I wish this dang game would start already. I want Miami to beat the snot out of Florida but think the reverse is more likely. That said, I'm tired of waiting. GIVE ME COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!!!

Is Miami's defense that bad? Why do y'all have FL scoring so much?

Pretty dang elite, at least the past couple years. Diaz is great at defense. That said, Mehlen is equally good at playcalling offense. Should be interesting.

I'm more worried if Miami offense can score. They flopped against decent defenses past year. 3 points in their bowl game vs Wisconsin.

Pollack and Doeren are definitely awful, Doeren is the worse of the two.

But I still think Desmond Howard takes the homer cake. Delusional.

Tbf, they were 1 game from the playoffs. But you know what you get from Desmond. I would hope if Peyton was on there and we were top 10, he'd predict us to be in the playoffs too. They aren't journalists. They're on-air personalities. Grain of salt and all that.

I wish we had a homer on SEC Network or ESPN. They could hire Brent Hubbs and he would probably take a dump on us every time they brought up UT.

Not homers, but for grads we have: Gene Wojciechowski , Finebaum, and Ryan McGee (slight homer/nostalgically UT grad).

Just looking at the calculator again..

With "locks" of Hardy, Baron, Arik, and Whitehead, this puts us at:
19 commits
253.12 points
Good for 9th nationally based on current commitments
5*- 1
4*- 9
3*- 8 + the LS

PosGrp | 5* | 4* | 3*
QB | 0 | 1 | 0
RB | 0 | 1 | 0
WR/TE | 1 | 0 | 1
OL | 0 | 1 | 2
DL | 0 | 4 | 0--you could probably move Baron to LB if you want to be technical
LB | 0 | 1 | 0
Sec | 0 | 2 | 2
ATH | 0 | 0 | 2-- Calloway and Williamson will likely wind up at WR

Still light on LB, and we'll want one more RB and WR. Then we can take a couple/few swings at the best available.

So we keep after Rakim, Smalls, Omari, Eason, Beckwith, and Oxendine.
Here's where opinions are like a**holes and everyone's got a different combo. None of us know what could happen this fall with W/L records, HC firings, and position coach/coordinator churn.

I'll say we land Smalls, Beckwith, Thomas, and Oxendine. And Noah Sewell so buff Jesus @AaronUT won't kick my ass through the computer screen.

This puts us at 24 commits
283.94 points
Good for 4th nationally based on current rankings (probably get overtaken by UGA, Texas, and maybe Auburn and ND if they don't fall apart)
Would definitely be top-10
5*- 3
4*- 10
3*- 10 + the LS

PosGrp | 5* | 4* | 3*
QB | 0 | 1 | 0
RB | 0 | 1 | 0
WR/TE | 1 | 0 | 1
OL | 0 | 1 | 2
DL | 0 | 5 | 1-- you could probably move Baron to LB if you want to be technical
LB | 2 | 1 | 0
Sec | 0 | 2 | 2
ATH | 0 | 0 | 3

And we could still find a fine RB to add depth and potentially boost us into the top-10. Funny enough, both 2019 and 2020 would have the same star make-up: 2 elite players, even split between blue-chips and 3*s.

I know nothing about Miami. I don't expect Fl to finish a top 10 team. But Mehlen is a decent coach. This is Diaz's first season as a head coach and they weren't very good last year. Not a great recipe for a first game against the gators imo unfortunately.

That said... go canes!

Pruitt’s first year was a mixed bag to me. There were some improvements for sure, but he lost that team to end the year and they quit on him. There’s no evidence to say that’ll happen again - but there’s no evidence to say it won’t either. We won’t know until we see it either way. Mullen has had teams play hard for him 10 years in a row. He’s proven himself to be a good coach. I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

I just remember this time last year both Tennessee and Florida were coming off 4 win seasons and were breaking in new head coaches. The narrative here was the rosters were very close and that we should be able to beat them in Neyland. Well, that didn’t happen. They skull-****ed ya on the way to 10 wins. We crawled to the finish line with 5 wins.

After those results, the narrative flipped and it became “obvious” that florida always had the superior talent. Maybe they did. But that roster isn’t twice as good as ours. Mullen got the results, Pruitt didn’t.

Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a guarantee Mullen will outperform Pruitt for the next 5-10 years. But the evidence leans in that direction until we do something to flip the script. Hopefully that begins this year.
