Not true. They are good friends from camp circuit. Not necessarily a package deal, but Kiffin working the angle.Brady Ward is from Alabama and has no connection to Evans. This is something someone else misunderstood and it’s just spread somehow.
Lived between Gainesville and Palatka for a year and a half. Coached with a couple of UF alums and other UF fans. Never had a problem. MUCH less arrogant than UGA people.When I retired I moved to Tampa for three years, now am just a snowbird during the winter. Always wearing my Vol gear, never once had a bad encounter, couple smart a.. comments but nothing really bad.
Actually, it is a good conversation starter, always have people like at Walmart or grocery come up to me and start talking sports, or “hey I have a brother that lives in TN”....blah blah blah etc. Or even, “hey looks like you have a great coach now.” Other people here at the condo wear there teams gear and it allows us great chance get know each other.
Been two Tenn games in Florida, never a problem. Maybe they just don’t want to pick on an old gray haired guy.....lol
I disagree,there just as bad if not worst. Do you not know the history of there fans in the stadium.? I grew up in Tampa I have a ton of friends who are gator fans. What amazed me is how they became gator fans only when spurrier got there.!! There both real bad sportsmanship fans. Plenty of redneck drunks....I’m sorry but it’s the truth been to many games and know way to many of the fans. Been to the games and had first hand experience to know how bad they get.Lived between Gainesville and Palatka for a year and a half. Coached with a couple of UF alums and other UF fans.

No more distress in our locker room...There are 4 scenarios that I see as possible with all this, and honestly, I’m ok with all of them.
In order of my level of acceptability.
1. He picks UT and balls out
2. He picks OM and flames out/causes locker room distress
3. He picks OM and balls out (how many times do we play them in the next 3-4 years (1x, maybe 2?) I trust Pruitt defense to be able to beat Kiffin O even with a stud RB. Plus maybe he hurts Bama
4. He picks UT and flames out (I think our locker room is too strong for him to cause widespread distress).
Just speaking from my experience. Spent my whole career in Georgia. Spent 11 years 30 minutes from Athens. My experiences in both Florida and now in Alabama with fans was better.I disagree,there just as bad if not worst. Do you not know the history of there fans in the stadium.?

How many non-SEC schools have a legitimate chance at getting his attention though???
Pretty sure the SEC passes a rule after the Josh Malone recruitment which prevents a recruit from signing FAAs with multiple SEC schools.
You are correct though that Evans could still sign FAAs with one SEC school and other non-SEC schools. How many non-SEC schools have a legitimate chance at getting his attention though???
My brother got his masters there. I hated, he hated, his girlfriend hated it. As a matter a fact every weekend they went to St. Augustine to stay because they hated It so much. Luckily he got his masters done in a year.Gainesville sucks. Been once and will never go back. Starkville might be a better town
Agreed they way I look at it is Pruitt has seen and coached all kinds of kids. They know what to look out for and how to deal with the issues. I’m for trusting the staff, if they’re good with Evans then I’m on board!!!I would not turn down a RB like Evans. He could flourish or be a total question mark. I do believe Pruitt will show him the door if Evans were to put I before Team. Pruitt is not going to tolerate “me first” players. JMO.
Tres Smith agrees.... the locker room drama is over.No more distress in our locker room...

Well, best returning QB in the SEC in Trask while UGA lost Fromm and a boatload if others to the NFL. UF only lost one NFL prospect to the draft out of 6 candidates. Deep and talented at every position, the big weakness for UF last year was o-line, should be a strength this year.
But again, Zach Evans to UT would be a difference-maker. Some of the best players I’ve seen are supposed “head cases.”

Week 6 Rank: 58; Week 12 Rank: 65
As much as Florida fans clamored for Franks to be removed for Trask, we may be at a time where those same Gator fans are asking for Emory Jones instead of Trask after his average performance in 2019. Jones’ upside is one thing – and Trask’s play this past season certainly wasn’t terrible as he completed 66.7% of his passes for 25 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. However, Trask launched just nine big-time throws compared to his 22 turnover-worthy passes, a mark that certainly isn’t pleasing on the eyes.

Interesting that Michael Penix is on this list for Vol fans. No mention of Trask.
