Recruits react to the Florida Gators big win

Florida finally got onto the field this week and they did so in a dominating fashion as the Florida Gators defeated Eastern Michigan 65-0 in front of large crowd at the Swamp.

There were only a few recruits in attendance for Saturday’s big win but many top-notch prospects around the country were watching the game and–  more importantly — Kurt Roper’s offense from home.
