With George McDonald gone, changes have come to the Orange staff's recruiting philosophies. However, the importance of Florida has not changed.
Many people were surprised last summer by how early the Orange were landing commitments for the 2015 class, as they already held 12 commits by the end of June.
In an interview with Mike McAllister of Scout.com, head coach Scott Shafer gave some insight into what happened in the last cycle and why the staff has decided to change things up.
"I did want to pump the breaks a little bit because I felt like we had so many commits so early last year, which I was very happy with all those kids, but there were some outstanding things going on that made me feel strong about slowing it down this year a little bit," Shafer said.
