Great job by that staff to salvage something out of a disaster...I think Muschamp took a couple of good ones with him to Auburn.
Florida from 90th two weeks ago to 25th now...

They may jump some more, Cowart, the top player, committed to AU this morning but is having second thoughts. His 2 buddies are already on UF's list of signees.
The name Florida sells itself. Put those same coaches at a mid tier school and they get maybe a top 50 class.
This is the truth
perfect example is Cece Jefferson. 5 star was always going to Florida, always, despite his pathetically transparent pandering to other schools to get his twitter followers and retweets. would have went there for for Muschamp, did for the new guy, hell would have if they hired Joker.
Yep, just saw on SEC network where he was sending his LOI to them. I guess she likes her new job.
The two late five stars (one unexpected I believe) had a tremendous effect on their rating, without them UK would actually be ahead of them in Rivals "star" rating, UK at 3.0 and they would be about a 2.96. In the more accurate numerical rating Florida without them would be only slightly ahead of UK at a 5.594 to UK's 5.586.
Losing out on Lewis wouldn't have made a lot of difference in our ranking (we would have passed UL by a few points) but did in the perception of our class.
We only have to have one of the late 5.5s or two stars to blow up to make up the difference that Lewis would have made, a definite possibility IMO.

Definitely agree with that, and they would also should make a tremendous difference in the classes performance.
Perhaps a bigger surprise to me is that USC has currently passed Bama for the number one ranking, didn't think I would see that. Another small blow to the SEC prestige.
Yeah, the Florida brand alone guarantees them a finish in the 30's in any worst case scenario. This new staff gets credit for working them up about 10 spots from rock bottom.
In the state of Florida there is so much high end talent that you could literally never recruit out of state and always have a top 15 class. That and they have Bull Gators to do their bidding for them and situations like Seffner HS coaching situation where they are such a pipeline to UF that the high school head coach is the son of one of the UF coaches.
