Really curious here. You lose all your receivers and your best back. You lose 3 of 4 on the d-line including the 2 that were worth a shite. Look pretty solid in secondary. How is that better?



Not a UF fan, but having watched them, they rotated in 6 WR's pretty regularly, in addition to Kyle Pitts, their TE. Those 6 WR's all caught at least 20 passes. Of those 6, Grimes and Copeland will be returning, in addition to Pitts at TE. On top of 2 4* WR's they've brought in, they're also going to land Xzavier Henderson tomorrow and he's an absolute stud, and might add Justin Shorter as well. At RB, Pierce is decent, they just landed a former 5* RB transfer, and they're still in the mix to add another 4* back. The OL should also be better, as they return 4 starters.

Let's see what they do without McElwain's recruits and transfers.

Let's not pretend there wasn't some very good talent left for Mullen especially on the defensive side.

Oh please. After the Top 5, there is a significant drop off on quality of QBs. Florida will have a very similar year next year to this one.

I think it comes down to what Fromm does.


Fromm's stock will never be higher and he'd have a chance to be the #2 QB taken, depending on how teams feel about Herbert. Next year there are at least 3-4 QB's who will be taken ahead of him. All of the Bama guys who will be returning would be taken ahead of him, and his stock would go way up. With that said, I don't see any way that Fromm leaves.

Kirby knows he'll be in for a beatdown in Tuscaloosa if Fromm were to leave.

We’re pretending that Mac was a good recruiter and roster manager in the name of denying what Mullen has done so far?

Why are you putting aggys slogan on us? We were good in 2019 and will be in 2020.

What?It was actually higher last year and it can do nothing but go up next year with a healthy and much better receiving corps.

Joe Burrow is 23 Fromm is 21.If you don't think those 2 years make a difference I don't think you know much about the QB posistion.

We had a QB with a top 10 QBR this year.

Are you people fricking retarded? Serious question.


I thought that maybe Trask was an upperclassmen out of eligibility after reading that post, when I was certain he was not.

Define “very good”. Have they been on that level in 2018 and 2019?

Keep in mind that James Coley will still be calling the plays as things stand right now. Coley's play-calling, along with Kirby's dinosaur offense, played a big role in his stock tanking from a unanimous top 10 pick before the season began, to a late 1st rounder. Fromm would be one of the top 3 QB's taken if he were to enter. Next year he'd probably be the 4th or 5th QB drafted, and there are likely going to be 4-6 other Bama junior who will return, and every one of them will also be taken ahead of Fromm.

With that being said, this is all meaningless because there's 0% chance that he'll leave. I expect Fromm to have a great year and he'll be able to make up for Coley's play-calling again. The team will likely win the East and should play in another BCS bowl game.

Someone from another team posted and actually knows his stuff about UFs offense next year

Are you claiming Mullen is? And stop with the "roster mgt" bullshite.McElwain suspended multiple players and delt with several injuries in '16.

Who did Mullen win with the last 2 years?

Are you saying there wasn't talent on the roster when Mullen took over? C'mon bro

Florida’s issue is and will continue to be lines of scrimmage relative to other top teams, particularly OL and interior DL.

We aren't losing all our receivers, and keep the best returning TE in the nation

OLine has more depth and more experience than last year

Pierce is a pretty good back so not a huge drop there.

Defensive line we have some good players but it will be younger. Not as good a pass rush but the linebackers will also be more talented than this year.

Secondary will be fine.

Biggest thing. Two very good QB's in the QB room. Anyone wondering if UF has a QB literally missed the entire season. Trask performed exceptionally well in his role despite no run game to support him.

UF also has more depth. Mullen has upped the blue chip ratio significantly. Our back ups are now four stars instead of three stars at most positions. Would be nice if five stars, but depth has been an issue and that isn't the case next season.

Grimes is coming back. Toney may come back. Copeland is coming back. So our 1-2 receivers are set. Who is behind them we shall see.

What..Mac had the highest percentage of three star players than any coach before him since they started star rankings.

Yes. Very obviously Florida was behind in talent. Like way behind. He is just great at getting the most out of what he has. Unlike Kirby.
