Florida recruiting - yikes

[Mtnvol80]

I wouldn't say they're losers considering where they were. They're just a few spots behind us, with a higher average recruit ranking (barely). We're only ahead cause we signed 4 more 3 stars. 10 thru 20 is a coin flip anyway. Top 5 got most of the elite guys. Rinse and repeat

Napier had almost as highly a rated class as us and he’s been there a few months. Our recruiting really worries me

Nothing has changed then.
Doesent really matter how flashy things are if the talent isn’t there.

Call me whatever sunshine pumper you want, but a big under the radar thing happened yesterday. And I stand by the fact that it will be a new game in town on the recruiting front at Florida.

But, a kid Jalen Farmer from Georgia had been committed to Florida for months. And then two weeks before signing day, he gets a call from Nick Saban and takes an official visit from Alabama. He gets an offer from Alabama.

And he stuck with Florida. That may not seem like much, but I can’t tell you how many guys we’ve lost that were committed or leaning our way and then that call comes from Nick or Kirby and poof, they’re up and gone like a fart in the wind.

If that’s a sign of things to come, that’s a big deal.

But, I think you’ll see Florida safely in the top 10 moving forward with Napier at the helm.

And a lot of the talent to choose from was gone within a week or two of his hire with early signing day

I understand that

I understand that

Me too…historically ESPN’s recruiting rankings are the Fredo Corleone of recruiting rankings.

Nonetheless…0-12.

I’m disgusted to say this but UF offers the major I want to get into with online classes and it’s a good program. I never thought I’d go to school there, but Ill never claim them haha

The fact that you were willing to admit that on this board in the era of cancel culture.

I’ve been a season ticket holder for years, even through the Dooley years. I’m a V4L this is strictly business haha

How is Mizzu recruiting so well?

Five of their top seven recruits are in-state. Then
they were able to land Horn who is a top 100 recruit. I doubt that they’ll consistently recruit top 15 classes under Drinkwitz.

Or bama was full up at 25.... and didnt need or want a fourth lineman who would have been their lowest rated recruit.

This is their 2014 Butch class. Tons of in state talent fell into their lap.

Man did this thread age well for Florida. Florida added a late 2022 commit today. When this thread was started, UF was 70th. After NSD, UF was 19th, but with the addition today, Florida is now 16th overall, 7th in the SEC, according to 247’s composite rankings. UF moved past Auburn, Stanford, and Tennessee on their rise up.

This has been a stunning turnaround for Billy Napier and Florida.

Florida actually passed UT on 247 today. I think the NCAA stuff may be holding UT back a little. That needs to end soon.

If this dude is 220 lbs, then 40 of it is in his head.

Round mound of touchdown?

He had 1600 receiving yards and 20 TD’s as a senior, despite the size of his head.

Good lord man. UF is much easier to recruit to than us. That’s common sense. We have had good recruiting the past 15 years. How has that worked out for us?

Florida always has and probably always will land elite talent. It hasn’t really mattered without coaching. Hell you guys have a cancer right now in that locker room bc your team quit on your coach. Napier maybe the next Saban but I kind of doubt it; I don’t doubt it bc I think Napier is a bad coach but the conference basically chews up and spits out “good” coaches. You’ve got to be elite to stay in conference at a major program like Georgia, Florida, Bama, LSU etc.
