Losing Sorrey was probably the biggest, most disappointing “miss” far as I’m concerned: We have playmakers galore here and/or on-their-WAY, especially at QB (Kitna, for eg, is rumored WAY under-rated at “3-stars”—mostly a function of playing in “the wilderness” of less-well-regarded competition “out in the Texas NW panhandle and plains”, he has nonetheless gained a kind of hard-charging notoriety for his supposed prodigious talent throwing, running and thinking, improvising while he does it ON THE RUN—Son of a player and Coach, he’s exactly the kind of QB that our Head Coach has himself gained a reputation for raising up and making great leading a high-flying offense—so we need freakish OLs to run, think and PERFORM WITH HIM...Sorrey looks like one of THOSE rare “blindside standouts”, so that may be the one undoubted “whiff”, difficult to fill.
You nicely minimize the reasons why the rest is much less worrisome: For example, I personally have VERY little concern, regret or indeed understanding, desire or sympathy for anyone who could commit to UF, then de commit and join MIAMI, of all programs, after one late-in-the-process weekend partying with the corruptible, partying loudmouths in Coral Gables...I know the type—knew them WELL in my day, and BELIEVE ME: You are either one, or the other.
