@Gator N NC, he can play multiple places, however, due to the coaches son, taking a lot of the snaps this year, he was forced into a WR, WB, & QB. Thanks again for all of the support.

I thought Register was a great QB prospect. What gives?

Thanks for trying to promote my son as he would love an offer from FL as we are big Gator fans here in the Atlanta area.

And to the people who think UF wouldn’t be attractive to receivers because “we haven’t had a passing game in forever!” 1. It’s only been a little slump. It wasn’t that long ago that we were slinging the ball around to the likes of Harvin and Murphy. Now I’m not saying these last 3 years are just ignored by receivers. The last 3 years of ineffective passing is very unattractive to recruits. I’m just saying some people are making it like we haven’t had a decent passing attack since Spurrier coached and that’s just not true. 2. We want to throw the ball more. Everything else is in place and now all we need is the talent at the receiver position. If the coaches aren’t completely dumb (which they’re not) they’re telling the recruits this. This should make UF look even more attractive in the eyes of recruits because receivers get a chance at early playing time and a team that wants to throw the ball more. Now if Muschamp came out and said no we only want to run the ball, and all receivers will be doing is blocking, then I could understand why receivers would want to keep away. However, he hasn’t said that and receivers have been a big focus of this coaching staff so we can get a passing attack back. Now not all receivers are gonna be convinced that our passing game is gonna be back soon, but for receivers like DR, who liked UF and believe they can be that playmaker, then playing early at a school where they are more likely to get a national championship should be more attractive than a school where you might get pushed back on the depth chart and still probably won’t win a title

@KO Reall it’s easier to “cruise to a championship” in the ACC than it is to win a championship in the SEC? Remind me who has won the last 6 national titles (soon to be 7). Clemson may someday be able to make it to the title game (probably not), but there’s no way they beat the SEC champion. Game, set, and match.

@Sean Really?? I’m the “moran”?? First, you can’t even spell morOn! Second, You don’t even know basic punctuation! Third, you have to resort to personal attacks because you have no clue what you’re talking about. So sit down and get ready to learn because school is in session. Lesson 1: Football is a team sport (GASP SHOCKER!). It takes more than just good receivers to win championships. Florida has a complete team and coaches right now to win a championship in the very near future. The only thing we really lack right now is playmakers at the receiver position (this is why DR would play early here), which we are recruiting and developing receivers, and we’ve proven we can win even if our receivers aren’t elite. Clemson, on the other hand, is stacked at the receiver position (which is why DR would probably get pushed back on the depth chart), but the rest of the team and coaches are not up to national championship level. Therefore, UF is much better than Clemson and can compete for national titles, while still giving DR a chance to make an immediate impact. Win-win for DR

How is it odd? Its not like Clemson is Rutgers. If you watch their offense, I can completely understand why a receiver would have interest. Yes, UF has the pedigree and they play in the SEC, but we have not done anything offensively in 3 years that would make our program a magnet for top of the line WR. We’re fortunate to have the 4 we’re getting. Just be happy with that amd we hope we sling it around more this year.

Zach,
Do you think the UF staff goes after Josh McNeil now that he is back on the market? If Jordan Reed departs then UF may need to take a TE for one of their last spots.

Question: Why are you Clemson fans on a Gator page? If you aren’t a Gator fan then you shouldn’t be on here talking about championships that you haven’t won since 1981. Let’s just forget about Robinson and move on to people that want to be a Gator. We will have a great passing game next year so any excuses will be out the window.
