I was disappointed in the way today played out. Still no running back and can't believe we missed out on Avantae.
Like Casey at the Bat,
Florida just kept swinging and missing on Wednesday until the very end. Although the Gators got some late redemption by snagging four-star defensive end
Princely Umanmielen
, this day did not deliver on the promise Gator fans had hoped it would. It started early when Alabama athlete
Dee Beckwith
chose
Tennessee over the Gators. That was not a huge surprise, and neither was
Ashaad Clayton
sticking with his
Colorado commitment after officially visiting Florida last month. However, around mid-day the tide had officially turned against the Gators when Rivals100 safety
Avantae Williams
, who had been considered a strong Florida lean coming into the day, announced he was signing with
Miami.
Dan Mullen’s staff would also fail to flip four-star
Jahmyr Gibbs
from
Georgia Tech, and does not meet the need at running back in this 2020 class.
