Ok...part two of 2014 UF team:
DL Dante Fowler
Jon Bullard
Darius Cummings
Ron Powell
Bryan Cox
Joey Ivie
Alex McCalister (needs weight training)
Leon Orr
Jaynard Bostwick
Caleb Brantley
Jarran Reed (still on team?)
Antonio Riles
Jordan Sheritt
LB Antonio Morrison
Neiron Ball
Michael Taylor
Jeremi Powell
Daniel McMillian
Alex Anzalone (going to be a good one)
Matt Rolin (another good one)
Jarrad Davis # 40 (started USC game-tr frosh
DB Marcus Roberson
Loucheiz Purifoy
Jabari Gorman
Cody Riggs
Brian Poole (played great game against USC)
Vernon Hargreaves (future top 5 pick)
Rhaheim Ledbetter
Marcus Maye
Marcell Harris (top DB recruit 2012)
Keanu Neal
Nick Washington
Punter Johnny Townsend & Kyle Christy
Review The defense will again be the strength of the team and we are loaded for the most part. We have about 13 scholly DL on roster with six of them upper classmen. Always need 7-8 for rotation along 4 man line as they chase all the time and are big/physical...tire easy.
LB is our soft point as far as depth and any injury is critical here...8 on scholly with 4 upperclassmen...need numbers quickly.
DB is loaded with talent but we do have five upperclassmen at a position where you sometimes have to play six guys against pass happy teams or one that has two score deficit with 2 minutes left and its bombs away. Eleven schollys with five upperclassmen means more numbers needed, at least 3-4. Punter? Cant figure out Christy.
We will be a force to reckon with and Booms aggressive hard hitting defense will keep scores low for our opponents.
Oh BTW I did include the past year signees in this list.

Even though Purifoy hasn't played well. I don't think he will be back. But I agree with the rest.

I can't see Roberson or Purifoy coming back. I'm unsure about our secondary outside of VHIII.

Powell
Purifoy
Roberson
They are all gone.

I counted them since we don't know for sure. I know that todays athletes get smoke blown up their azz by runners, friends, family etc etc to leave early.
I don't know about Powell leaving early...he may decide smartly that he isn't going to be high draft choice. Purifoy cant tackle well and Roberson could be best of the three...but DBs are growing on trees and don't get paid jack unless selected in the first two rounds.
They leave early and six or seven years from now they are flat broke...its sad.
I expect us to try and get at least 1 each OL & DL from JUCO ranks...might have to flip someone ala Darius Cummings, since most of the top OL & DL in JUCO ranks appear to be committed according to JUCO recruiting services I looked at..but Im no expert. Just glad we flipped Cummings...he is a stud....only has 1 more year I believe....that's the downside of JUCOs...but Alabama, AU, UGA, UT, Ole Miss and Mizzou have been hitting JUCOs hard the past five years.

Powell has been encouraged to leave. Would be really difficult to make it into the NFL with 3 ACL surgeries.

JUCO's are nice fillers.
Not sure we need to recruit any this year though. Possibly on the OL, but not on the DL. We aren't done there yet for HS kids.

It was rumored Powel wanted to stay to improve on this year's performance, so who knows.
Robertson is suspended, so I'm assuming he is gone.
Purifoy I'm guessing he is gone.

Deciding factors are always kids if they have dependents to care for.... underclass g/fs without any children involved usually mean they stay
