Just got an email that it’s on Thursday again, April 13. Why are we insisting on this?
Simple, it's so that all the top recruits can come here on thursday and still make it to where they will actually be enrolling next fall on Saturday(places like Bama, UGA, Clemson.....and dare I say UCF)...We wouldn't want to put them out, would we?

Billy says it gives the staff all day Friday and potentially Saturday to host recruits with their undivided attention. Also it allows for some kids to not have to make a decision to attend one spring game or another. I get it from that standpoint but it really does suck for the fans that live outside of the Gainesville area and by extension the area, hotels and restaurants. It’s difficult to balance all of the considerations as a head coach I’m sure.

The potential sports news coverage might be greater, too, than if it were held the same day that most or all other schools hold theirs. It's not necessarily ideal for the fans, but seems to me to reflect Napier's attitude that recruiting is 24/7. Smart move on his part, I think.
