    To tell the truth, it's probably more wishful thinking in this case than anything else.:p

    If you were a QB would you rather plan for an offensive mi d like Kiffin who has a very qb friendly system, or a team like us that is rb friendly?

    Granted AR kinda took away some of the throws due to lack of talent but still, not the most creative offense regardless. Unless he just lives Napier, going to Ole Miss sadly is the better choice.

    Read that it was Sale that flew out to pitch Howard not Napier.

    If we don't hear about an OV in the next day or so, I'd assume that it's probably a dead letter.

    Read an article that stated
    CBN was his 1st ever college offer and he continued to stay in contact long after he committed to LSUg

    I was hopeful right up until I learned Napier did not visit. Either Howard's camp indicated in advance that this was not going to happen or CBN screwed the pooch. I suspect the first. Napier needed his entire offensive coaching staff to accompany him to try to seal this deal. Didn't happen = won't happen. Man this winter is really gloomy. Where can I find a Mertz uniform jersey for this season?

    I totally agree with this take!!! We have to do better than Mertz! Miller and Mertz are not the answer. Last night, I saw communication from a paid source, and they were discussing the topic of Howard coming to UF. Because I couldn't read more, I could only surmise their was the probability. So, I communicated that good news was coming and not what or who. At the moment, I am guarded optimistic that we are definitely in the running. Some are saying they believe he is looking for a good NIL deal, and maybe so. You can not blame him. Right now, however, I can't help but feel we are in the driver's seat. We shall see. We need a quarterback, and I've given up on Rashada being that guy. I don't think Howard would have been visited if the ship had not sailed on Rashada. Go Gators!!!
