re: UF WR Caleb Douglas enters portal

I may be in the minority opinion on this, but WR is the one position I wouldn't mind us only building organically. There is always a ton of talent in state and while we may lack some experience there for next season, we still have a lot of potential in the room already.
I don't really feel that way about any other positions. I'd like the traditional recruiting to be the foundation. Building the program is more sustainable than building a team each year. But the portal can always offer upgrades, especially as we're trying to work back to the upper levels of the sport.
WR just feels like a spot where we should never have to do that though.

I agree, the only way we should take a WR is it it’s legitimately a player that has the tape and physical tools to be our number 1 immediately and compete for the Biletnikoff … Keon Coleman level, otherwise play the studs we already have on the roster.

Felt the same about DB!! And holy crap did the bottom come out of that perspective

100% right. No issue with Douglas but we are loaded here. I kind of regret that we even took Lacy in the portal when we did. The Louisiana WR crop has been incredible, so I’d rather focus elsewhere in the portal.

I agree with your thinking. I also see where taking one wouldn't be a big deal. Year to year our roster has 8-10 dead weight guys taking them. Since we are truly accepting college football at the highest level as a business, I say treat it like one. Start making cuts. These "kids" can learn about rejection. Can't expect to be treated as kid in this situation yet treated like a adult while razing college campuses protesting your cause. They're either kids or adults not both. It's time these institutions of higher education starting teaching these people something valuable again. Real world rejection can be one of them.

I agree, but if Lacy doesn't come back, you will need some experience in that room. Other than Hilton who's really played significant snaps at that position. Nothing wrong with taking a WR1 and allowing the others to develop alongside him.
