re: Interesting Stat Involving Florida Recruits: 6/8 Gone

Stat isn't really that interesting. Many Florida players have come here through the years and plenty have done well.

As for your list...

Gore, Randall & Avery Peterson were all very understandable transfers. Especially Gore & Randall, who were only at LSU for about a year before realizing they were going to have a hard time cracking the lineup.

Avery was on the verge of getting some PT last year before getting hurt, so it's not exactly unreasonable for him to have left.

Valentine... regrettably, easy come, easy go. Couldn't get over the academic hump, but wasn't here long anyway, but I don't think he took too many reps from anyone since he was mostly, if not entirely, ineligible.

Only Bain & Robinson are real losses as they contended for significant playing time and took a lot of practice reps.

And if you're listing 2010... and including Kadron Boone as graduated, you should consider adding Patrick Peterson to your list... and his presence alone suddenly makes the list look less bad than you're implying.

... lastly, I think you forgot Keven Toliver II, who has been enrolled since spring and has been looking good from what I've heard.

So, now it's not nearly as grim as your post suggests.

eta: you did mention Toliver, but not not on the list of active players, which you should have since he's enrolled and practicing.
