It's obvious what Nape is doing with these recruits...

It stings, it's not fun to look at, but it's almost exactly what he said he was gonna do...He's bringing in guys HE develops a relationship with, not kissing Mullen's recruits butts and promising them things so that they'll stay...Guarantee he told Evers and Gibson a version of "We'd love to have you, but it might be in your best interest to look elsewhere" just seems like the type of thing a man like Napier would do, and it's gonna pay dividends in the end, no matter how much it sucks right now.

I agree, with your assessment and the approach from Coach Napier. Go Gators.

Tells me Napier and Mullen have completely different ways of evaluating talent

Most guys in this class were layups.

Can I be a Gator?
Dan: Sure

Billy going after the guys other top teams want.

Alright this is crazy now. We just now fell down to only 7 recruits with just 3 blue chippers and #76 combined services class which is last # 14 in the SEC. I know there is some players to go for after that early signing day but we have to get this flying up the charts.

I hope Napier isn't foolish enough to think he can act like Saban does after signing before the players even sign. These top blue chippers who don't go to sunbelt schools get their butts kissed by Saban also before they are locked in to where he can send off the ones not good enough.

Coach Nape is more of a "will you fight to be a Gator" kind of guy...that will get us the players we want and need.

Mac n Mullen broke a lot of ppl in here.

Florida should be turning ppl away who they think won’t contribute.
Mullen was saved by the portal, name one commit he brought in whos a game changer.

Napier is working his board of the players him n his team have evaluated.

Diabate has shown flashes and so has Dexter...But yeah, you're right, not one of his recruits in my opinion is an impact player...That's sad.

Marshall has looked okay at times as well, but it's too early to tell.

Notice the guys ya’ll bring up are on defense…

DM delivered zero offensive game breakers. Hell, even AR isn’t a polished QB. EJ couldn’t lock it up with 3 yrs of DM coaching

It's very sad...The guy sold us a bill of goods, thankfully he's not here anymore.

We have an O-Line recruit who is 6'6, 230 lb (Rivals lists him at 260, but his Twitter says he's 230).

A 230 lb O-Line recruit. Bama and UGA average 300+ on O-Line.

That's what Dan has in this class.

Dont be fooled by the Must be a Gator stuff...Jordan Davis the Dawg DL, who hated football and a mon who dropped him at Athens and drove off....he was lost and the training table kept him alive.

I’m just sayin we need players now, not a project who’ll take 2 seasons to bulk up

So far this is a joke. I supported the guy but no coach has done good after a terrible transition class in the rankings. He is scaring me he read his press clippings too much.

It's gonna be fine...We have to be patient...Just keep reading about the staff, or should I say Army, he's assembling, kick your feet up, and trust in Nape.

Chill man

Got a long time till NSD
He’s doing exactly what he said he’d do at his presser. He’s not chasing names with a star next to it. He’s after players who can come in and make a difference
This class will be small, but next year will be top 10 imo once these guys get a full cycle
