High expectations for Debose unreasonable heading into freshman campaign

[O-town Gator]

"The biggest question facing UF's offense next season is how to replace Percy Harvin, and it seems like a lot of people have taken the attitude that, "Oh, Andre Debose will be here next year. It's all taken care of."

Debose, rated the nation’s No. 2 receiver coming out of Sanford Seminole High, has been touted as the Second Coming, but the claims that he’ll shoulder the load Harvin left behind need to be tempered. Maybe he will be the next Harvin — just not yet."

No worse than Percy Harvin is Frosh year.

Debose is going to see some time this year, but it is going to be very limited. Percy did not become Percy until late in his Freshman year but more so in his Sophmore year. Give Debose some time and he will become a great player in his own regard.

^^ I disagree. Debose will not see very limited playing time. He'll play just as much, if not more than Harvin did his freshman season. Our WR position is not as solid as it was in Harvin's freshman campaign.

I agree that our WR's are not as soild as Percy's freshman yr. but they are still pretty good. We still have David Nelson, Riley Cooper, Deonte Thompson, & Carl Moore who I think we still be ahead of Debose because of the experience they all have. ( I know Thompson & Moore have on 1 yr in but that is still experience that can be used).
