Not being difficult and not going to complain if/when we end up with a top 15 class. The problem is when 6,7, or 8 SEC teams finish above us we aren't really gaining any traction.

That’s where development comes in, and the only rating that can be put on that is wins and losses. Way too much energy is spent on what the difference is between teams 5 and 8 in the SEC for recruiting.

Very true. I do think a lot of emphasis is put on star numbers. I'm just saying in theory we aren't gaining traction. Hopefully this staff continues to show growth in player development. We haven't seen a staff do that here in a very long time.

When all is said and done Napier will either look like a genius or a complete fool. I see no in between with his strategy.

I agree. I do think there's still a good chance they become a hot destination for transfers at some point this offseason. Long long ways left to go.

But can they make up enough ground down the stretch with this class? If not there's a good chance transfers may be short term bandaids anyways.

The long term view he's taking is probably wise at any other job in any other conference. But it feels like he's missing the boat at Florida. You have to prioritize long term and short term every single day. Thats why its hard to succeed in the SEC. You cant take a year zero and keep up.

That team already needed an infusion of talent.

I smell blood. We need to blow their doors off next year. If that happens we potentially shift the power dynamics of this rivalry for the foreseeable future.

I dont believe in any Florida curses by the way. We've lost for years due to poor coaching and less talent. They got us this year because they were good at the time. We were still figuring out what we were capable of. The tables will be flipped next year for the first time in a long time. I'm not scared one bit.

Baby steps. We started this race much later than the rest of the league and we've been dragging an anchor with us.

Don't worry we are just getting warmed up.

Playing catch up from being at work all day and just gotta say to you Butchna, I can definitely understand why you got a little giddy when you first got the info you did and most of us would have shared and posted our excitement. And who knows, there could still be something big to come out of that. If not, no biggie. You keep doin you brother.

Absolutely agree, if there is one person in this forum to tell you what he believes is true is Butchna. There are no gray areas on what he is thinking. I don’t know the man personally but I truly believe he was sharing some info that could possibly be in play and would have been huge if it panned out. Nothing more, nothing less. I get the feeling Butchna is the last person that gives two ***** about receiving accolades.

It’s incredible how stubborn Dabo is. This was a huge opportunity to adjust and make a change and he is sticking to the same stuff that looked horrific this year. He doesn’t do the portal, he doesn’t like NIL… I mean you might as well retire or go NFL

He didn't have a problem with Clemsons recruits getting massive stacks of cash though.
