Didn’t chime in much on ESD. My $0.02:

Billy Napier is capable of top 5 recruiting results if he can get out of his own way on the field.

Not sure he’ll ever have the bonus of a DJ Lagway again, so need to take advantage big-time in 2026.

Baby steps. Competitive range coupled with a banger portal class and it’s a solid start.

#Gators' recent run in recruiting no surprise to me. Billy Napier always been very good recruiter.

He just struggled when on-field results dimmed vision he's selling. Add DJ Lagway and three-game win streak and fuse is lit again.

He ever really wins big, watch the heck out.

#Gators are now up to No. 14 in the team recruiting rankings. Billy Napier and company have picked up serious momentum, with more dominos still to fall.

Absolutely necessary. Finishing with a flourish.

Nice, it’s a bit quieter over here. Doesn’t seem like everyone is yelling at everyone else.

Quality win for the #Gators over Wake Forest. Not sure the frontcourt is quite as good as last year (though still deep), but the backcourt, my goodness.

Team’s willingness to defend also standing out.

#Gators missing Zyon Pullin a bit today. Some sloppy distribution and some … interesting … shot selections so far.

Trailing Wale Forest 14-7 early and have missed 10 straight shots.

Even if they’d just won the Tennessee game the momentum would be so much different now.

In large part the play of DJ Lagway elevating everyone else. But you also have to credit Billy Napier and his personality, having the guys bought in and unwilling to quit, I think.

Tennessee has been a perplexing team to me this year. I suspect they’re a bit overranked, but it’s hard to be sure.

Lane Kiffin looks … displeased.

#Gators out in front 24-17 with 7:40 left to play. Chance to add some serious momentum going into a crucial period on the calendar.

This #Gators team looks so much different than earlier in the year. Night and day.

Tied up at 14 against Ole Miss.

DJ Lagway with two ridiculous plays shrugging off defenders in the pocket for completions and #Gators march 89 yards to take the lead on Ole Miss after that fourth down stop.

Big time.

#Gators and Rebels have traded series to start the game. Have to love the energy for Florida (and the crowd) so far, but mounting injuries are definitely a concern, particularly in the secondary.

Seems to be happening. We’ll see how well they can close.

The #Gators just announced a 12th straight sellout, set to take on Ole Miss this weekend.

Unwavering fan support.

Urban Meyer accuses Florida State of quitting while defending Billy Napier FOX analyst Urban Meyer accused Florida State of quitting on the season, all while praising Florida and coach Billy Napier.

Urban Meyer threw a barb at FSU while backing Billy Napier and the revitalized #Gators.

"The one thing they have not done like the team in Tallahassee is quit. They have continued to fight."

ESPN’s Chris Low reporting former #Gators coach Jim McElwain will retire at Central Michigan after this season.

More time to craft the perfect barbecue sauce.

Lane Kiffin had a lot of positive things to say about Billy Napier on today’s SEC teleconference.

Seemed to get emotional when recalling Napier’s phone calls after his dad, Monte Kiffin, passed away earlier this year.
