Let's be honest about who we are.

These are the signing times for our commits who, apparently, are still considering other schools, per Gator Country.com
10:00 A.M.- Defensive line commit LJ McCray- McCray will announce a final decision between UF, Florida State, and Auburn at this time.
1:15 P.M.- Linebacker commit Adarius Hayes- Hayes plans to announce a final decision between Florida and Miami at this time.
1:40 P.M.- Defensive line commit Amaris Williams- Williams plans to announce a final decision between Auburn and Florida at this time.

And here are the signing times of 3 guys they hope to flip:
Florida targets:

1:15 P.M.- Defensive back Gregory Smith- Smith will choose between Florida, USF, Ole Miss, and Virginia.

6:30 P.M.- Running back Jadan Baugh- Baugh will announce between Alabama and Florida.

Offensive lineman Favor Edwin- Edwin will announce between Alabama, Auburn, and Florida.

 

From all I've read, I still think we get McCray, but it's happened in the past that our coaches have been told a guy is signing and then they make a big splash on signing day and put a different hat on. Not often, but it's happened.

 

90 percent of recruiting is tacky attention seeking.

 

Another of our commits to watch for is LB Aaron Chiles from Maryland. He has not announced a signing time as far as I know, but one of the Rivals sites is showing Michigan making a push to flip him.

 

Not very often.

 

Only 90%? I was thinking maybe 99 and change.

 

It is probably for both the families and the high school. They are the ones who want the attention IMO.

 

The right coach, right AD and a a great recruiter who can use the NIL and transfer portal effectively. Oh yeah players who have a sense of loyalty. The NFL ,agents and greed have ruined college football and it'll never be the same again.

We had 3 guys flip on signing day, but got the 2 top-rated players in Lagway & McCray, two guys you can build a team around. Our final composite recruiting ranking, per 247Sports, is #16, transfer signing ranking right now is #38, but hopefully Billy will get some more guys that can help this team immediately. Last year's composite ranking was #13, transfer signing ranking #16, the year before #18 & #20. The last Top 10 classes we had were 2019 & 2020, when we had a composite ranking of #9. To me the scary part is how many SEC school are ahead of us. This year 8 are, plus Miami & FSU.
Also, right now we only have 1 commit for the 2025 class, Alabama has 8, Notre Dame 10, Georgia 7, etc.
