As news spreads about Dallas Wilson’s flip from Oregon to Florida it’s important to note Rivals national recruiting analyst John Garcia’s words paraphrased here: Florida is the only program in the country to bring in three receivers in the Top 100 and three of the top 11 receivers nationally. An incredible haul.
While praise rightly falls on Billy Napier, it’s past time to give Gator receivers coach Billy G his due. Gonzales is a recruiting liability, some detractors assert. Well, evidence swings hard the other way. Last year we gained Chimere Dike and then Elijhah Badger. Now three incoming major prospects.
And if anyone is concerned about our likelihood of striking gold in the transfer portal keep in mind the pull to talented receivers already cited and just arriving. With a far more experienced DJ Lagway behind Jake Slaughter and his OL mates we’ll see more passing and with more accuracy at short and intermediate depths next season. The addition of Dallas Wilson seems to be another sign of what awaits.
