    It didn't take too long for Hill to commit. Hill ranks as the #259 player in the 2023 class and the #38 DL. Final 4 were UF, Miami, FSU and Auburn. Hill wasn't the only commitment that the Gators got over the weekend as the #1 ranked long snapper for the 2023 class Gannon Burt committed as PWO.

    Good observations. I, too, am in wait and see mode. However, comparing Saban, Myer, and Smarts second class to CBN's is apples and oranges. All three of them didnt have to do it in a completely uncharted environment (NIL) where evaluation , relationship, persuasiveness, and salesmanship are almost entirely nullified by cash....

    How would those guys have done in their first full recruiting cycle at a new school, under these circumstances? Saban... maybe decent considering his LSU accumen. Smart... not sure? Meyer... not sure either?

    Not recruiting related but, it seems like Marcus Burke wasn't cut by Napier as originally was reported. Also Chris Howard has transfer to Memphis U.

    There are reports this afternoon that OL Roderick Kearney committed to FSU half an hour after his OV with the Gators. The Gators made the top 10 cut for 2024 Tampa's CB Tavoy Feagin.

    That would be a great core to build on if we got them and got them soon (unlikely), but I am not even sure that LeBlanc is any kind of lean to us now, or John Walker or Ja'Keem Jackson, though I would love all of them.

    The talk is that John Walker may be Ohio St bound.

    He will feel right at home there because he will have as many Florida recruits around him as we currently have in our class.

    Shane Beamer did just tweet that he just got out of an interesting meeting. Sounds like we are about to find out where actually stand this week. Not looking good though.

    Missing on Howard would be beyond a miss.

    Just add it to the list. Probably not going to land any of the Jacksonville kids or Polk county.

    Is it Napier not able to close deals or money?

    our Gator Collective responded last night in a written statement accusing Rashada's agent/attorney of bald face lying.

    Which would negate the rumor that his daddy laughed at our offer.
