This is a gators tears thread so we should leave it at that, but I will say UF has recruiting momentum in the public eye; despite all that talk about their scummy tactics, they’re landing kids. Ours has faded, and I presume we’re either working in silence or more focused on having an impactful season.
Good thing the slate starts in three weeks where their class (which is still worse than ours despite having more commits) can crumble and ours is expected to surge, contingent on a respectable 9-3 or better record.
Of course they’re going to land kids, every P5 program land kids, especially ones that aren’t in the bottom tier.
This isn’t Kansas, Syracuse, Vanderbilt or even Missouri.
Everybody fills up their slots.
The question is what kind of recruits are they, and what needs do they fill. From my perspective, they’re recruiting to perennial 8–4 (if that) type seasons, not much better than that.
They could have Donald Duck as their coach, and they’d be landing recruits in more or less the same category. Let’s give it a couple years and see if this guy with his G5 staph can even come close to the past two coaches who weren’t world beaters.
