This season has been a successful one for the Florida Gators and their 6-1 record has helped the Florida Gators recruiting efforts of many top prospects.
Prospects around the country wanted to see how Jim McElwain and his staff would do with the team in 2015 and I think nobody saw the Gators with a 6-1 record heading into the bye week.
The bye week will allow the Florida coaches to hit the road to do some recruiting, and they’re going to be visiting some prospects that are very excited about what is going on in Gainesville, Florida right now.
On Sunday Gator Country.com asked Florida Gators recruiting prospects to give us their reaction on the Gators close loss on Saturday night to LSU and the reaction was much of what we expected as the Gators fought hard in Death Valley.
Miami Hurricanes defensive end/linebacker commit Josh Uche-“I think Florida wins that ball game had they played LSU in a week or two but I liked how they were able to still have a good game despite the quarterback problems.”
2017 running back Jamari Peacock-“I love how they play hard for all four quarters.”
Florida Gators running back commit Mark Thompson-“Hard fought game, but it came down to the wire and they put a lot of pressure on a quarterback that hadn’t started since week. Just unfortunate that it ended the way it did. There’s always next year and it WILL NOT end in a loss if I’m playing and definitely not if I’m starting.”
Florida Gators linebacker commit Vosean Joseph-“My Gators fought the whole game.”
