    I see 8 or 9 teams on Rivals with a higher average star rating than the Gators.

    Georgia signed 28.

    Multiply that by 4 years and you come up with 112 players.

    You can only have 85 on scholarship, so something is happening to those players.

    I say we’re ranked 9th or 10th.

    I mean if you're not coaching the players then it's in their benefit to go to a school that can. UFs players and staff are still making the same mistakes as they did against Utah in the first game of 2022 and still can't master fundamental things like lining up, tackling, or wearing correct jersey numbers.

    To add to that the staff changes aren't inspiring.

    The only selling point UF has right now is to be a Gator, which to be honest in 2023s era of attention, selfishness and loyalty to nothing but money isn't going to get it done.

    If I was a 5 star athlete who wanted to maximize my future earning power in the NFL through quality coaching while winning games in cfb, give me 3 reasons I should choose UF over any SEC school save Vanderbilt.

    If my kid had an offer from UF and USC (offensive side of the ball lol) I'd really struggle to make a case for UF outside of personal sentiment.

    Doubly disconcerting because this staff has not demonstrated much ability at maximizing the performance of the less stellar players.

    D J Lagway is on ESPN2 saying he's sent his LOI to Florida and he's looking forward to being coached by Napier.

    2 Losing seasons and 5 straight loses will lose you top recruits faster than you can say yippiekiyeah. Heck, so much of the fanbase has lost hope in BN, it is not surprising recruits have too.

    LMFAO! You guys are such babies... this is recruiting. And yes, we're having a bad day. So why don't some of you guys just take a break from this site and chill out. Auburn could care less about the no contact rules and they scooped up some of our targets. And I don't even care about those kids anymore... gatorbait.

    So, please try to say nice things about the Gator players that signed with the good guys or GYAOTF.

    We're still #3 in terms of commits regardless of whether they flipped. That's pretty good, right?
