Am I wrong? What the hell? How does that happen at Florida or even in the state of Florida.

Only 2 eligible players entered the draft = 50% draft rate

Dan Mullen had 1 player he signed drafted this class, Ty'Ron Hopper from Missouri.

We can't help it that Mullen out zero energy into recruiting but that's why we only had one player drafted.

However, we had players return that would have been drafted, some even fairly high (Mertz, Jason Marshall, Caleb Banks).

This could be said every year. There should NEVER be a year that UF has less than five drafted. EVER!

Have you seen them play the last 2 years? They fricking sucked. SunBelt Billy is destroying that program and everyone just seems to be OK with it.

Kirby had 1 drafted after his first 2016 season. And it was a junior who left early. The senior class that Kirby inherited was one of the all time class fails in the SEC.

Those things happen. There is a reason why the previous staff was let go.

That said... this is Billy's second season. And he has the benefit of a fully functional transfer portal

(Mullens use of the transfer portal was a detriment as it didn't have any talent from high school developing... everyone saw this coming for the draft classes. I was on this board proclaiming that Mullens offensive high school recruits were on par with Geoff Collins at GT).

If you haven't been paying attention, UF doesn't seem to care about winning any longer. Scott Stricklin thinks he is Jerry Jones I guess.

So 5-7 teams usually have multiple draft picks?
