Since UF offered last summer, he has been high on the Gators. He has called UF his leader multiple times. He has been on all five versions of our monthly Mock Draft. But, as with each and every prospect, money matters to some degree. If all things are equal, then a bigger offer can sway a kid in a certain direction. If all the offers are equal, then other intangibles (facilities, development, GatorMade, etc) factor in.
However, at the end of the day, if a program offers more money, they are more than likely going to win out.
There are kids UF lost out on because another program made a bigger offer. There are players on the UF roster that the Gators got because they offered more.
That's just the way it is.
