Not looking good for 2013.

[swamphound]

That's why we recruit them. Swamphound

[Potzer01]

Doesn't look so bad, PS Jelenai Jenkins isn't leaving early. I don't think Easely is either.

[patience75]

I think Bullard can play DT... That will help... Easley is going to the NFL and RoPo may still convince Floyd to stay and make a run... The problem at WR next year is no different than what we have this year but we may get some help...

[patience75]

Sorry... Easley is NOT going to the NFL or Jenkins for that matter...

[Gatuar]

Other than DT which I think Easley sticks I like the look of the team

I'd say 4 or 5 true freshmen need to be able to add depth with Bailey, Taylor and Fulwood injecting a little electricity into the offense

[LimeyGator]

Looking at our recruits, Lane, Taylor should be impacts at RB and I expect out OL to be pretty good so offensively we should still be more than effective.

We are reloading on D - our secondary should be lights out for years to come. Hardin won't replace Sturgis immediately but he's going to be a good one I reckon.

I think the biggest need is at TE - if Thompson and Taylor can make an impact, that's a key thing IMO. We will lose Reed I expect - those two will need to step in!

Don't fret - we're in better shape than you fear I reckon :)

[GATORAZ]

best team in the SEC east next year dont see the problem

[GATORAZ]

So this is our roster for next year minus the guys going to the NFL early. I really hope some guys from the 13' recruiting class can play early especially at defensive tackle and wideout or we may be in for a rough year.



same wideouts as this year and we are 7-1 right now. Dont count on the DT playing early unless we get Adams if Gilmore plays early it will probably be at end and thats if we get him. Joe Ivey will play DE he is enrolling early so I expect him to get on the field. Q Williams is practicing at DT and Easley & Bullard can move inside. Easley played DT last year and played some DT last week vs UGA. Orr is coming along well.

[g8r925]

We haven't made it past this yr, and we are worried about next yr already. If we had to play next yr's schedule right now and do it with out all those who are missing then I'd be worried.

But we don't, there is alot of weight training, practices and young guns to be placed on this roster. Taylor and Lane will be a difference in the backfield, and as far as DT bullard will probably end up there sooner rather than later anyway, along with Orr and Easley, and Jacobs we should be fine.

Well, this year is almost over. I don't think Georgia loses to Ole Miss or Auburn so the SEC Championship is out. All we really have to look forward to is the FSU game and if we lose that this year will feel just like last year only with a better record.

[ReimLaw]

A "sky is falling in 2013" thread halfway through our 2012 season? Wow! Step away from the ledge, my friend.

GO GATORS!

[lurkingator1]

On Defense we lose Hunter, Floyd Bostic and Evans and Floyd might stay so we are returning 7 maybe 8 on Defense. On offence we lose Gillislee, Hindes, Nixion,Wilson, Hammmons ,maybe Reed. So 6 or 7 returning starters. We are working on a top 5 recruiting class with 2 or 3 guys committed that could play Tackle Brantley , Ivey, Sheift and are in the running for at least 2 more I really don’t see a problem next year :no:

[LightMan]

WHAT!!! Same year but with a better record?? I know I am not the only one who doesnt understand that statement. If we were to drop the game to FSU we would finish the regular season 10-2. How could you not be any happier with 10-2 than you were with 7-6?? That seems to lack any logic at all. Most people would have called you insane if you said we were gonna win 10 games this season, but now it is very realistic. While it would be EXTREMELY disappointing to lose to FSU I would still be thrilled with the season we had.

As for next season. Driskel with have a full year under his belt. Lotta hype around Lane and Taylor, to go along with Brown and Jones. OLine will continue to get better. I think Reed and Burton both come back. Wideout could be an issue but I think our running game will be fierce enough to make most teams sellout to stop it. Also, and maybe most important, we will be in the SAME SYSTEM.

As far as defense goes. Muschamp and Quinn. Enough said IMO.

