Dan Mullen is at it again - Transfer Portal

[Lawrence Wright]

Too quiet in here. Where are the resident reptiles?

Nothing to report, other than a couple RB targets taking their OV this weekend.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Hoping we can flip the GT commit Gibbs.

Per Uncle Eddie, Gainesville is full

Hopefully they keep Knox far away from them.

And yet another one... Consensus 5-star, former Penn State WR Justin Shorter commits to Florida. Good possibility he’ll be eligible this year with all the “Sandusky/hazing” stuff going on at Penn State.

Mullen now has six 5-stars on the roster, 4 of them gained via the transfer portal:

Tre Grimes, Brenton Cox, Lorenzo Lingard, Justin Shorter, Gervon Dexter, Trey Wingo.

He’s awfully close to having a roster that will have Florida competing for national titles again.

Transfers for a reason. With that many, they better pay off

The last two aren’t transfers.

I know. 4 five star transfers. I can read.

So far they have. In fact, arguably the best players on the team have been transfers; Jon Greenard, Van Jefferson, Adam Shuler and Tre Grimes for starters.

So when the “rumors” start flying it’s usually because someone has jumped out and started doing something better and more efficiently than everyone else. Like the rumors about Georgia “dropping bags” in recruiting or all of Georgia players driving “Dodge Chargers” or all of Alabama’s players driving “Ford Raptors” or all of Clemson’s players getting away with PED usage or Tuscaloosa Police being in Saban’s back pocket, etc.

I’ve said it for months and everyone just sorta dismissed it, but Dan Mullen is ahead of the game with this portal thing. Nobody has added more talent to their roster, and continues to add more talent than Mullen. So naturally, Rival fans and programs will take notice and instead of giving credit, they’ll start nefarious speculation and rumors about how it’s happening.

And watch how it takes off... all the rage will be that Mullen is cheating somehow by landing these portal guys.

Don't know about all them other guys, but Brenton Cox (alledgedly) got kicked off the team for possession of a small amount of weed. He was a contributor as a freshman on UGA's 2018 team, but had fallen on the depth chart going into 2019. He's a baller and will be a beast next year if he stays healthy. I don't think Mullen did anything nefarious. Cox had a ton of big time offers. UF turned out to be a good place to fall. I'm glad he has another chance. He has the tools. If he develops as a player, he will make a lot of $$$.
