Donzo, hearing he will have some type of announcement confirming where he is going Friday, with most pundits predicting he is changing his itinerary to some crappy school that worships bucknuts.
At the risk of being optimistic, it's not over for any player we "lost". Need a good season though, no doubt.
Napier "vis a vie" the draw and power of UF, proved that the Gators, when they show a little life, can bring "recruits committed elsewhere", back to UF when it's early signing day. If Napier can squeeze into the playoffs I imagine we will see more 5 star guys throwing Gator caps on.
CBN has great relationships with recruits, so it is more about getting boosters excited to pay those 5 * recruits. We likely have some deep pockets who never will buy into NIL.
I do not know how it works behind the scenes but can imagine there are some big money people who have said they will add some sway dollars to the pot if we have a good season.
It would certainly be interesting to watch the bag accounts as the winning started at end of last year. Id bet the recruiting graph and money graph looked very similar.