[gator7_5]

WHAT!!! Same year but with a better record?? I know I am not the only one who doesnt understand that statement...

It was so retarded, I read right past it. That kind of garbage always gets posted after a heartbreaking loss, wether we're 11-1 or 6-5. Some people can't control their emotions.

[MadduxFanII]

I like the whole idea of "same year but with a better record." Oh, is that all? The only difference between the two seasons is the number of games we won? Why, that hardly matters at all!

[Nicho]

It's troll logic.

I guess you don't hate losing to Georgia as much as I do. The only thing worse is losing to FSU. If we could give up the wins against LSU and South Carolina in exchange for wins against Georgia and FSU I would take it without hesitation and call the season a roaring success. We'd still be 10-2 but it's a lot different kind of 10-2.

[gatormoe1]

Obvious troll is obvious.

[PSGator66]

Ridiculous post.

Well if we could pick who we lose to then Florida would never fall to Georgia or FSU. But we can't. 10-2 = 10-2 after multiple years of being very bad. No one enjoys losing to either one of those two but most are still very happy with this season if that ous how it turns out in the end.

I can assure, most people who steadily post here are heart-broken over the UGA loss... BUT, for the most part, we don't vent on a thread about how the sky if falling... It's only 1 loss. We've been spoiled from all of our recent successes. A 1-Loss season where our final rank is in the Top 10 and we play a great head-lining bowl game.... is a pretty good scenario. Compared to last year, that's a HUUUUGE improvement.

And saying UGA can't fall to Ole Miss or Auburn is foolish. UGA is riding a high from their win over us, let's see if they slacked off from the victory... Ole Miss can beat them, it's a bit of a long-shot, but it's college football... Things happen.

Real Gator fans never give up hope as long as the door isn't _completely_ shut...

Also, our roster is looking beastmode next year. And our 2014 class will a great one too... Don't really know what more you want other than a SEC/National Champ every year.... And that ain't ever going to happen for any university.

[SeaCay]

Patchan? Surely you jest!

[nortonis]

Patchan? Surely you jest!

What - isn't he only an 8th year sophomore?

[ofmgator]

Jonesy your logic is illogical. The half -ass-u is not early as important as any SEC game period! I hate the noles with a passion and have hated them since 1960 but they don't count towards tge SECC...nuff said. I wish Jeremy would insist that the game with half-ass-u be played early in the season like it used to be until there was outside pressure to play the game at the end of the season. That way we would have a better chance in the rankings if we lost early.

[jms]

Don't kid yourself Jacoby will transfer

[lurkingator1]

Lol you forgot to add Go Gata at the end of that

That’s all the effort I will make for an obvious Troll post like this :smoke:

If YOU are a football player and you hate yourself for losing to Georgia, that makes you competitive.
If you're a fan and hate the team for losing one game, that makes you a childish idiot.

[GatorJeff]

Quinteze Williams will likely play inside. He weighs 295. Bullard and Fowler could play there if the needed to.

[Juggernautz]

best team in the SEC east next year dont see the problem

Agreed.

[orangeblueorangeblue]

Is Reed really projected to / a threat to leave early?

[Allanon]

Is Reed really projected to / a threat to leave early?

Will he really make the leap?

[stomp_and_chomp]

Is Reed really projected to / a threat to leave early?

He may.

All depends....

Everyone was saying that Floyd and Easely were surely going to enter the draft, but now, everyone is proclaiming they will stay. That always happens whe great expectations from a season fall short... People think they'll stay to try to get a NC... or at the very least, an SEC championship.

I don't believe our 1 loss is going to change anything. People will still go to the draft early. It's going to happen.

[GATORAZ]

are people really saying Floyd is going to stay he is as good as gone?

[stomp_and_chomp]

Ya, it's what people do when they think we have a chance to win it all next year... NOBODY is going to the NFL Draft.... Kinda sad imho.

Some kids will be gone, and we need to to leave, in the same respect. Floyd leaving this year might be the difference of landing Montravius Adams...

