Here are some first hand visitor observations that were passed on to me:

The visitors were in two groups:

• First group consisted of Tyrie Cleveland, CJ McWilliams, Quincy Lenton, Rick Wells, and Tyler Catalina (Rhode Island).

• Cleveland was hanging with Wells, as it’s well-documented that they were childhood friends. Both were very quiet. Cleveland honestly looked bored – was constantly scrolling through his phone. Even when we wasn't looking at his phone, he held pretty expressionless faces.

• McWilliams was also very quiet but that’s more of his personality. His family seemed to be having fun, particularly the two young kids with him (not sure if they were little brothers or cousins).

• Second group consisted of Kristian Fulton, Lamical Perine, Jeremiah Moon, and Jeawon Taylor. These guys were more alive. They were acting a lot more energetic and talkative than the first group.

• Fulton seemed to be enjoying himself, making the coaches and other players laugh. I can confirm his mom was with him. Can’t confirm I saw the dad there was a man very friendly with Kristian and I assumed he was his dad but I don't know.

• Jeawon was openly recruiting Fulton – saying he wanted to bring him to Gainesville.

• One coach asked Fulton which way he was leaning in front of everybody. Fulton responded with “I think I’m leaning to Florida,” which garnered applause and Gator champs from the group. (Obviously take it for what it's worth given the environment)

• Perine also looked like he was having a good time. Much like Fulton, he was making others laugh and genuinely smiling.
