Are Florida Gators WASTING Millions on 5-Star Recruits?!

I don't care to see you. Here's my thing, though, kind of to push back to that. And I don't, because this is a little bit of a preview to our GM show, right? And I love Dallas. I love EB3s. I don't have an issue with keeping them. But look at your top impactors, okay? Yep. Two wide receivers. Most of its wide receivers and running backs. I feel like that position, in my opinion, is much easier to translate. Okay? What I mean by that is, like, and these guys, these wide receivers you just mentioned, are very expensive. And this is where you want to, like, oh, Sean, you're an a-hole. You want to do this. Let's have a real conversation. Because if we want to talk about it, those two guys are expensive. And my theory is, like, look, those guys are good if you've got everything else going well. Those are cool pieces that look good on paper and you talk about having a five star wide receivers and makes talent competition work. It don't mean ---- if you can't give them the football. So, and I said this last night, go look at Georgia's wide receiver class. You're not writing home about it. You're not getting all excited about it, but they can catch football and they've got great tight ends. They can run the, they can run the hell out of football and Gunnar Stockton has all day to throw. I, I, I, I watch him. I mean, I was like, I could probably look, I could probably look like an all-star behind that offensive line. Yeah, I would even apologize, too, because Georgia is good. Yeah, they really could. But I said that since the beginning. This was, in my opinion, their best team they've had. I've said that all offseason. They've had it three years. So it's living up to those expectations. I don't know what happened at Auburn, but that's beside the point. Point. My point is, it's much easier to go and get a freshman. There's three wide receivers, I think, right? Yeah, there's three freshman wide receiver on this list, including a running back. So that was what I was even saying when we kept Jaden Ball. Like, yes, I loved Ball. I was excited that he came back. I was like, this is going to be an expensive body that I believe you can find maybe at the exact same level of production. Who were your three best backs that were supposed to come back last year? Do you remember who? Come back to what, college football? That came back. That were the highest paid people running backs in college football of all time. Do you remember who they were? Jay Ball? Yeah. James Ball had to be one, yeah. Um. Trying to even think. Oh, Ahmad Hardy? Oh, yeah. And I'm all for it. Three of them may lick. Now, two of them dealt with... One got shot. One's been hurt. Did you see him run to the field, bro? I mean, talk about the only take that we had right, and it sucks that that was a take that we had right. That guy is never going to play again. That guy is a shell of himself. If even that. And it sucks. That was the one thing we probably were right on our offseason takes, which is horrible. I hate that. That's my thing is like when fans look at that, like, oh, we can't get rid of this. It's like, dude, these five-star like little shiny players aren't doing us a damn thing. And it's not, I'm not, I'm not blaming them. I'm not, this isn't, this isn't a projection, but we can't give them the ball. So it doesn't matter how good they are. Are we, are we wasting money with Easton Royal right now? Probably. I said that when we recruited him. Should we have went after Brewster or went after the offensive tackle for Texas A&M? Absolutely. Brewster's, I mean, look, BB3 and Royal are a little bit of a different scenario because of the position they played and how twitchy they are. They're like a Malachi Tony. Oh, they're clicky. I'll keep going. Those guys are a bit different. Well, I'll wait for them to come back. But I know the chat might be like, I'm crazy, I'm an idiot. Those guys are kind of like, look, can be like a Malachi Tony-esque-like, which that position is more utilized. So I feel like those guys are a bit of a difference. You're big time, big wide receiver. Yeah, I'm back. I'm here. I didn't lose you. Yeah. Did you hear that question I asked? Yeah, I did. I was kind of trying to drag it on so you could hear it. To me, an Eastern Royal and a Malachi Tony are a bit different only because they're those twitchy guys and especially how your offense is being ran nowadays. You're somebody you can double it off to. They're like a pacifier. That one I am a little more excusable with because of how you can utilize them. These big guys you throw outside are much harder to throw and if you don't have a quarterback that can get it there. So it all just depends. Like, if, hey, you go get Eastern Royal. Like, if you keep Eastern Royal, Dallas Wilson, and VB3, that's $6 million, dog. Yeah, it's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. And if you can't go get a quarterback and an offensive line to block to get to any of those guys, none of it means anything. Let me ask you this. Stockton's pretty good, right? Probably minus BB3, he's the most successful receiver we have. I would say Bailey Stockton. I thought you were talking about Gunner. I was like, what? No, no, no. Bailey's a dog, too. He likes playing football. We're not paying him three million. Are we wasting our money going after a five-star wide receiver instead of putting that money to the offensive tackle? Yeah, I've always – I said it in the last GM show. Or Brewster that you know is – I mean, no guy is perfect in a – that guy is as close to Colin Simmons that I've seen on film since Colin Simmons came out. But just saying, like, defensive line-wise, he's going to be that dominant. Are we wasting money with Royal? You know, if you don't have an offensive line, what, are you going to tunnel screen them to death? You need to build from inside out. I say it all the time. We love to talk about the guys that win the Heismans, but the guys that really make the true team go is the guys in the trenches, and that's the God honest truth. You can't block anybody. Those guys don't get nothing. The unsung heroes, and you're right. You need to build with your offensive line. The costs that, again, are going, it's not even just the wide receivers. The other room we spent a ton of money in was cornerbacks, right? Which is another, it's kind of the same thing. Yeah, DBs. And the other room is the quarterback room. I mean, Will Griffin wasn't cheap, dog. We spent four or five million dollars in quarterbacks. Yeah, we do, and it's like, it's all like multiple people, so there's like, oh, there's depth there, and it's like, hell, I mean, we kind of, and here's the thing, I think when we get into this Ohio State game, everyone's like, oh, it's the quarterback. Luke Fahey ain't the problem, boys. I'm just going to tell you right now, I watched that game. I was kind of impressed. I mean, did he have his moments? Sure, but you can't give up 41, big dog. Okay, that's, and you rushed, you rushed them off our 53 yards. I mean, let's not blame it on the kid, all right? I mean, Jeremiah Smith still had 170 yards. They just couldn't stop a nosebleed. You're putting up 41 points. I was, again, was Luke as maybe as sound and as complete as Julian's saying? No, but do I think that he completely took his team off the rails? I don't believe that either. I know I'm a little sidetracked here, but going back to the point of like, Feeling pretty good about our guy Micah Alejandro from Hawaii. Then we've got, of course, King Miller with USC getting some rush touchdowns. I know we don't like FSU around these parks, but I think Ashton Daniels is going to use a little legs in this upcoming week for some nice football to get him more in his rushing yard.

They have a five-star guy in the balance, so there's ways to go about it. Look, we're kind of already previewing the GM show, but... We, we had these talks. Like, this is one thing that I was kind of high on already. I was, I was very like adamant of like, Hey, I would be okay with letting Ball walk because of what we needed because he's going to be expensive. Now, as the season started, I was like, I'm so glad we kept him. And I did, I felt that way. I was like, maybe, maybe, maybe I was wrong. Well, now here we are. And it's like, okay, maybe, you know, I don't know. I don't know what happened, but it's. When you put all of your eggs into that basket, the expectation for him, you know, that was everything. And so now that's not working. It's like, yeah, everything else is starting to be exposed. That's the problem. Look, it's going to take a ---- ton of money. And that's the part I don't know where Florida is at. That's the thing.
