Florida's departures and info on each:
NFL Draft:
QB Richardson - sucks for us, idiotic to leave, imo
OG Torrence - sucks for us, he is a badass, will be the first guard drafed
DT Dexter - sucks for us, huge AND active, should go in 1st or 2nd round
WR Shorter - sucks for us...not actually GOOD, but tall and goes deep
.
Portal guys/dismissed
OL Braun - played some early in career, not this year, grad transfer
WR Whittemore - went to my HS, tall-ish, possession receiver - good player
TE Elksnis - never heard of him, buried on depth chart
WR Reynolds - played a little, had a breakout game vs Vandy (LOL), now leaving. Bye.
RB Lingard - 5* transfer from the Canes, couldn't get on the field.
QB Kitna - perv
RB Wright - played a lot in '20 and '21, but down to 3d-string now
OL Mugharbil - never heard of him, never played in 2 years
.
S McMillon - didn't play much until 2nd half of this year, backup, ho-hum
DT Lee - played some, but just when we had no depth on DL mid-season, unremarkable SOPH
DL Thomas - dismissed then returned, never really played
DE Summerall - played more and more this year, lanky edge guy who might actually be good some day....I'd rather he didn't leave
LB Borders - fans were excited about him, but he's just been a special-teams guy
LB Black - another guy fans were optimistic about, but just couldn't get playing time
S Collier - don't know who he is. Bye.
LB Reese - he's been a backup for like 3 years it feels like....can't get playing time
CB Helm - got some playing time as a FR, but lost his starting job this year....wish he could develop at UF, but he's gone
DB Wilcoxson - last name looks made up, lol...left program, but didn't really play, so......bye.
DE Cox - dismissed from team, going into draft, lots of potential but didn't actually DO a lot
.
plus a long-snapper who lost his job and a guy who played 3 diff positions, yielding no playing time
.
So out of all those guys, sure, I'd like to have the early draft guys back, but that's different than losing guys to the portal.
If I had my way, out of all those guys, I'd want Summerall and Helm back, then one of Borders or Black. 3 out of this whole big list.
Meh.
