1 - Florida will win the SEC - If they do that they'll be in position to win another Title, it's the even year thing so it's time for Urban Meyer's third one. Think the Gators might lose at Alabama and get them in the rematch in the SECC. As mentioned Meyer's big seasons at Florida come in the even years, 2006, 2008 and well you do the math. Not a huge prediction here the Gators are loaded.
2 - John Brantley will be the All-SEC QB, if he doesn't make it McElroy had a great year. Believe this is going to be a huge year for the Gators throwing the ball. Way too many weapons. This is in no way a stretch of the imagination. It's either McElroy or Brantley they will have the advantage of being on the two best teams in the SEC. Brantley will be the best QB in the league in this man's opinion.
3 - Ian Silberman ends up becoming a starter on the offensive line midway through the season if not earlier. Silberman is an outstanding lineman, he just might be too good to keep out of the lineup. He will most likely be 300 lbs this fall, he has the talent to be one of Florida's best and play many seasons in the NFL. Silberman has perfect body position to get the most out of his dam near perfect body. He has the proper bend at the knees and angle in the back, he squares up quickly and nicely, he has long arms, powerful legs and quick feet.
Silberman reminds this man of Jason Odom and David Williams. They all had that flawless form coming in. Odom ended up starting as a freshman along with Reggie Green. Williams was tremendous as a true freshman but redshirted none the less because of the Great Wall of Florida in 1984.
This is a great line in 2010 it could be another Great Wall if Silberman ends up starting.
4 - A true freshman ends up starting at cornerback. Joe Haden started as a true freshman, a year later Janoris Jenkins came in and did the same. This season Janoris will slide over and take Haden's weak-side duties while the Gators look for someone to replace his cornerback position.
Logical bet would be on either Jaylen Watkins or Cody Riggs this fall. Could be Riggs, the link between Jenkins and Haden is they were the quickest guys in their recruiting class. That might give Riggs the edge.
Watkins is extremely talented. So is true freshman Joshua Shaw. Of the three Riggs, Shaw and Watkins I'd bet on Watkins. He has nice size and that great skill set you're looking for, he's a baller.
If something were to happen to Janoris a kid like Shaw might work the weak-side he's really physical.
Moses Jenkins and Jeremy Brown will provide the competition for the three new guys. Brown has the best shot to edge the freshmen out but has been hurt his first two years at Florida with chronic back issues. Moses will not part the waters, he has great size but lacks great quickness and instincts.
Because of Brown's health issues and Adrian Bushell's request for transfer this prediction of a true freshman starting this season isn't that far fetched. Have heard a report that Bushell was granted a transfer but there has been no news on it since the end of spring practice. Some still hold out hope that he is trying to work his way back on the team.
If that doesn't happen there is a very good chance the Gators will end up starting their third true freshman in a row.
