I went out to the Heavener Complex for the first Jr. Day of the Jon Sumrall Era.
Judging by the number of prospects I saw arriving (as well as the number of golf carts in use), it doesn't look like it is a huge gathering. If the rules haven't changed (and rules are forever changing nowadays), UF can hold another one in the coming months.
One change that stood out was that with the previous staff, mostly prospects would arrive, walk up to the complex, and staffers would be there to open the door and greet them. Once in a while, a position coach would come out to greet a top target as they arrived outside. This morning, at first Jon Herd was out front, and then the GM, a good 10-12 coaches, and staff members were outfront to greet each arrival.
Yes, fan favorite Katie Turner was out there for a bit as well.
New linebackers coach Greg Gasparato is one of the most energetic, forward, in-your-face (in a positive way) coaches I've seen interact with prospects in a while, and there seemed to be more energy from the staff as a whole than what we've seen recently.
