We are in deep trouble for 2020

Depth wise. No one seems to want to talk about this yet, but we are in some serious trouble.
Thats why the 2019 season is so important. Taking a step back would be a huge negative for recruiting (and we're still behind as far as thats concerned in a big way).
Depth especially on defense will be a HUGE issue. DL, Linebackers, and secondary depth will all be VERY questionable in 2020.

Box did you stay up all night watching a scarey movie?
First off, we have a LOT of juniors this year and although Marco & CJ might leave early, we are building depth there at CB.
DL? A lot of jrs
LB? We return a lot of talent except for Reese
Whats the issue? Snap out of it and look at our full roster dude.

Oline will all be back but Buchanan unless someone really shines and leaves early
Frank or Jones will be the QB. Neither is a bad thing
Grimes and Toney are key at WR. If they stay, we still have a very dangerous group
So Offense will be perfectly fine
Defense is a bit worrisome in the secondary for sure.
Wilson staying would be huge. Stewart may have the talent to leave early, but hopefully he won't.
I don't see as many issues as I thought there would be with all the issues we had. 2021 could be scary if this class doesn't do a bang up job of replacing some guys we lost though

It's not that bad.
1. The OL will be deep and experienced.
Forsythe rSR - returning starter
Moore rJR
Heggie rSR - returning starter
Bleich rSO - returning starter
McDowell rSO - returning backup
Gouraige rSO - returning backup
Delance rSR - returning starter
Eguakun SO - returning back up
Tarquin SO - returning back up
Harrod rFR
White SO - returning back up
Simonds rFR
Wilson rFR
Plus at least 4-5 new OL recruits. This will be a position with a lot of experience and a lot of good quality depth.
2. Unless their are freak departures, UF will have:
Pierce JR
Davis rJR
Clement rSO
Wright rFR
plus whomever else UF brings in. Pierce and Davis should be dynamic.
3. UF should have an experienced QB in Felipe Franks. If not, UF will still have:
Jones rSO
Trask rSR
Anthony Richardson FR
4. The defense should still have a lot of quality players with experience in the front 7:
DT
Campbell SR
Slaton SR
Conliffe SR
Humphries SO or rFR
WDE
Moon rSR
Chatfield rSO
Diabate SO
Sumerall rFR
DE
Carter rJR
Bogle rSO
Cox rSO - just transferred from UGA
LB
Miller rJR
Burney JR
Houston rJR
Reese (other) rSO
Brunson rJR
Pierre rFR
Hopper rFR
And UF will be adding 2 talented LBs, and 5-6 DL to this rotation. So the depth will be young, but the starters will be juniors and seniors. Nothing shaky about these players, unless 2019 tells us different.
The areas of concern are DB and WR.
WR:
Grimes SR - may go pro
Wells rSR
Toney SR
Copeland rSO
Whittemore rFR
Marks rFR
Henderson rFR
Weston - rFR
Leonard Manuel 4*
Jaquaivan Fraziars 4*
Jeremiah Johnson 3*
But UF will also have strong pass catching options at TE to supplement that younger group:
Pitts - JR - may even play WR fulltime by then
Gamble rSO
Krull rSR
Lang rSO
Zipperer rFR
UF is bringing in at least 3 more WR including highly touted guys like Manuel and Frazion.
The only other position with serious questions would be defensive back:
CB
Mcwiliams rSR
Wilson rJR - if he doesn't go pro
Dean JR
Hill SO
Kimrough SO
Elam SO
S
Stewart SR
Huggins JR
Stiner SR
Davis SR
Lenton rSR
Plus Kelvin Joseph will probably transfer to UF, Jahari Rogers and Avery Helm are two 4* corners already committed, and UF has 2 new safety recruits coming in as well. That might be the most experienced group of safeties UF has ever had at one time.
So yeah, UF has some work to do on the recruiting trail. Especially if Joseph doesn't transfer.
But it is not all doom and gloom here.

Things can change in a hurry, for the better. If we have a good year a we “flip” some recruits. Also many teams that haven’t gone down the JUCO route are now finding a lot of good talent there. Graduate transfers can patch holes. We’re FLORIDA
