Not really. If UF is the only program in their state, I'd agree that the East has a chance. But Y'all have to compete with FSU and everyone else cherry picking talent.
LSU doesn't have to worry about that because they have the state on lock-down (except for Speedy). Alabama and Auburn recruit themselves at this point.
And Texas A&M, well,
You do realize that of the teams you just listed only Alabama is consistently ahead or even tied with Florida in recruiting right?
That if FSU competes with Florida for recruits being the second or third (behind Baylor- because lets be real Sumlin is at best a poor mans Briles) choice for most Texas recruits isn't exactly killing it?

According to 247sports Composite Ranking (since 2000: when they actually have rankings for players/teams) it is as follows:
Florida
Avg Class Rank = 8.2
Highest = 1 (3 times)
Lowest = 48
LSU
Avg Class Rank = 9.2
Highest = 1 (1 time)
Lowest = 21
Bama
Avg Class Rank = 13.6
Highest = 1 (4 times)
Lowest = 41
Bama's would obviously be much higher if not for a certain down period/probation. But I would say your assertion that LSU's recruiting is not on par with Florida or Bama is incorrect.
