Do you remember the old days Florida used to sign five-star recruits as if the Gators were shopping at a convenience store?
Those were the days of [autotag]Steve Spurrier[/autotag], [autotag]Ron Zook[/autotag] and [autotag]Urban Meyer[/autotag], the two-time national titlist who used to text recruits while he was in church.
During that stretch of those three coaches (and you have to include the Zooker because he set Meyer up with the talent to win it all in 2006), Florida won 78.7% of its games.
Since then, Florida has won 55.3% of its games and fired three coaches.
Coincidence? We think not.
The latest Dooley’s Dozen looks at the last 12 (with a caveat) five-stars who have signed with Florida and how they did at UF. We do that while waiting for [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag] to sign his first.
