FWIW: I spoke with my coworker, a DPT who graduated from UF. He said that in his opinion, if he's still in the boot beyond a week or so, it's likely going to take at least two to three months before he's full go. Either way, it's not good for a 240+ lb mobile QB to be in a boot beginning of fall practice.

That also mitigates your ability to stay in shape

Brandon Marcello was on Finebaum and I turned it on mid interview but it sounded like he said there was a ton of uncertainty around Lagway but then later said it sounds like he’ll be ready for the opener.

He did go on about all the past/present injuries and how it’s not a positive sign and concerning. (obvious statement but glad a national type guy is saying it).

Agree with all this. This particular injury itself isn’t necessarily worrisome. It is when it is pared with missing spring football, as well, that makes it a big deal. Durability now becomes a concern and removing QB runs from the playbook They are in bog trouble if he is a statue back there.

It depends on what the injury is cause I haven’t seen anything definitive from anyone.Its been leg,shoulder calf,knee so who knows how worrisome it is.

Napier’s development continues to be an issue too. It’s not just S&C issues like this Bucs kid. There have been multiple players that transferred out of UF that then spoke publicly about how they were finally getting real coaching and development from their new schools that they had missed out on under Billy and his staff. It’s a huge problem. He should not be a coach at this level, or possibly not even a head coach.

I think our development of players is significantly better than Florida and one of Mario's best traits as a HC.
 
Again, even if he is full go for us, which I still question, his time working routes with his new receivers and working through bad behaviors from last season is being reduced every day he’s out.Result = more drops and picks. And they play LSU the week prior. Go for the jugular.

So if worst case scenario for UF is Lagway is out, who is their back up?

The guy they PLAYED last year was Aidan Warner, the walk-on/transfer from Yale.

The guy they might LIKE to play is Tramell Jones, the true freshman.

The guy they DON'T want to play is Clay Millen, the transfer from Nevada and Colorado State.

The guy they might HAVE TO play is Harrison Bailey, the transfer from Tennessee and UNLV and Louisville.

It's not a deep and/or talented room.
 
Regardless if he plays against us or not he missed spring or was on a pitch count? Can’t remember. And he’s missing fall camp. Some random guy is taking all the first team reps

They have a walk on from last year that played against Texas and in other spurts, and looked horrible. They got a guy named Bailey in the portal, but the walk on was ahead of him during the spring so TBD.

Missed spring, and since then has been on a pitch count.

The severity of his injury is unknown, but their backups are cheeks.

Really ain’t worried about Lagway health. He’ll likely be ready for our match up that’s just how things work against the Canes. I’m just hoping new DC has a plan to prevent every QB from looking like a Heisman finalist against us.

Yeap it’s called a head shot
 
Asked a Florida guy I’m friends with (who’s sometimes in the know) what the thinking is up there. He and the people he talks too think the injury is minor, but is worse than Billy is letting on. They view him playing against USF as a must, since getting his first reps of the year against LSU would be a terrible situation.

They also think their OL will be elite, and that the RB room will be at the top of the SEC. When I asked how they overcome Billy, he basically said talent and a star QB.