I love Floyd, would love to see him stay 1 more year... But what I would like even more is to see Floyd be drafted in the 1st, make a TON of money, and then land Adams for 3 years... Rinse. Repeat.

I agree I'd like to start churning out 1st rounders and high draft picks again if for nothing else but perception. I'd love for Elam and Floyd and everyone to come back but if they get high draft grades they should go and not risk injury.

[gatordee]

i like the talent I see. Also with another year behind Dillman and and Peace, we will be looking that much better. I would not be surprise to see Purifoy playing some reciever next year.

[tec68]

Doesn't look so bad, PS Jelenai Jenkins isn't leaving early. I don't think Easely is either.

I second that. Dont be surprised if Floyd is around next year too. Just saying.

[Itssaul]

To the OP, I'd say we are looking good for 2013

[Zanso]

Will he really make the leap?

Last time he made a leap he dropped the ball.

But in all seriousness, Reed has a ridiculous amount of potential. He is too raw right now to be a super high draft pick but will definitely get drafted because of his upside. He would really benefit by staying another year though IMO.

[tec68]

Well, this year is almost over. I don't think Georgia loses to Ole Miss or Auburn so the SEC Championship is out. All we really have to look forward to is the FSU game and if we lose that this year will feel just like last year only with a better record.

Wow, I am nominating this as the most ridiculous post of the year.

[Mayhem41]

This post is so bad on so many levels.........

[Taxg8r00]

I know Jordan and unless things have changed since Spring, he plans on leaving after this season. Keep in mind his brother, David Reed, is an NFL player who has an agent. As others have said, he is a little raw, but a lot of NFL teams are interested and he would be drafted in the first 4 rounds on potential alone.

Vary unfortunate for us.

That leaves Westbrook, Burton, Burton( trey will sometimes line up at TE), Taylor and Thompson at TE. I have no idea who would start, or who is the best bet.... I hope we use some 2 TE sets tho bc that's some depth here

the coaches have told some recruits they think Jordan might leave

[gymgator]

I assume Elam, Floyd, Easley (new Dad) and Reed will all jump (read or not).

We have recruited DLine depth in anticipation for them leaving, as we have three players redshirting this year (Williams, McCallister & Cox) and are bringing in three more for sure with Ivie, Riles & Brantley. So we will have the bodies, but anyone's guess at what the quality will be.

Elam will not be replaced as a playmaker or vocal leader, but we have very good SEC quality players in Saunders, Gorman, Showers and depth with Maye & Ledbetter (sp) plus the Freshman Washington & hopefully Harris.

Reed was never really a TE and it is my guess that Bruton could fill in his playmaker pass catching role. Matt Jones could also, as he is an underutilized pass catcher. Hopefully Taylor & Thompson develop more over the Spring & Summer.
Driskel's & the OLine development will be the most critical for the O success.

[deep_threat]

We NEED one of (preferably both) of Montravius Adams or Greg Gilmore. If we don't get one or both of those guys to go along with Brantley I will be very concerned about our talent on the defensive line in 2013. And imagine the trio of Adams, Gilmore, and Brantley a few years from now... good Lord.

[stomp_and_chomp]

We NEED one of (preferably both) of Montravius Adams or Greg Gilmore.

It's Adams. With Floyd leaving, it opens up a spot for him to come in and play beast mode. Pretty BIG shoes for Adams to fill, but I am sure he sees what a dominate defense the Gators can be with that really spectacular DT up front.

Do you still think we land him? Heard his parents accompanied him on his visit to UGA

[GATORAZ]

His mom really enjoyed Athens Mark Richt talked about church and Mrs Ritcht talked about what Georgia brings to the table from a mothers perspective.

[stomp_and_chomp]

Do you still think we land him? Heard his parents accompanied him on his visit to UGA

I believe we still have a very good chance.

