes down, we have legitimate threats all over the field that we can lean on if need be -- oh, and an HC/OC who might actually be willing to do some otherwise unorthodox playcalling. The lack of jet-sweeps, trick plays and especially rollouts were completely inexcusable by the second game of the season when the base offense was clearly not going to work.
