While almost the whole of major college football is engaged in a sprint to Early Signing Day on Wednesday, you could be forgiven for mistaking Florida’s approach for a stroll.
The Gators will, of course, sign a number of prospects on or just after Wednesday, pouring the foundation for Billy Napier’s first class as Florida’s head coach. It’s still not clear whether that number will be in the double digits, however, as just seven commits sit in a class ranked No. 79 nationally and dead last in the SEC by the 247Sports Composite.
Napier has, of course, made clear that this was a likely scenario, saying in his first press conference that he would take things slowly and even admitting that fans and media members were likely to be perplexed or even angered by his methods.
