I've seen it repeatedly said that UF has a dearth of talent across the board and that the situation at UF is not bad.

I usually respond by offering to trade personnel groupings with another team yet no one ever took me up on that offer.

Here is where we are currently at the skill positions.

QB - we all know the inexperience there

RB - Mike Gillislee will start, trFR Matt Jones appears to be the likely backup if not it will be Mack Brown Jr who apparently isn't bright enough to learn the offense and especially the protection schemes. We are going to count on a trFR to carry the rock at UF??? Seriously?

That's it for true RBs on the roster. We also will be playing a converted WR at RB, Omarius Hines and we have Trey Burton who is a man without a true position and lines up everywhere. That's it? 2.5 true RBs on the roster than can play. Are you freaking kidding me? At UF?

FB - one true FB on the roster in Hunter Joyer and he's a beast. He'll get some carries.

That's it. That's all that will be running the ball unless a converted LB, Chris Johnson is called upon and that doesn't appear likely now.

WR - it was just stated today that we have 6 that will play. SIX! Are you kidding me? UF with 6 WR that are able to see the field.

TE - No true TEs on the field at all this year. The two FR will redshirt IMO. We have a converted QB and two converted DEs at TE right now and that's it. Well, Burton will line up there of course. No true TEs on the roster at UF that can play?

Urbs left Boom a lot to work with on offense as you can clearly see. I'm not even going to go there for the lack of depth at OL. We have 7 OL that the coaches "trust". SEVEN!

I'll be waiting in line at Walmarks to get a good look at our next Crystal Ball if anyone is looking for me.

Open tryouts for WR, TE and RB will be held at UF later this afternoon if anyone is interested and has some eligibility remaining.

Continues to make me think how bad OSU is going to be under Meyer. Tebow carried Fla, during his tenure there and Zook's recruiting. Fla's offense is the only thing keeping the D from being a really good D.

He will get an initial bump and then start to slide. The OSU fans think he is the second coming of vince lombardi

I only live 40 miles away, but I'm 46, granted I still run a high 4.7 forty. Na, I couldn't do that. What if I got cut or scratched and started bleeding all this purple and gold all over the Gators' practice field. Coaches would vaporlock and die. I wouldn't want that on my conscience.

This why I lol when people suggest Boom is on the hot seat.

He was handed the keys to a 1987 Hyundai Excel with an aluminum block and told to drive through the desert without water in the radiator.

At least the O-line will be ok, right?

Kidding about what? That's all the players we have?



The OL will be OK unless the injury bug breaks loose.

I truly am not as big a Bobo hater as some of my brethren, but no.

Tried to get you in another thread you mentioned something about this.

I guess my main question is are those all the players left? Like Story was supposed to be a stud WR, but he crapped out. How many other top looking prospects just didn't pan out? It happens sometimes.

Then, in regards to RB, Meyer usually likes the smaller backs. Do you think he can adjust to the type of backs OSU is used to playing over the years? the 6' 225 guys who will bruise

Quite a few of them left because Muschamp is much more of a discipline guy than Meyer was.

I just did a quick rivals analysis and it looks like 10 WRs and 5 RBs the last 4 years committed. No idea who redshirted etc...but if everyone stayed all 4 years that would be the group. That RB group includes your fullback I think as well.

And I have no idea if any "ATH" went to those 2 positions either
