I told you guys that some coaches prefer to have all their fireworks on NSD. You could see this florida NSD haul coming from a mile away and people still acted like he was going to fail this year in recruiting.

It's certainly better than Ole Miss' class, but it's still the third ranked class in the state of Florida, behind FSU and Miami. I can't imagine Gators are pleased with that, but it's a good class. Still, I'm kinda surprised when UF doesn't finish top 10 considering their resources and in-state talent pool

We lost every major battle against Bama this year. FSU is going to kick our teeth in until we can recruit better.

I would be livid with this class if I was a UF fan.

why is that?

They're coming off back to back east titles and yet have a 14th ranked class with zero 5*

It's not the worst class ever or anything silly like that, but I mean you're acting like they're knocking on the door of a top 5 class

It's an OK class but unspectacular.

We're going to finish with about 22 commits and 3 of them are kind of Plan C/Plan D reaches. It's hard to figure how we couldn't find 25 quality prospects to fill the class.

We whiffed on every elite 5-star prospect. This is where our coaching staff needs to step it up. This class would be much better with a Leatherwood or LeBryan Ray in it. Maybe we need to stop choosing to fight Bama for our top targets.

This is the 3rd consecutive season without a Top 10 class. If you are a Power 5 school in the state of Florida, this is an embarrassment.

Florida's latest recruiting classes ranked like this:

2015: #21
2016: #12
2017: #14 (as of now at least)

Zero Top 11 classes in 3 seasons.

Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and Auburn have all four COMBINED to have just 3 classes fall outside the Top 11 since 2009! Between those four teams, that's 36 total classes... 3 finishing outside the Top 11.

Auburn's 2009 class was ranked #23
LSU's 2012 class was ranked #12
Georgia's 2013 class was ranked #12

Every other class since 2009 for these schools (and ALL of Alabama's) have finished in the Top 11.


Florida has had 3 consecutive outside the Top 11 all by themselves just in the last 33 years.

Considering the fertile territory, this is honestly unbelievable.

Florida should have top 10 classes every year

LSU, FSU, and UGA, teams that Florida plays every year all have a top 5 class and Florida can't even crack the top 10. Gators are fricked.

Actually, I make fun of his teeth, not his recruiting.

He still has work to do. No excuse not to have at least 1 top 5 class here when both Zook and Muschamp did.

Class is still shite. A top heavy team standings allowed a subpar class to be ranked much higher (10th) than it normally would be. Class wouldn't have been top 15 in 15' or 16'

Kirby will own him in the coming years if he doesn't start getting comparable talent

UF has been a recruiting power since recruiting services have been around. 10-15th is usually a down year for UF, shite 5-10 used to a let down.

< 250 pts is where a USCe or Miss State program typically hangs out, not a national brand like UF.
