Tbh this is a gator years thread..so no positivity belongs here in their front (I learned the hard way) that said your absolutely correct. Napier is doing a good job given what he took over. Word is cuckhold Mullen was asleep at the wheel when it came to recruiting for a few cycles up there..and Napier is fighting a uphill battle getting that recruiting rolling..I think they’ll sign a 12-20 type of class this cycle..and Mario will **** on that. The delusion of their fan base and those in tally about what Mario is doing rn is amusing…Mario had a huge foot print out west and is continuing that..he about to build a foot print on the south east now. We are on pace for a legitimate top 5 class year 1

Yeah, he's not doing a good job though. He drove off half the talent in last year's class, and he's lost a ton of guys this year. With the guys they were sure were leaning their way, he's got a great class. But instead, they're losing guys left and right, and it's only going to get worse. Billy has literally missed on every kid they've supposedly been in it for over the last several months. They're done, they just don't know it yet.

Gater ends up #20 at best.

They are not recruiting any better than Mullen did. Not sure where he doing a good job comes from lol. They getting bodied for players by UCF, SC and all manner of teams. I don't even know uf they are better than FSU, who been bodying them head to head and Norvell sucks ***

From my perspective, and I believe objectively, he’s not doing a good job recruiting, so he’s not doing a good job at all.

I don’t know where you get the idea that he’s doing a good job - if you could point to something specific, that might be helpful.

I’ll point to this: as was mentioned in another post, and as we all know, he blew up his recruiting class when he came in for absolutely no reason. Being a good coach is about making good decisions, and he’s made some horrible ones, including that.

I mean..who says that we’re “supposed too” land prospects. Ngl that sounds like Miami fans for the last 10 years. You have to close the deal and have everything in order. Idk where you got the idea he drove off guys last cycle. if I remember correctly he closed on 2 top 100 guys at safety and LB. That class was in the 40s or something ( similar to ours) and finished 17th. I’m just going off National rhetoric and according to plenty of ppl who follow UF recruiting Mullen was literally doing the bare minimum when it came to recruiting and Napier and staff has been tryna build relationships. And based on Napiers rep on the trail at Clemson and Bama I know he’ll get some good talent up there ..lol like I said I don’t want to fall in the same trap I did before. I understand this is a gator tears thread so at the end of all that..**** em

You weren’t reading this thread or you don’t have a good memory then. He required guys who were committed and good players to send a video explaining why they wanted to be gators along with new workouts on them in order to keep their offers upon his approval - right before signing day. It cost him Evers, Gibson and 2 other of his better commits right off the bat and he didn’t replace them with anyone better.

Classic amateur overvaluation of the strength of himself and his staff - mainly their resume - along with the gator brand. It was negligent

He closed on 2 top 100 guys last cycle who were leaning else where according to experts. Mario did similar things and we gave him credit..if we are having a objective convo then I give Napier credit for that. When he took over that class was outside the top 25..closed at 17..so far this cycle he’s got a top 25 class..and going of what ppl in the industry said about Mullen recruiting was a mess when Napier took over..No he’s not doing what Mario is doin right now.. Mario is pulling off elite **** rn..but idk how you objectively can say a coaches decisions have been horrible when he took over what? 6 months ago..I think it’s too soon to make that assessment..but going off what Napiers reputation is around cfb **** get talent..he did it at Clemson when Clemsonsoning was a thing..did it at bama ( I know it’s Bama but If Saban hires a position Coach it’s safe to say they are good to great at evaluations and talent acquisition)..and he proved he could evaluate and develop at Louisiana..now will that correlate in Gainesville on a more competitive national recruiting effort & will that equal the type of success he had at Louisiana ..nobody knows. But I don’t put him in the G5 category of guys who had success at that level then got bigger gigs..he was at Clemson for that turn around (fell out with Dabo on personal **** rumor is) then was on staff at Bama, so that operation up close & was a ace recruiter there..took that to the G5 level and dominated..I think he knows what he’s doing…but like I said **** em

Mario’s coattails at Bama.

Looks like you want to stand up for the gator in Gator Tears.

There’s levels to this. Napier was supposed to be a bigtime hire. The Tom Hermann and Scott Frost of last season’s coaching hires. But he’s not even them. So maybe he’s not Al Golden bad. But I won’t even concede that.

Either way, he’s not a Top 20 coach and I’ll be shocked if his class ends in the Top 15 unless he has a class of 35 kids. That class average is only going down from here on out.
 
Here’s the thing: EVERY coach has silents on deck. They’re always trying to manipulate perception and make bad news disappear.

So now with that said, look at where some of UF’s commits are from:

Wilson: Tampa
Webb: Jacksonville
Nixon: St. Pete
Denson: Jacksonville (double legacy)
Hill: GAINESVILLE
Harris: St. Lucie by way of IMG
Stokes: Ponte Vedra Beach
Whittemore: GAINESVILLE
Lovett: Rockledge
Patterson: Eustis

Nine of their eleven commits are all gator country layups. Where are the other two from, might you ask? Georgia.

They have announced all their layups, picked all their low-hanging fruit. All in an effort to save face in recruiting.

Billy blew his load and may get a couple more nice pieces, but now he’s got to fight for real blue chips.

I’m not even going to deal with this bull shît in gator tears, especially when we’re actually talking historical facts and kicking the **** out of them on the trail.

@305to954 you are now banned from Gator Tears for your transgressions. If you want back in, you need to dm a video or at least an explanation to myself, @OriginalCanesCanesCanes , @TheOriginalCane and @Canes2082 - like Billy required of established high school players - as we are the hearing committee. This is poetic justice.

And if I’m not mistaken, you went on one of these tangents in here before and then admitted that you were pushing the law here and bowed out. Too late this time. We will consider your appeal in a dm though.

Can’t blame Mullen. Mario took over Diaz and pulled a 65th ranked team into a top 15 team within 90 days. Napier will never be on Mario’s level.

Napiers reputation?? I follow CFB real close and never heard of him having a good reputation.

Only time I heard of him was when he was at ULL And that’s it.

Ohh and he’s managed to **** off Polk county in 6 months… where a majority of gator targets are locks.

Napier could’ve had MULTIPLE JOBS at the P5 level for years..we’ll see what he can do..but dude has good reputation in the coaching community..I watched that UF a spring game..he has a QB. I think Napier Will definitely get talent In Gainesville and his offenses wi be good. They put together a good staff up there. I just think even running at their max capacity..Miami at its max is playoffs annually. UF isnt
