Portal

Bogle isn't gone gone. Some of the thinking is that he's kicking the tires a bit about what other options he may have should things not look to be improving. Apparently, the former regime left a bad taste in his mouth.

Sorry, I’ve been on the road all day. Just trying to share info from other boards. These aren’t my opinions and I am not claiming to have an inside guy, simply trying to share among Gator Nation.

“I am told that Napier and his current coaches basically want everyone who is hitting the portal or who has already hit the portal to stay at UF. Napier et al are scheduling face to face meetings with the players starting today. In fact, Diabate is meeting with Toney right now. Napier has been texting the potential portal peeps directly to set up these meetings. Despite that, I still expect Diabate to put his name in the portal. That does not mean that he will leave. I think Diabate will do his own research about the type of D that the Gators will run next year and his likely role. Napier wants these players to do the research and make an informed decision.

Also, there is some risk with the players hitting the portal. If a player hits the portal and then decides that he wants to stay put, it can be costly for the player in terms of loss of benefits (if the coach wanted to send a signal) which gets complicated.”

**Edit** this was put out before the announcement of Diabate.
