Can't wait to see K. Taylor play for the Gators !!

[RepubliGator84]

Hopefully "Run Kelvin Run" is a staple for foreseeable future.

Great overall group

[GatorSean]

Very cool that we get to see another Taylor wearing #21!

Although, dang, that makes me feel old.

#11 is a big time number... hopefully Robinson lives up to it.

[FearNoSpear]

Whatever happened to linebackers wanting #'s in the 50's? I may sound old fashioned but I'm only 31. To me a 51 or a 55 looks a lot better than a 13 on an LB. just preference I guess.

[wci347]

Georgia's backfield wasn't as talented as ours last year. This year it's not even close. Yet they got all of the accolades.

I do not believe the players in college pick numbers according to positions (except offensive linemen of course) anymore like they use to. I am starting to notice this in the NFL also but not nearly as much as college.

Uhh what? Backfield as in tailbacks? I think Gurley is a heck of a player and would start for UF next year.

13 Is good for any spot

[DeBigLeezard]

13 Is good for any spot

That's right!
13 is a mean azz number!

Just ask "Dr. O."
Larry Ochab... that left-handed quarterback who could throw the best spirals since Wayne Peace.

Chad Clifton still has nightmares about #13.

Gurley and Marshall are solid, but Taylor has the ability to be an All-American.

AB was a qb in high school that is where he got his number from. Alex is a good dude.

[theologator]

There ought to be a law.

QB: 1-19
RB: 20-49
TE: 80-89
WR: 1-9, 80-89
OL: 50-79

DL: 80-99
LB: 40-59
DB: 1-39

Or something like that.

And everyone should have their own number.

And why do they need to put first initials or partial first names for guys who have the same last name? THEY HAVE DIFFERENT NUMBERS!

Grumpy Old Guy. Bah.

:-)

[Spleezy]

I'm no UGA fan but Gurley appears to be the real deal.....but UGA has a history of freshmen doing well then falling off.

Yeah, Gurley looked oggd but Marshall...meh.

[tilly]

I know right?!?!

[gatorchamp27]

Good to see them pick numbers and get ready to roll

[15gator05]

Anybody know the official height and weight of the ee's?

[Notoriousgator]

Adam Lane said he's getting #22. (I don't remember if I saw it online or read it but it was an interview with him and Kelvin)

This makes me excited.

Adam Lane getting #22 Gets you excited? What are you? A Catholic priest? Okaaaay. Weird... Lolz. Just yanking ya chain

[UFreak]

You yanking my chain gets me excited. Ha!
I think it is his size and position relative to the best No. 22 to ever play the game that gets me excited. I really, really like what I see of Lane on film. I think he is a VERY special talent. I think he makes an immediate impact.

[G8R92]

What's the big deal about jersey numbers anymore when they hand them out so liberally? Didn't we have 3 guys wearing #4 last year. Floyd and Nixon shared 73. I'm sure there were others as well.

[mikehev]

Looking forward to Mic Hubert once again saying...

"Taylor Made!!!!!"

In Christ forever,

I am trying to remember all the great players who wore #22.

Going waaay back...how about this one for starters:

Steve Tannen

Not as bad as single digit numbers on defensive linemen. Maybe there's a law against being as fast as Jadivion Clowney when you're wearing #63.

Well played lol. People say he plays like Ray Rice. Not sure how true that is though.

Steve Tannen was one awesome player for the Gators! Sadly I think probably don' know about him. I also think of him as a great #22.

[geauxgator1]

Emmitt and Fred in the same backfield and playing for UF...yah, I'm excited.

[oneatatime]

when i was a gator student in the early 70s, they made a big deal about players wearing double numbers, like Nat Moore with 33

[CC4theTD]

Good to see Matt Rolins name on that list. I played against him last year and its safe to say he is the real deal! Glad to have the gamecock decommit on our side

[Jrok79]

Great to hear, tell us more about what kind of player he is.

[CC4theTD]

Great to hear, tell us more about what kind of player he is.

Tall, fast, strong, explosive. All great qualities for a LB. Needs to gain some weight to play at the SEC level. Led Briar Woods HS to 3 straight Va state titles. Unfortunate he tore his ACL at the end of last season.

Word is that he is healing very well. When he first committed, we assumed he would redshirt. He's saying now that he expects to play in the fall. Looks like a Sam (strongside OLB) in our system. That's probably the most wide open LB position going into the fall. Some people predict Matt will grow into a Buck (weakside DE/stand-up LB). He'd need to get around 245 to get on the field, a little bigger to start.

[StrangeGator]

And now we've added the nation's number one recruit (Taylor) to the mix. I anticiapate that Kelvin will lead the SEC in rushing this year.

Gurley and Marshall are solid, but Taylor has the ability to be an All-American.

He wasn't quite the #1 recruit. He needs to win a starting spot for the Gators before he leads the SEC in rushing. He'll be in the mix, but I doubt he starts from day one.

that is not going to happen

[StrangeGator]

Interesting that both of the previously retired numbers, #11 and #55 were picked.

Mentioned it in another thread, but I think it's great that Robinson will be wearing #11. That was Driskel's favorite number last season.

[NoahBeanBizzel]

It depends on what source you go to. Either way, he's 6'1, 225, with reported 4.4 speed. I anticipate that Kelvin will lead the SEC in rushing this year.

The nation's number one prospect will add a nice one-two punch with Jones. There won't be much of a dropoff when Jones comes in to spell Taylor. Also, Strange, we're not even factoring in the combination of size and speed Brown brings to the table. We've also Lane to give us the deepest, most physical group of runners in the country.

I can't wait for the spring time.

I don't think anyone in history has ever mistaken KT for being 6'1". Starting to notice that you like to play fast and loose with facts.

[GATORAZ]

he is not running 4.4's either

[igabradley]

yeah, they used to save double numbers for guys they thought were sure to be all americans

And don't even get him started on the Jesses and the Joes!
