This class is off to an outstanding start!
Mullen went all the way out to Seattle today to visit 2020 5 Star OLB Sav’ell Smalls
That’s kinda my point.Ur seriously asking if a 2020 kid will stick?
From the article:
“Manuel has already made previous commitments to both the Tennessee Volunteers and Miami Hurricanes before eventually backing off both verbal pledges”.
Yeah, I noticed the "Gpa" of our 2020 class isnt too hot so far. But we are at least in the picture on some of the top kids and are making headway in the home state after years of ineptitude.Great pick up, but we still have lots of work to do. Here's the 2020 Rivals top 100 breakdown.
Bama - 4
LSU - 4
OSU - 4
Georgia - 2
Florida - 1
This particular recruit has shown a lot of interest in UF and was @ Friday Night Lights last year.I still question the west coast efforts. Yes, we got Steele and yes a national footprint is part of restoring the Gator Standard. But it seems a long way with significan geographic obstacles. Hoping Mullen proves me wrong repeatedly.
Semi. 4 star but from the Carolinas. Getting more nationally recruited and opened it back up. Not a big loss at all though.Is he highly rated?

I wouldn't say "not a big loss" because he's at a position of need. I think we can pull in some similarly ranked, or higher ranked kids though. We need at least 4 heavy's in this class (at least). I'd like to see a minimum of 6 DL's (SDE, WDE, and DT's) combined....or more.
Here's the Rivals Top 100 Florida list: 2020 Rivals.com Florida State rankings
We can probably land 12 to 15 of the top 50 - and another 3 or 4 of the top 51-100 (giving us at least 15 of the top 100 Florida kids) THAT is where UF should be. "Win the state....win championships!"
Interestingly, the top IMG kid is only #13 (the top 3 from 2019 are IMG).
Fred Davis (#1 in the state, 5-star CB) - c'mon down. And his teammate, #9 overall, 4-star CB Miles Brooks.
#4 Leonard Manual - Gators
#5 Demarkus Bowman - Gators?
#17 Keyvonne Lee - Gators
Highest ranked DT is at #22 from Sebastian River, Timothy Smith.
#30 Dexter Garvin, SDE - Gators.
#50 Fraziers - Gators
#53 - Richardson - Gators
#79 - Josh Griffis - Gators
Richardson will explode in the rankings soonI wouldn't say "not a big loss" because he's at a position of need. I think we can pull in some similarly ranked, or higher ranked kids though.
