Recruits taking wait and see approach: This was published before news broke of Mullen’s hiring, but several Gator commits were waiting to see who was hired, and who from the current staff was retained, before making any decision. (The SEC Country post linked above has some reactions after.) Over the weekend the Gators did lose some commitments - 2018 WR Jacob Copeland, 2018 DE Taylor Upshaw, and longtime 2019 safety commit Jaleel McRae decommited. (Graham Hall, Gainesville Sun)
All recruits & commits this season don’t define us we got a lot of bright things ahead just know we taking care of business next year to get things rolling back on track. And for Gator Nation never again and appreciate the support through it all this year #GatorNation
