Yes, there will be a Billy Napier presser on Friday at 11:30AM. It will be streamed by UF on the YouTube CHN link below.
Also, I wanted to go over a quick recruiting piece of news. In the past, just about anyone that worked at UF had the luxury of extending the UF verbal offer out - no matter the class. It would then take a long time in some cases before the film ever made it to the head Gators desk. This is not uncommon - however, one thing I can confirm moving forward is ANY player that gets the UF verbal offer is someone that Billy Napier has watched either in person OR on tape. Florida is in the process of watching any former recruit with an offer and will go down the line and "RE" offer. They are also in the process of getting situated on some of the guys in the 2023 class.
As far as this weekend goes - ALL these dudes are READY for this UF OV experience. We do not know how Napier will handle things (Commits) Urban, Dan, Strong, Herman, any HC I have ever worked with has a different way of doing these things. The main thing to remember is 95% of how and when these things are released comes from the recruit/family. At times there can be "some" influence from the coaching staff - just depends on the situation and the recruit. Do not get discouraged if Sunday/Monday you do not see some kids go public. Most of the time, kids who wait this long take it all the way to NSD. Some coaches encourage kids to announce on NSD and all of the sudden you are the talk of the town on NSD. We just need to be patient and see how things unfold this weekend....
"I’ll be going with my parents, the expectations are pretty high with this being a high caliber program and we are really excited to see the program and get to know it more, I’m hoping to gain a deeper understanding of who UF truly is as a program and where they want to be in the future. I want to be able to get deep details when asking what their plan is for the near future and how they plan to get there."
"My mom, brother, sister, and grandpa will be making the trip with me. Really just trying to get to know the new staff more and the other commits. Yes, we are really excited every time we go up there. We do something new and have an amazing time. I hope to build a better relationship w everyone there before I officially step foot on campus. I want to find out how would I be use in the defensive scheme and have fun w my host n other players."
The team will start workouts/lifting together on January 18th - Ventrell Miller is still going through the rehab process but is doing great and will be fully ready by Spring ball.
Anthony Richardson believes he will be able to participate when they start on the 18th.
Jaydon Hill is doing great, started running and jumping and we should see him out there this Spring.
