    SEC East is so interesting, as Muschamp said re: Florida, 15 of top 16 tacklers return, 70% of roster last year was underclassmen

  • Muschamp said the front end of the schedule is crucial. Said we didn't play well in the last game in the Swamp, and we didn't coach well.

    Alli should be cleared by middle of camp.

    Brown fractured his wrist and is having surgery today, should be cleared Sept. 1.

    Powell cleared for all weight-room activities and straight-ahead running.

    Maye will be cleared for first part of training camp.

    On Powell: "He'll play for us this year, when I don't know yet."

  • A.C. Leonard will transfer. He had a set of criteria to meet to get back on the football team. Not sure where he's headed yet, Muschamp said.

    "He needs to move on."

  • Muschamp says McCray and Bostic have both shown work ethic it takes to be successful in this league.

    TG, do you think a tight end might be a priority for 2013 class now?

  • Prediction: Muschamp will say almost twice as many words in his session as any other coach here. He's freaking flying today.

    That was my point.. We have heard this whole time Ropo is ahead of schedule, but him being able to start lifting weights is the 1st REAL sign we've got that he is indeed ahead of schedule.

    But what exercises has he been cleared to do? If "he's been cleared to lift weights" means only upper body, then I would say that means nothing. If Champ means, the medical staff has cleared him to do Olympic style lifts, that is huge!

    Honestly, I think the productivity of McCray will determine how quickly the staff throws Powell out there... If McCray is tearing it up, let Powell wait until October when he is 95-100%. If McCray is not, throw Powell in to the fray as soon as the medical staff gives the thumbs up.

  • Muschamp said McCray will play both sam and buck, and he said Neiron Ball is the real wildcard at sam. Sounds like they're hoping he can contribute some this year at the sam spot.

  • Muschamp has a lot of praise for Texas A&M and Missouri. Mentioned that they're very tough to prepare for in terms of offensive scheme. He said Missouri and Texas A&M are both very different from what they're used to seeing in the SEC. "Video game numbers."

    Stoked! Really rooting for Neiron, after all he's been through

  • Muschamp counting on Ball and Kitchens to really lock down the sam spot so McCray can play the buck until Powell gets back.

  • Muschamp asked about the talent in Texas in terms of recruiting. First thing he does is praise the recruiting base in the state of Florida. He said the job's a little easier because they have such a great recruiting base.

  • Muschamp talking about how the Brantley injury really crippled the offense from a confidence standpoint, which really affected the entire football team. Couple that with the lack of depth on the offensive line, and he said that was one of the toughest aspects of Year 1 as a head coach.

    He said he's much more equipped in Year 2 now that he's had a year of stuff rolling by his desk and he's used to it. Mack Brown told Muschamp when he asked if he was ready for a head coaching job: "You're not."

    Point he's making is you learn on the job. Everyone does.

    "You've got to work yourself into the job when you get there."

  • Muschamp: "It's a huge advantage for a kid to enroll in January, but that's got to be something they want to do."

  • Muschamp said he doesn't know which freshmen will contribute.

    "When we start practicing, I'll figure all that out."

  • Muschamp asked about the turmoil at Georgia. Basically said he's not worried about Georgia, he's just worried about preparing his team and getting ready for fall camp.

  • Getting Mike Gillislee quotes on my recorder on the stream while Muschamp's talking, also working on a story on the Leonard transfer. Whew, gotta love SEC Media Days.

  • Muschamp talking about the Florida-Auburn rivalry and how Steve Spurrier and a lot of former players have mentioned that losing that rivalry to once every 12 years kinda stinks. That said, he doesn't really favor going to a nine-game schedule. Thinks that would be really tough.

  • Reporter: Florida has not had a losing season since 1979.

    Muschamp: "Yeah, I was told a couple times."

    Didn't sound thrilled about the start of that question. lol

    Lol- Idk how you could not like this guy. So much more personality than Meyer but smart enough to stop short of a Spurrier.

    Glad he's our coach.

  • Muschamp said they don't have a lot of social media rules, but they do monitor. They ask players not to talk about any football business on there, but the main criteria is not to embarrass themselves, the university or their families.

  • That's all from Muschamp for now. Will continue with notes from players and when he gets to the other podium if he says anything more interesting.
