Napier hits Recruiting Mark that Will Never be Topped

They all seem to be high character guys. Lets hope Napier’s evaluations are on spot.

 

I realize this class isn’t rated top ten but it’s just outside of that and I, for one, think it is a great class. It addresses our biggest needs even though we didn’t land a QB.
Considering the fact that BN had to rebuild our relationship, or at least is in the process of rebuilding that trust, with the high schools makes it even more remarkable.
Changing the culture is in full progress. Go Gators!

 

You nailed it. It addresses areas of need and lays a foundation. We all would have liked more linebackers, but this wasn’t a good class for the position. So, guess what, he has commitments from two of the best for next year!
CBN gets it.

 

Not to burst your bubble, but it has already happened. Ohio State also has a 100% blue chip ratio for 2023. Every player in their class is a composite 4 or 5 star on 247 sports and the one that is not, is a 4 star on rivals.

Bama was in the same boat last year minus a kicker.

it will probably happen more often too…the addition of Ons gives players another shot at being a blue chipper and in addition, in the 2023 class, 446 players are considered blue chips - 4 and 5 stars on 247 composite. In 2010 you had to be rated in the top 350. In 2005, only the top 250 or so were rated 4 and 5 stars. So about 200 more players are now rated as blue chips than about 15 years ago. So more players rated so high means more chance of an all blue chip class.

 

Kill-joy

 

OP is still correct. UF has never done it. 4 star players are the base of a very good team. Next year, we just need to maintain that kind of base while adding a few game changing type players. It's a tall order but getting a vocal QB early should help.

 

I do (somewhat) agree with what you’re saying …and I do realize PD is a pretty big sunshine pumper, though I’m one myself, but you picked 2 outliers. So it begs the question… can you ever be happy?

 

Notice that he said it won’t be exceeded, not that it hasn’t been done before. Just never at UF.

 

Since 2005 it has become increasingly easier to market yourself, as a player, than ever before through various social media, youtube, hudl, 7on7, etc. Perhaps its not that the bar is being lowered or the rankings diluted allowing for 200 more blue chip, but that more top level talent is being discovered earlier and more often than ever.

 

I was mostly referring to the original bold in your post that no program will match the 100% blue chips in a class. Thanks for the additional info.

 

Miss you thousand and something, everybody gets a trophy

 

Ah! I have failed reading comprehension yet again. Lol

 

Youse guys crackin' me up!

 

This is how I read it as well. I don't think spike had any intention to be a downer on that fact. Pretty easy thing to misunderstand.

 

New pic De Big?

 

Many metrics shine on this class. I also put value in my belief that Napier is not just a "star" grabber but actually evaluates talent for his system.

My take - We got some studs with speed at reciever.
We got an impressive D - B Haul.
We got an impressive D Line haul, although I know we needed another D Tackle.
We finished with a decent O Line Class.

Holes? Yes.

Problems? Yes - Still sucking hind tit when it comes to top 50 National talent or top 30 Florida talent. 7th in SEC recruiting if you consider Oklahoma and Texas.

But between the class and transfer portal we have - what 32 new kids coming in?

Foundation has been laid, time to build this thing up!
