let's read that again together...
now will y'all shut the eff up about Napier not doing his job, please? blame the university, not the coach.
quote:
Napier said things like admissions have been a significant barrier in allowing the team to move quickly in its transfer portal pursuits and added that the team spent as many as “four weeks” pursuing a transfer portal prospect in the last window, whose grades ultimately prevented him from gaining admission to the university.

UF is F*ed up in a lot of areas.

I at least give Napier credit for calling this out in a way kind of like he did with boosters and NIL before. Either you play to try and keep up some or you dont in the SEC. His Army means nothing if you dont compete fully on the players.

Admissions issues for recruits at UF goes back a long time, I remember Spurrier complaining about it when a player that couldn't meet enrollment requirements at UF signed at UT.

Seems to be an even bigger issue in this short portal period. If a kid will ultimately qualify they need to give the OK fast for the coach. Do we still enforce that 2 years completed rule for transfers? The safety Hill would be caught up in that rule if it still exists.

Billy's fighting the good fight to change this place, ill give him that.

I understand that but Billy also know the credentials it takes to get into UF and if he is not 95% sure he can get a guy in then why waste 4 weeks on someone you knew probably was not going to be accepted.
This works both ways!!! The school isn't changing any requirements. They didn't for Spurrier or Meyer. So they will not for Billy either. Not sure all the transfer portal credentials but I'm sure it's not much different then regular recruiting credentials.
Not saying it's one or the other. But you do know before you ever start even looking at a player in the Portal

Are the thugs/ballers of today dumber than the ones from the ‘90s/‘00s?
