Florida kids aren't die hard loyal to Florida schools. It's much different than Georgia kids where most of them are indoctrinated to go to UG from the time they are born. Some of it is cultural and some of it is because we have FSU and Miami to share fans with.
It sucks but it is what it is. We get very few die hard Gator fans to commit any longer.

I wish that was true about Georgia kids and UGA. It's really not any different than Florida kids, especially the Atlanta kids

????? Road...have you followed recruiting? Georgia recruits leave in huge numbers out of state...to UF, Bama, AU, USC, UT etc etc. They have lost a lot more talent than we have.
Quite the contrary, UF has a LOT of fervent Gator fans in high schools since we are the state flagship. We lose some Gator recruits due to positions being full or the system not suited for their talents etc etc. What you don't hear is that often Gator coaches actually stop recruiting some kids because of attitudes and other issues. Then fans think we lost out on Johnny Hotshot when actually we didn't want him. Next thing you know he is kicked off some other team or arrested.
