Which coaches did you speak with the most, and what did they have to say to you?

What is the most impressive thing you saw either on the tour of the campus or during one of the presentations? What stood out the most?

How do you feel about Florida after visiting today?
“After this Florida visit, I’m very impressed with how everything is run and how they treat their players.”
Are any other visits coming up?
