Will Sammon posted an article today about Florida needing to sign more 5 stars. This is what he wrote about IMG,
Despite IMG Academy three-star defensive end Josh Griffis no longer being committed to Florida as of Wednesday, IMG head coach Kevin Wright said there is more of a buzz around his campus about the Gators now than in recent years.
“We probably had more kids do more unofficial visits here in the last couple of months to Florida than what we’ve had before,” Wright said. “So I think that all points toward things going well for them. I don’t know if I can remember us having that many kids or having us get as many kids on their campus unofficially over the last few years than as most recently or over the last couple of months.”
In terms of frequency within the NCAA rules, Florida’s appearances at IMG Academy are on par with peers such as Georgia and Alabama, from Wright’s perspective. Mullen once came in a helicopter, players said. Usually, multiple Florida coaches visit at a time.
“I think they’ve been well-received,” Wright said. “They’ve definitely been a big presence on our campus. They were in the fall. And again in January. I don’t see that changing.”
