What If Napier Somehow Manages To Put Together A Top 5 Class?

It would take a dramatic turn around and more money even if Napier were to survive. Maybe we could get to top 10, but it's unlikely if Napier is still here. We're more likely to see a new guy hoping to flip some of our defections to end with a top 20 type class.

 

To be fair, those were almost all seen as great gets. Some could still reach potential and I hear filsame has flashed here and there but that just goes to show how uncertain high-school recruiting is and why the portal has taken over. Not that recruiting doesnt matter as evidenced by DW and VB3 but again, how many of those lost recruits would make a difference at this point?

Major issue remains offensive line recruiting and Offensive coordinator.

I dont see it happening but....if napier could commit from now to hiring an OC (not sure who he could even get) mmmmmaybe the money could be convinced to really lock down a class/portal seeing as we are in a somewhat critical spot and have failed so many times now. As most have said, kids play hard for him, the defense has really taken shape even through injuries and the offensive roster other than Oline is stacked. Why rock the whole boat when there is only one piece missing....of course that coordinator is also head coach so.....probably never gonna happen

 

My concern is that even if he did hire an OC there is still a lot of non OC stuff that he is terrible with on game day. Managing a game on the sideline is just not his forte. I think he would be better in a GM role at this level. He seems highly organized Sun thru Fri but on Saturdays is just completely lost.

 

I want him fired but my biggest worry is we fire him and then we don't get any of the top 5 Florida fans clamour for

 

IF we kept winning and our D plays lights out, maybe we pull two DTs currently committed to Texas?

 

Would be extremely impressive at this point

 

Lane would thank him for his service...

 

We replaced those lost recruits with mearly equal replacements with either more experience or equal or better performance to date. Bridges, cormani mcclain and the senior safety from Washington. We replaced filsaime and Mack. Pup howard was a better addition than adarius Hayes. Badger replaced Williams, etc. We kept McCray, Lagway, and the two LBers we had , Graham and chiles that were higher rated than Hayes

 

I'm happy we haven't lost our current commits. Nice. Tells me they are committed as much to UF as they were to our HC. I realize other schools are talking but so far, so good.

 

Keep those checks coming
