“National Signing Day, the culmination of a lot of hard work certainly. What a group of recruits here and families. Just that shows the University of Florida and all the things that come with that,” Billy Napier said on Wednesday. “A ton of respect for the belief that they have in what we’re building here. Certainly a blessing to welcome such a talented group but also a group that’s got character. Really thankful for this group.
“I think, if you’re into rankings, to have a top ten class in the first year, just really proud of our staff and all the hard work that went into that. Time will tell if our evaluations were spot on.This is where it all starts, though. It starts with evaluation and recruitment. Really proud of this staff, all parts of the organization. It really takes a team — operations personnel, on campus recruiting, the equipment staff. GatorMade does a fantastic job, plays a big part in our recruiting, with creative media, video.”
