First and 10: Is Florida really that bad? In a word, yes

Poor recruiting and poor development are the biggest obstacles Billy Napier must fix, immediately. On that, plus Georgia's DC, New Year's resolutions, Alabama's o-line and more.

"We recruited with no home base, no foundation of what we were looking for," a former Florida staffer told me. "The prevailing idea from the top down was we're not begging players to come here."

"You know how many times I heard, We'll address that in the (transfer) portal,'" another former Florida staffer told me. "You're the flagship university in the best state (for recruiting) in the country. You don't need the portal for anything."

We talked about it quite a bit in this thread. Mullen’s class rankings looked good at first but if you deep dive into the classes, they fall apart. He had some ridiculous number of guys who either never qualified, got kicked out or transferred before ever even on playing a snap. It reminded me of Al Golden who would manage to pull some 4 star kid late, seemingly out of nowhere, only to find out that nobody else wanted him because he couldn’t qualify.

The Gators finished No. 9 in the nation in 2020, and No. 12 in 2021. But those class rankings are wildly deceptive.

“Both of those years, we were adding guys late that we probably shouldn’t have,” the former Florida staffer said. “We’d lose on guys, then scramble for Plan B’s that may have those stars, but that we knew didn’t make sense for us, and may not make it for one reason or another.”

facts some guys are rated high especially plan Bs who arent that good to begin with. Agree with that 100% since I have paid attetnion to recruiting. Those late adds are usually trash

Any late add should get the side eye from you. I mean, they’re not gonna be all bad, but there’s a lot of shlt that gets swept under the rug for these late adds. A lot of them are character issues to be honest.

I wonder if you gotta have faith. You gotta have faitha, faitha, faith...



"You’ve got to have trust," Pierce said of what the new staff would need to bring that could be a difference between the previous regime and this one.

"You’ve got to have connections. You’ve got to have relationships. You’ve got to be someone. As a leader, you’ve got to be someone that you want to follow. You’ve got to be someone that someone wants to follow. Starting with the interpersonal relationships with everyone on the team is a great way to start – a great way to establish his role as a future leader of the Gators.”



Annnnddd...there's always this too:



“I like him. I can’t say I love him yet but I like him,” Dexter said.
