If Billy Napier gets left on the runway, are there any Florida recruits that Texas would jump on? Groce, Guervil, Ford? @Gerry Hamilton

maybe we could get Jadan Baugh or Dallas Wilson out of the portal.

Guervil out of the HS ranks.

Portal ... everyone will be after their "stars"  - if they leave

No interest in Ford? I get that Groce was never a target but I thought we wanted one more edge.  

or Heze Kent? Forgot he committed there.

Texas has never had a ton of interest in Ford.

That sophomore RB should be at the top of our list 

Wilson, Mbatchou, Wiggins, Hanks, Brown, Baugh, Graham, and Jackson would all be great transfer targets. Oregon is probably salivating at Wilson back on the market.

Some of those players look appealing, but I would think Texas wants experienced guys in the portal if they go that route.  No disrespect to Wilson, Mbatchou, etc., but have they played any meaningful snaps at UF yet?  Baugh would be a great get at RB for sure.

Hopefully he is a hard pass for our staff now. Feel like wasting a schlorship on a boutique player is dumb. 

Are those all IOL?

Baugh and Graham for sure. Baugh is obvious. Graham is very productive at OLB. Brown III is starting as a FR and a rare bright spot for Florida this year, but he's a Gator legacy.

The rest are recruits we wanted that we might pursue if the current class lacks the talent at certain positions. Sark keeps those relationships. Might be a cheaper NIL gamble to fill holes than the 3 above. If someone like Dallas Wilson wants to transfer here, I'd bet they find a way to make it happen.

 

Too many good Florida jokes this week

 

 

@Gerry Hamilton I go all in on Jayden Baugh

Baugh, Simon, Cooper, and Stewart would be a pretty nice RB room.  You would have it all from power, speed, acceleration, vision, pass catching, and pass pro.
