"I believe the biggest reason for this poor recruiting is the questions surrounding Napier’s long-term future and the results being shown on the field. The Gators have been underwhelming through the first two years under Napier."
"He and his assistant coaches cultivate positive relationships that give them the chance in any recruitment and the University of Florida has no shortage of generating NIL funds through boosters or other deals with outside partners."
So riddle me this Kool-Aid Man:
1) Why did his first 3 classes suck and the best players from those classes have all left the building unless you count Jason Marshall who has drastically underperformed?
2) How do you write and article on recruiting in this day and age, reference NIL (stating the obvious), and then omit the fact that Napier is getting sued personally for 13.8 million dollars? Also, not for nothing, but they claimed a shortage in that case. Many times. Probably not as lost on recruits as it is the local media and CWT fanboys/girls.
3) What are these "positive relationships?" For instance, I have a positive relationship with the guy at Cold Stone. He compliments my T-shirts, asks how I'm doing, asks how often I work out (that one is a little strange but entertains my kids to no end), and gives me ice cream so long as I pay for it. I'm not gonna start working for Cold Stone.
This shit gets more ridiculous every day.

Wrap your head around this: Our 2025 class is worse than Vanderbilt. That's right. We are below the perennial bottom dweller in the SEC, a school that (a) doesn't sit smack dab in the middle of one of the most fertile recruiting areas in the country, and (b) can't pursue a lot of the athletes that we do because of their high academic standards. And Ali Leek has the gall to call Napier a great recruiter.

The part that I don't understand is where do they come off saying recruiting is bad? All of the sources I subscribe to, that tell me what I like to hear, say that Napier is a recruiting machine that is finally replacing all of Mullen's poor recruits with his awesome classes. He is building it his way. People don't like that he is cleaning house. We have DJ Lagway on our bench. We are killing it in Germany and Ivy League transfers. We just got a tall basketball player O-lineman. People are suing and writing negative articles because he is ruffling some feathers and turning heads away from the usual big dogs on the recruiting trail.
