I also hate seeing these stud freshman and us not having one.

Arizona had 3 top 22 and 2 top 10 recruits this class. Those are the guys that are gonna contribute early. SWA was our only top 50 guy. We grabbed some solid developmental guys in the class but no gamechangers. Which I get their approach of not wanting to take such a risk and count on freshmen, but you’ve gotta kill it in the portal.

We are gonna have to spend more to compete, especially after a year that we lose the entire roster like last year. Retaining players is cheaper than obtaining.

Steven being a defensive guy and bigs being the main thing he’s coached, I suspect he will go after some top tier defensive players next year.

In our two biggest games he's been nearly invisible and he's supposed to be this top player. He's good when it’s easy.

His lowest scoring game was Mich and he still had 15 in it. Sitting at 13 right now. This will likely be his third game all season where he doesn’t score 20+.

How has CBM played this year?

Really good, but if we keep CBM I’m not sure we get Hall.

As someone who went to bat for CBM regularly, I don’t love the idea of him on this team.

Solid close to the half. Dont think we’ve got it in us to survive another 20 mins but glad guys showed some fight there.

We just don't have the horses this year. There is a clear gap between us and the legit contenders.

Yep. Ceiling for this team is gonna be catching fire at the end of the year and just being a team others don’t want to draw in the tourney.

My point exactly. What was Hall doing defensively? It’s like he didn’t even know Bradley was in the corner.

Defensively we are lost. Terrified about the paint (understandably) and completely leaving guys. Offensively we just can’t match the physicality.

This is like playing Tenn but they’re actually good on offense.

Magwood in. This could be ugly.

Good job handling the blitz there. If big man has to work to the basket when they do it and someone has to find him.

Yeah we aren’t going to have any answer for a guy like Krivas

Money won’t buy instant success (as we saw this year). But it’s definitely a necessity in this day and age.
Feel the same way. He was a big pull in HS and gave us a ton of momentum that class.

Was expected after some stuff he posted after the season. Hope he ends up out of the SEC and does well.

An OM writer said they expect him to rehab and redshirt next year.

His cousin Donte Mocrief is going to be elevated to wide receiver coach there according the 247 article. So that would help explain the flip.

Yep this is likely what sealed the deal

The real question is do we want coaches that can recruit or develop talent. You can only pick one.

Falzone sucks and there’s a reason we were seemingly the only school recruiting him as a QB. He could end up being great but he’s a major project.

but what gives to everyone on the radar is a 3*.

Because signing day is in two days and the only kids he’s been recruiting for the past few years have been 3*s.

This high school class was gonna be small for months now. His energy needs to be on the guys on the roster and then the portal.

Yeah I think the main focus on this class is keeping guys already in it the staff likes, maybe snagging a few more guys they’re familiar with like Spencer, turning attention to current player evaluation and retention, and then hitting the portal hard to fill gaps.

Who is summrals agent?

Pretty sure it’s Dowdell. He might be Golesh’s agent too.
Apparently Sumrall is bringing a lot of his Tulane staff to UF, including both coordinators.