Georgia fans and recruitment is running pretty high at the moment... but when Bama crushes them for the 2nd straight year in the SEC Championship game, they'll hit a snag. And at their expense, we'll get a better bowl game... So which team had a better season??

Also, the BBQ Banquet we're holding in December will be less than a week after the SEC Champ game. I know he is coming back for that, but I cannot remember if it was him or another recruit who said he was bringing his parents.

But I definitely wouldn't rule out Adams. Georgia is in the mix... but that's his home state. Clemson, I believe, was in the mix at some point as well, dunno if they still are. Can never rule out Bama, especially when it comes down to a great DT talent in the South.... But I think our chances are a lot better than others. Floyd leaving is such a large factor in this equation.

Also, I wouldn't hold out hope for Gilmore. I like him, would love to have him, but he has always been high on LSU. He was the only recruit who had something positive to say about LSU and how he felt about them... even after witnessing their loss in the stands.

[GATORAZ]

Adams and his mother will visit Clemson before the season is over

[g8r925]

So it doesn't sound all that good for Adams or Gilmore, but anything can and most of the time does happen.

[stomp_and_chomp]

Adams and his mother will visit Clemson before the season is over

But that's something he's been kicking around since before he visited UF. Clemson was the favorite at the beginning of the cycle to land him but the SEC teams have stayed with it.

The sky is not falling with Adams, yet.

I never said the sky was falling with Adams. Adams will probably make a decision at an allstar game plenty of time for everybody to get a word in I just like the fact we are in the race. Rumor is he has one of those "mentors" too so you never know where he will end up.

Oh for sure, not you... Just putting that out there for the average reader. There is still hope. And like you said, just to be in the race is awesome. Because really, out of all of his schools, we are the ones who showed up out of nowhere and jumped ahead of the competition. But watching the Gators beat LSU in The Swamp will have that affect.

[dawny]

Stupid post, we will be ok, did anyone give us a brain fart of a chance this year, what have you been smoking tonight with that post, we are now coming back to swagger.

He would mention Florida but nobody really believed him until he made a visit. Also who expected Auburn to suck so bad this year besides Gus.

[slayerxing]

Replace Elam, Bostic, and Floyd on defense will be difficult. Florida needs to recruit a few more DT's.

Other than that, it looks great.

[thedyc09]

We've got enough beef at LB next year that I'm not too worried about the middle of our defense. Not to mention the type of guys we could be slipping inside for some depth (Bullard, Fowler) have proven so far to be disruptive as true freshmen. Bodes well for longterm development.

[DieAGator]

I don't think the sky is falling but it does hurt to imagine M Adams and Tunsil picking UGA with staff still working hard, hoping to find suitable OL/DL so we don't fall behind in talent.

[socraticsilence]

If Reed leaves do we take a step back on offense?

[gtr2x]

If Reed leaves do we take a step back on offense?

Trying to be funny?

[sec1]

its been a great season so far , but it kills me that we lost to UGA again...

[GATORAZ]

If Reed leaves do we take a step back on offense?

the offense will be better next year even with the loss of Reed Hines and Gilly

[RealGatorFan]

How so? Jones and Brown haven't even got Bama's true frosh Yeldon's stats combined. How can you say they will be better than Gillie when both haven't shown much at all. We all saw what Gillie could do but these 2 aren't even Kentucky-caliber. 215 yards between the 2 of them on 58 carries. 3.7 yards per carry. Yeldon has 754 yards with a 6.7 pyc. Life without Gillie is going to be very difficult.

[RealGatorFan]

Thought Lacy was a senior but he's a junior. I guess comparing Gillie to Lacy won't work here. Yeldon is quickly turning into a quality recruit but Brown and Jones haven't. I really haven't seen anything from Jones. He runs too tall and hasn't shown any speed. He needs to learn to lean a little and use his legs to power his way through tackles. We'll see if the coaches can break him of that habit.

[TnCamoGator]

Life without Gillie is going to be very difficult.

