Making the best decision for his future, Percy Harvin will enter the NFL Draft. Again, from ESPN;
Junior wide receiver Percy Harvin is expected to announce later Thursday that he will enter the NFL draft, a person close to him said.
Florida will have to work without Harvin and Lou Murphy on offense, but with Spikes the defense will be dominant [knocks on wood]. And remember, defense wins championships.

Returners
Still plenty of playmakers on offense. Harvin will be missed, but here’s a pretty good receiving corps:
Deonte Thompson
Riley Cooper
Carl Moore
Andre Debose
Frankie Hammond Jr.
Omarius Hines
TJ Lawrence
David Nelson
Not to mention, Aaron Hernandez is among the best receiving TE’s in the country, and Jeff Demps, Chris Rainey, and Brandon James are all legitimate threats out of the backfield or in the slot. Harvin will be missed, but having the leader on defense back is way more important.

Also Moody.
He’ll be a redshirt junior next year, unless he leaves.

Moody?
Moody recorded as many receptions for the Gators this season as I did…0. What makes you think that he is going to be a receiving back this season when we could use Rainey, Demps, or James in that role?

I don't think anyone really said he was going to be a receiving back next season
BS appeared to just mention his name as a “playmaker” since he was not mentioned above. I think that Moody is an outstanding back and he showed it whenever he did get in the game. He was also never fully healthy this season, so I expect a breakout next year from him.

Moody is an NFL-style back who should be able to come out of the backfield and make catches on third down and run between the tackles the rest of the time. If Florida puts Tebow under center at all, we will see more of Moody because he will get that 7 yard head start that Demps and Harvin don’t need because they have an electric first step. I love Demps, but he needs to work on his hands. Brandon James is a better pass catching back than Demps.

I wish
we would run some plays form under center, but that does not seem to be in the plan. However, as long as we continue to win titles, I will live with the couple things I hate about the ofense!!

Thank you for clarifying for me.
bdalebs - January 16, 2009
how can you not mention Nu’Keese Richardson? cmon now! hes going to he awesome, I can really see him and Debose stepping into the Percy role in the offense along with Deonte Thompson. David Nelson will probably take up Murphy’s role.

Okay, right now I can tell that someone will spell his name Newkeys.
Possibly me.

Good Luck Percy
You were a hell of a Gator!
I am also excited about the defense – we are going to be sick.

It was a great 3 years
for one of the best players I’ve ever seen.
Go get paid, Percy.
