I know that we are always in a constant battle with T Rob with corners. His 2 starters from last year didn't get drafted nor have they signed free agent contracts. They were supposed "top 1-3 round corners" one was even #1 last year. Would you question his development in DBs. Even Highsmith signed with somebody.

Naw because they were productive but lacked the physical attributes and had off field drama... We seen their secondary perform and outside of a few games they were good... However, they both had horrible combines and Purifoy was even caught with drugs... He was supposed to be an informant as well... Pretty much they were raw with potential...
 
purifoy was a 1st round talent a couple years ago. then something happened with him and his game regressed. Their other CB, i believe had a injury, i believe.

What happened was he failed to meet expectations... The guy has a load of potential but he gets in trouble too much...

Both guys failed multiple drug tests during the season and played a limited amount of games because of that and other disciplinary issues.

Roberson got caught sneaking girls into the hotel during an away game and was suspended.

Muschamp lost the locker room halfway thru the season and these guys were more interested in weed than football.

Also the Gators DBs get away with alot of holding and bumping that doesn't work in the NFl.

Roberson was 1st round talent with a 10 cent brain.

Purifoy was just an athlete playing corner with sloppy technique. Kid got exposed by Winston and Benjamin
 
If there was ever a place that I have actually seen a lot of top talent not blossom it would definitely be UF...
I have seen d-linemen, secondary, Wrs, etc go there and become a thing of the past...

That kind of culture is suspect...but for some reason the allure to go there is still there...

Rooting for the canes hope that they continue to fail...and muschump stays their coach...

Turds or not Hurlie/Ice/Barrow/Williams better be bringing this up to recruits. ***** T Rob.

I am guessing Trob will just counter with the kids that stayed out of trouble and got drafted like Elam Evans and Watkins. He will probably point to VH3 too.

The fact that he would have to counter would be a win. Definitely a dent in that no fly zone BS he sells right now

I doubt it will dent anything you dont really want to compare Trob and Muschamp's DB resume to Williams. It is not really fair to Williams since he hasn't been at a big program until Miami. You think Ice is going to start negative recruiting the school he sent his son to over Miami?

Almost no doubt Williams is a better DB coach than TRob.

OL JC made a bad choice.

Williams IMO will send at least 5 DB's to the NFL over the next few years.

He's been having to coach a ton of freshman and sophmores or seniors without much talent.

In his shorter coaching career, he's already had 2 guys drafted including a 2nd rounder at Temple.
 
UF's talent was far superior to ours last season.

It was simply a coaching miracle that we won the game.

Move along. Nothing to do with battle of the retards.

Trob and Muschamp coach the DB's together Muschamp > Williams. Coaching young players is not an excuse IMO at the DB position. Miami has plenty of talent in the secondary we will see how it goes next season. UF will be younger than Miami.
 
Both are idiots off the field. Purifoy got suspended 3 times for weed at UF and Roberson was suspended multiple times as well. Roberson missed half the year with an injury and still left which makes no sense, he should have come back. Purifoy should have as well in hindsight but his off the field issues and poor combine and pro day workouts killed him.

UF has had a 1st round pick in 6 of the last 7 NFL drafts. We are top 5 over the last decade in players drafted, to say talent isn't blossoming is silly.

Every school has busts, even the guys churning out talent every year like Bama and LSU. People just tend to remember their busts a little more than everybody else's, same with UF.