You also have to take into effect bama's monster O line who will all be in the NFL. Our offense line is not even comparable to theirs. And the defenses we face load the box regularly, against bama not so much. I do believe yeldon is better than our jones and brown, however

The major difference will be the Oline next year. The additions of Garcia, Moore, hopefully Trenton Brown will be huge. Add in Humphries with more weight and Chaz Green with more experience. Between Lane, Taylor, Brown and Gillie the running backs will be fine.

[gatorman_07732]

This kind of stuff gives me a headache

[brianobriano]

when you factor in the recruiting class which could end up being one of the best ever, recent juco commits and perhaps a few more pick ups, 2013 could be very very special.

Not that 2012 was way better than I expected (9-3) and I am an OPTIMIST.

[woltes]

I didn't see Easley and Elam on there. I heard they were staying.

[socraticsilence]

Trying to be funny?

Not really, he's by far our best offensive weapon who isn't graduating, he's our only legitimate matchup problem currently.

[beanfield]

will b o.k.

That's nice hope they like running against 9 or 10 in the box since that's what they'll face all year. Honestly I don't think a Muschamp coached team will ever have an offense in the Top 25 much less on the level of any of our championship (SEC or MNC) squads from the past.

[gtr2x]

Not really, he's by far our best offensive weapon who isn't graduating, he's our only legitimate matchup problem currently.

Ok, just checking the sarcasm meter. Btw, I do agree on Reed, wish he would get the ball a lot more. Not sure that will happen even if he stays. Hope Im wrong.

[themistocles]

Every year, every top teams loses key players either to graduation, transfer, or professional football.

Every year, people ask the same question: "Can we make up for the losses next year?"

Every year, the ultimate answer is the same: "Depends on how well new or replacement players perform and how well coaches coach."

Of course, having an easy schedule helps a lot. Frank Broyles, when he was at Arkansas, back in the days of 10 game seasons, always said: "People don't remember the teams you beat, but they always remember the teams you lost to." So, he would always schedule a cream puff non-conference schedule. Now, playing in a conference like the Big 10, Big East, Big 12, ACC, Pac 12 and such, assures that you play a cream puff schedule, unless you have an SEC interstate rival (like FSU, Clemson & Ga Tech).

I'm honestly not sure that the Big 12 is as wimpy as those other conferences, but it is a far cry from the SEC, although Tex A&M certainly did well this year. Of course, if they had been playing in the Big 12 they would have been Undefeated with no game closer than perhaps 20-30 points.

Somebody is always looking to piss on the parade

[whattaconcept]

TELL THE TRUTH, NOW.....

Did ANY of us GATORS really expect to finish our regular season at 11-1????

There's more to our Gators than meets the eye!!

GO GATORS!!!

[gatorsallday]

so yea realgatorfan, still think jones is no good? i think he'll be a factor next year

[trekcid]

Are you kidding me? This is a great young team. Muschamp quote" We will be good for a
long time". He is building a program and a model that will prevail year after year.

No, I surely did not think at the start of the season we would be 11-1 at the end. When you think of our loss to ga, we were the better team... the entire season we turn the ball over 11 times and 6 of those in the ga game (forgive me if my stats are wrong) which was highly uncharacteristic of this UF Team. All that being said, we were very close to being 12-0. Yes, if I were a betting man I would have lost.

I expect to Floyd to leave early and he and Omar will be missed.

DT depth is the only position I am concerned about for next year

[UGator]

It has become obvious that freshmen rarely contribute until strength conditioning and learning plays become ingrained ---that is, overcoming hesitancy and thinking too much instead of knowing and reacting.
Some freshman RB's and WR's can sometimes overcome the usual time it takes for most QB's, OL/DL's, LB's and DB's to develop their skills.
However, on offense, we have 1-2 good wideouts and running backs coming that might overcome the normal tendency of redshirting since they could be really good!

C'mon Gators!

This is clearly the dumbest post of the year. congratulations....
