UF got some good reviews from rour prospective recruits so far; here are some excerpts:
"So far, one of the more special moments was being at Florida and meeting coach Urban Meyer. I thought, wow this is pretty big time. It was pretty cool and exciting."
- Jax Bolles OT Brent Benedict
"The No. 1 thing that other coaches highlight compared to Florida is playing time. Tennessee sends a lot of information about playing time and how I could start as a freshman. The thing is if they want to guarantee me playing time, they've probably told 20 or 30 kids the same thing. Florida is straight up with you. They tell you that you have to earn your playing time. That's what their coaches say, and that's important to me, because I want to earn it.
Coaching stability is also really important to me. Coach Meyer told me Notre Dame was his dream job, but he came to Florida because he wants to win. He knows he'll win if he stays here. That's why he'll stay here."
- Fleming Island OT and UF verbal Ian Silberman
