(1) These kids get stars by their exposure to camps and so on. Some of the these kids can't afford to go or maybe just 1 camp.....
(2) Mac has an eye for talent. This year we will really see because most of the skill guys are his...
(3) Production on the field this season will go a long way towards our recruiting.

(1) You are correct. Perine is a prime example of that. The kid had to mow grass just to save up enough money for
bus fare to come and camp in G'ville... in an attempt to
earn recognition and a scholly offer. (I love this kid already)
(2) Yes. I believe he does. Think about the 2015 class. No one was
particularly excited about Antonio Callaway. Mac knew he was special and
all he did was go on the set a UF record for most receiving yards for a freshman...ever...
(3) Agreed. A competent offense, that in no way resembles the Bad News Bears, and
hopefully a continuation of solid defense will show recruits that Mac is rebuilding the brand, so to speak.
I also think reclaiming the mystique of "The Swamp" will be huge. No more patsies showing up with a belief that they can actually beat us. No more mid level or lower level SEC teams coming in here and walking out with a "W". We need to annihilate the lesser teams and use "home field advantage" to overcome the great teams. Making "The Swamp" the most feared place to play in college football will excite the fans and make high school kids
dream of the privilege of being able to play there.
(4) Hell Yeah! Go Gators! Can't wait for the season to start!
