Do we know for sure that we didn't pursue? Maybe dude wanted a guaranteed starting spot and we obviously couldn't make that promise with Bain and Mesidor on the roster.

I would agree, but the only ones who would qualify as retiring or not pursuing football wouldn't be a "big loss" for us at this point as some have speculated. With the portal window closing early last week and 48 hours to put the name in, we are way past that point to have heard anything, no?

I've always said that if we could be competitive with the pay (because we couldn't get away with it like SEC did under the table), we'll grab more top end talent. If we start showing it on the field as well, lights out.

He’s been on top of things the last few weeks. Wonder if he is back in good graces with the staff. I will say this about Ferman: at least he has the balls to make real predictions and not hedge or wait til everyone else puts in a prediction. Means he’ll be wrong more often.

But I thought we were a broke-*** program, according to Gator and Nole fans.

It sounded like you were alluding to his entire post about the best way of building a roster. Maybe speak in complete thoughts. Also, you are pretty much the only one who doesn't agree on the free agency argument. Everyone else agrees with DMoney. Nothing else to say.

So you're going to pick the outlier as your supporting proof rather than looking at the data set as a whole? Guess you never took a statistics class. Also, no one is saying it can't be done, just that it's not sustainable long-term.

It will be fascinating in 5 years to see the success rates of teams that rely on the portal vs those that cherry-pick a few guys from the portal to supplement high school recruiting.

They did last year too and look where that got them. Culture and coaching there is horrible.

Isn’t this the dude who complained about Pitt not winning enough?

Ooof, that bit about Florida kids always falling to whatever your floor is. Hard to argue with it. How many Florida guys have we had come through and just not put forth the effort? They went to Bama and succeeded because Saban’s floor was higher than most ceilings.

This kid just screams 2-4 transfers over his career.

Seriously. Dude could fund 5 years of elite NIL with 1% of a month's income.

Agreed, absolutely need guys to develop. I'm actually not as terribly concerned about DT as others. Clark was a good add and Scott and Jones are also about to enter the chat. To me, biggest needs are RB, safety, and probably another IOL. We've recruited enough talent at WR and DT, we just need...

How many big money DTs have entered? There's the guy from TCU, who immediately had visits locked in to OU and UT, so that was prearranged. Other than that, I don't feel like there has been much to pick from.

They going to be able to field a team? He only signed like 11 high schoolers, too.

Not to mention it's a stone's throw to Lakeland.
