In Part 1, I compared the Gators recruiting classes from 1990 to 2006 based on wins, winning percentage and championships won, in attempts to designate one class a clear-cut “Best of All Time,” a definitive benchmark for this and future year’s recruiting classes to shoot for. The classes of 1990-1994, and 2005-2006 rose to or near the top depending on which metrics were used, but no class definitively stood out as the best based on just these metrics.

In Part 2, I compared class contribution in terms of the number of lettermen and starters each class produced, the years of lettermen and starters, the percentage of signees to letter or to start, and the number of selections to the All-SEC and All-American teams. This threw a spotlight on some new classes, but the scope of top UF recruiting class of all time is ultimately taking shape with class of 1992 leading class of 2006.
