As Jaquez Jones so infamously said: The transfer portal is scary.

A ton of those guys won't find a landing spot better than they had. It's going to take a couple seasons of folks figuring that out before it slows down.

That would really suck. Why didn’t y’all offer out of high school?



We do. Currently two four star RBs are committed. Kaleb Jackson and Trey Holly.

Not saying Trevor will transfer. Napier will likely counter and keep him at UF. With that said apparently it was the Etienne family that contacted LSU. Probably just to feel them out and the NIL situation around LSU. It makes sense. Brian Kelly said that he will prioritize transfers with Louisiana ties. At this point I believe there is about a 40% chance Trevor transfers. The fit has to be right.

Interesting with Travis being in Jacksonville and their parents being able to see them both. Nothing surprises me anymore. I hope we don’t spend to much on him RB’s are a dime a dozen. Spend the money on receivers and pass rush.

About half.

When taking the total number of college transfers into consideration, only around five in 10 players are actually finding a new school to play for.


Numbers show the transfer portal is very risky move for most college football players

Ask them if they've heard the Jayden Daniels to the portal rumors because LSU hasn't been making their NIL payments on time

We did offer Etienne. We were just late to the party and that’s on Coach O.

Losing half of a 6-6 roster isn't brutal it's necessary

Losing 30+ players in an off-season isn’t going to be easy to overcome regardless of who Napier brings in.


we did it and won the west. It’s probably a good thing for you guys and it will save Napier from having to clean house himself. Addition by subtraction n such

Florida fans making excuses to hide the fact that Sun Belt Billy is a bad coach

Maybe y’all can get Lane in 2024

Will?

Already has. They are going to have to clean this mess up soon, or shut it down.

Not anymore

With recruiting more national there’s no reason for kids to stay in state especially in a program with bad coaching, facilities, and the worst most impatient fans in all of college football

Florida is a Nebraska type of program now

What? I don't see any excuses being made. If anything, replacing a bulk of the players that made this a 6-6 roster for the last two seasons and replacing them with a top 8 recruiting class and (hopefully) 10 or so impactful transfers are what Billy needs to do to begin to turn things around in year 2

Think that may be wishful thinking. The right coach could turn them around quickly imo.
