Hylton Stubbs reiterated what I said before Florida's first Jr. Day of the cycle.

I don't care if the top 10 rated prospects in the class committed to Florida tomorrow or if 99 of the top 100 eliminated Florida as a possibility.

Nothing in recruiting matters until the season is played.

Billy Napier has proven to be a top recruiter. UF finished with a Top 10 class last year coming off of back to back losing seasons. If UF hadn't lost five in a row to end the season, they likely would have finished with a top five class, perhaps even top two.

If UF surprises this year and has six or seven wins, another top 10 class is likely. If they don't, there's no way any staff, including this one, is going to recruit well into those head winds.
