Just checked Rivals.
Up to #8 nationally between UGA at #7 and Oklahoma at #9. Tied with LSU and Miami at 10th in avg star rating. 3 commits in the top 100 and 7 in top 250. No 5 stars yet, but expected to land #2 recruit in the nation. Starting to look like what a Florida class is supposed to look like.

So, are we going with a 4-7, 5-6, or 6-5 D and just skip the LBs for now... maybe add a "1" in the middle when Graham comes online?

Amazing work in a short amount of time. We weren’t able to even get guys to visit a year ago.

This is exactly what we've been rooting and hoping for such a long time. Have to give credit to Napier and his staff for what they are doing. He asked for the tools he needed to get recruiting where it needs to be. So initially it looks as if Napier and staff are putting in the work. And perhaps UF is doing its part and giving him what he needs. It's just great to have a coach that is earning his check year round rather than mailing it in from a beach, settling on lower talent, and too damn lazy to ask for anything.

I am very proud of out staff. Now that he's building it, consistency will be a must. He's accomplished so much in so little time. No reason to think the consistency will be hard to keep with this head coach.

I also think it’s important to note what direction the program is shaping up for in terms of roster construction for the next 4 years. If this class is any indication, we’re gonna be able to rush with 4 and cause havoc for opposing qbs and we’re gonna have a deep fast WR corp that’s gonna just beg to throw the ball all over the place. I’d be cool with that

Rivals only lists 19 5-stars in the entire nation. Those are tough ones. 8 of the 19 are currently undecided. Bama doesn't have any yet either. #2 and #3 on the list are undecided and are both Florida boys - Cormani McClain and Samuel M'Pemba.

They list "HIGH" interest by McClain with three schools - Bama, UF, and Miami. Do we have a shot?

M'Pemba lists 5 schools as "HIGH", and UF is also one of them. Do we have a shot?

Under UGA's recent standards, this has been a mediocre class for them. Ohio State is getting a ridiculous class.

Could you imagine rounding out this class with McClain and M’Pemba?
