I believe this staff can recruit too. We’re pretty lucky the SEC East is doing so poorly right now. That should help us continue to win the east.
Wins will add up to recruiting. Clemson not only recruits Florida heavily; they recruit against UF. Muschamp didn’t help us against Clemson, but I think Mac will. And…. I think when we get to the championship game, we will do better with our recruits than Dabo Swinney does.

The Gators signed five of the state’s top 50 recruits in 2015 compared to Florida State’s 10 and Miami’s three. I think that it is important to consider the IMG effect. To be meaningful, this data should exclude IMG students. I suspect that UF will have grabbed about the same non-IMG Florida top-50 as the other top schools. I was curious so I took a non-exhaustive look for 2015-2016. I included UF, FSU, Miami, Clemson (because they always seem to recruit Florida well), and Auburn (because they appeared on the list a lot while I was researching). I used the 247sports top 50 list. In 2015, the only IMG recruit to sign with any of the above teams was Deondre Francois with FSU. In 2016, Shavar Manuel signed with FSU and Rashaun Smith signed with Clemson. Total for the two years (not removing any non-qualifiers like D'anfernee McGriff) UF 10 FSU 17 Miami 14 Clemson 6 Auburn 9 So, in state, the IMG effect did not really produce that much of a difference. FSU cleaned up last year, and Miami cleaned up this year. We recruited better than an out-of-state school, but not nearly as well as a school the stature of Florida should have. I believe this staff can coach. They just need to go out and get the players. -- -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GatorTalk" group.
