    Anzalone and Greenard are pretty decent too. Pitts maybe if he had a quarterback that like tight ends and could get him the ball

    For sure if Ole Miss and OU are Edge deficient they might be offering Kruel a stronger package and Texas perhaps much more. It would just be good to know how much different the offers are over three seasons to compare. Is it a half million, less, more? I'm not sure it's all about money either. Our high level recruits are willing to play for Florida for so much less than other schools offer? Our commits are considered low-balls to other programs so that UF looks pretty good to them? So many questions. Deciding it's only about money and UF offers less than our recruiting opponents is not the answer for me.

    Im sure we pay for what we get overall just like everyone else. Nobody leaves a ton of cash on the table.

    Whether you agree or not, The staff did not want to pay what the JK camp was asking. I think they are all in on KJ Ford.

    It could be the answer, nobody really knows....particularly sports "journalists." I would have to guess that given roughly equal offers, all of the other tangible factors that came into play pre-NIL (including illicit lucre) are how each individual makes their decision.

    I've got a bridge to sell you if you think our loss of Henderson was anything other than money offered.

    For many it would obviously be high bidder. If it were me, id want a competitive deal where i had a path to play. If im the top qb in the nation, you would have to give me a ridiculous deal to get me to come to Florida and sit behind DJ for 2-3 years. Id take a competitive offer to go to a premier school like UF that i had the opportunity to to start year two. No, im not going to a small school for slightly more money and a guaranteed starting spot nor positively getting buried for my first two years. Playing two years and being draft eligible has to carry weight for the majority of the top 300 guys.
