Make it 4 members of the 2019 class that will never play a down for UF (plus the tidbit below). Deyavie Hammond to JUCO today.

Four-star wide receiver Arjei Henderson (No. 140), four-star OL Wardrick Wilson (No. 372) and three-star WR Dionte Marks (No. 489) are still not enrolled and are hoping to do get cleared for fall after being unable to make it in for the Summer B semester.

Yeah, well, we probably still can't beat'em even when they're a no talent team. We lose to'em again this year so nothing changes even if the whole football team is ruled unable to qualify in that regard.

He says 0-12 to make light of it. But 4-7 players from your 9th ranked signing class not making it to the field is an issue. Let’s say they only lose out on one more. That’s 5 guys from the 9th ranked class gone. Drops the class to about 20th+ on 247.

The 4 that they've already lost are all 4 stars and they could potentially lose 2 more. I wouldn't call that 'no big thing'. It reminds me of Fulmer's first class in '93 which was highly touted but 7 players were ruled ineligible, including some big fish: Leonard Little, Travis Cozart, Juran Bolden.... it really stung.

Florida lost 5 undergrads to the NFL as well. That has some kind of effect as well.

Depth is what is effected. Steele would’ve started or been heavy in the rotation. Clearly so would the Juniors that left. They are very talented in the starting lineup with the exception of the OL

Another note. With the transfers of Clayton and Langham I only count 9 scholarship DL on the roster. Depth could be an issue there.

I'm tempted to shift Florida over to the "winnable" column, but after last year's cluster f***ing s*** storm in Neyland, I just can't bring myself to be even be remotely optimistic.

No kidding. Thinking about how absolutely inept in every possible way we were in that game still makes my blood boil. The absolute low point had to be when our kickoff returner called a fair catch, AFTER CATCHING THE DAMN BALL!!!

Including Juniors that left early from last year's squad these are the players that were on last year's roster that will not suit up for the Gators this year.

Khairi Clark
Fred Johnson
Cece Jeffersson
Martez Ivey
Tyler Jordan
RJ Raymond
Jawaan Taylor
Jachai Polite
Chauncey Gardner
Vosean Joseph
Jordan Scarlett
Brian Edwards
Kylan Johnson
TJ McCoy
Antonneous Clayton
Malik Langham
Rayshad Jackson
Daquon Green

In addition to these players the Gators have lost 4 members of the 2019 class. 3 players from the 19' class are still pending acceptance.

I have a hard time seeing how this roster is better than last year.

Of those, the three that hurt most to lose are Polite, Gardner, Joseph (except for the penalties), and Scarlett.

We are fine at RB. Defense we will have to see.

I added more names that were not included on my original post. I think the OL has substantially downgraded as well.

We have had a lot of prior discussion about that here, about a month or so back. I believe that the consensus amongst Florida fans is that we are losing experience there, but the last few classes of Oline players hat UF have underperfomed. The new group coming in will hopefully be stronger and a better fit for what we want to do than those who are leaving. There may be a temporary drop in our execution there, but hopefully they will catch on quickly.
