The latest GatorCountry podcast is in the form of a mailbag as the gang answers all of your Florida Gators football and recruiting questions that you have following spring practice.

Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre answer the tough questions about the offensive line and who they think will be starting in the fall, plus if the line will be improved over 2015.

Andrew and Nick also break down the running back position as asked, plus they give you some recruiting updates and talk satellite camps in this podcast.

TRANSCRIPT:

Nick:                         What’s going on, Gator Country podcast listeners? Nick de la Torre, bringing along Andrew Spivey for a little mailbag edition of the podcast. Andrew, tell the people what’s up.

Andrew:                 Definitely. We got a big one coming up, and it’s been a big week. Momentum is swinging the Gator’s way for a change. Some cool recruiting edits and stuff going out with draft stuff, and Drake. I didn’t know the Drake edit was out there, but Coach Mac looking over the Swamp, that was pretty cool.

Nick:                         Views will be out on Friday, when you’re listening to this. Check out Drake, I guess. You and I, we both know we are guilt of being long winded, and I’ve got a bunch of questions here for us. So let’s just crack into them. You ready?

Andrew:                 Yeah. Let’s do that, and then we can finish off with some diamond preview, and we’ll recap the recruiting week as well. Fire away.

Nick:                         Two from FDLAT, and from Gator Don. I think these are kind of similar. Who do you see for starting on the offensive line and at running back, and also how much improvement in the offensive line do you expect this year? I guess, we’ll start with who do we foresee as the starting five on the offensive line. I’m going to go left to right.

Andrew:                 I know who you’re not going to go with.

Nick:                         Who’s that?

Andrew:                 Riles.

Nick:                         I think I am…not. No, you’re right. Left to right, David Sharpe at left tackle. Martez Ivey, Cam Dillard, Tyler Jordan, Fred Johnson. Those are my five.

Andrew:                 I guess we’re going to agree, because Sharpe, Ivey, Dillard, Jordan, Fred is the logical starting five. I think barring something wild happening. Is there any way it doesn’t happen? Martez Ivey is back. He’s lifting, and I did find something else out, Nick, that you and I haven’t even really talked about is they went ahead and scoped both of his shoulders. Both of them had been giving him a little problem, and instead of fixing one and maybe having to deal with the next one next year they just went ahead and scoped both of them. Seems like he’s feeling well. I think it’s probably more of a question of who is the first guy off the bench more so than it is of who’s starting.

Nick:                         Yeah. That brings us back to the question of what kind of rotation are you going to have? Last year a very healthy rotation, but you had freshman that you were thinking of these guys are our building blocks for the future. We should get them reps now. They’re not going to redshirt. We need to get them reps. So now that you have more, I mean you had veterans last year, but now that you have those building blocks in place, do you continue rotating? I know you hated the rotation, but do you continue kind of rotating just to keep guys fresh? Where do you go from here, because there are still guys like Sandifer, TJ McCoy. I really thought TJ McCoy looked good. Obviously, we talked about what we saw during the spring, and knowing that’s very limited, but I liked TJ McCoy, and I really liked Buchanan.
