Updated: UF vs. Miami Recruits On Campus! | 5-Stars Packing The SWAMP For Week 1

this weekend in Gainesville the Gators have a huge opportunity on Saturday when they play the Miami Hurricanes Billy Napier in his staff are going to have some Elite prospects on the sidelines to watch this and Steve we've talked all summer about how top prospects want to see what the for Gators put on the field this this season a win against Miami would really get things started on the right foot DJ picket Oregon DJ Piet committed to LSU also Oregon commitment Dallas Wilson confirmed they're going to be there UF have a chance to double back on some of these guys if they win big this season absolutely we've been saying it all spring and summer Florida finishing as a runner up getting in the top five for a lot of these blue chippers that committed elsewhere they're keeping Florida warm they want to see what the Gators look like this fall because they have a great relationship with Coach Napier they love the staff Florida has the resources to recruit the best players in the country it's all about what are you going to do on the field it's year three of the Billy Napier era they had to change a whole culture when they got there they feel like they've recruited and hit the portal put this program in a position to go out there week one win this game against Miami and be very competitive in the SEC and if they do that Florida's going to be a fun team to follow on the trail down the stretch now DJ picket in particular as dad told me uh earlier this week or over the weekend that his son is a th% committed to LSU he has three LSU game visits on the radar but Billy Napier has not quit he's taken that recruitment by the horns he's the one leading the charge he's been in regular communication they get a chance to show DJ pick at some stuff this weekend uh Wilson committed to Oregon that's always going to be a tough flip from Oregon uh but Florida's one of the programs he's keeping a Keen Eye on Florida's got a chance to sign maybe the best receiver class in the country they got Vernell Brown Nan Montgomery Joshua Moore all in the fold if they're able to add Wilson to it that would be stacked now Miami's trying to flip a couple of those guys too they're going to try and keep Legacy recruit Vernell Brown warm Joshua Moore that one's going to be a battle to the end for him so a big opportunity for Florida to solidify with Joshua Moore and then maybe make a move with some of those other cats all right on Three's number one ranked linebacker Ty Jackson he's going to be at the game we've been talking about that all week but also fourstar linebacker Nathaniel OSU bang he's also going to be there he's a top Target for the Gators as well which one would you you say UF is in better shape with heading into the weekend and ultimately do you think they have a shot at Landing them both Ty Jackson who they have a better shot at right now heading into the weekend there's no question that Florida's at or near the top of his list he's also excited about Alabama he's going to USC next weekend Tennessee's in the mix Penn State's in the mix Florida State's getting the last official I'm looking at Florida Alabama and Florida State as my front runners in this recruitment but he's keeping dialogue up with all six talking to his dad he visited Florida in the summer visited Florida for his official in June visited him again at the end of the summer in July he's been there like eight or nine times it's a put up year I mean that's what samaj's Dad said it's time to prove it on the field we got the new strength coach got the new nutritionist this coaching staff's been there a while they're excited to see Florida Play Gator Championship level football and it starts with that game against Miami on Saturday and if Florida wins that in front of Ty Jackson it only improves their chances already in great position uh but this is a they're all big opportunities it starts with this Miami game you and I have talked about it's not going to get any easier but Florida's gotten a big win at home every year of the bilon apier era they start off beating Utah they kicked Tennessee's behind last year DJ picket was at that game you know they're trying to come out strong against Miami in week one Josh who do you like in week one I know you're asking me questions but you got Florida or you got Miami man I you know I think the I'm taking the Gators at home I think it's going to be a good season for Miami I don't think this makes or breaks Miami Season at all I think this game's way more important for the Gator because of that schedule that we talked about and the that run doesn't get any easier if they lose the first game so I think you know Miami's going to have a good season but a transfer quarterback coming in game one to play in the swamp it I that's a tough task so I I like Forida here um let's before we get out of this Florida segment I want to talk to you about a couple more flip targets we're talking a pair of Auburn commits and Malik ay and tavar St going to be there also jarquez Carter who's committed to Ohio State he's a big time he's a big bodyi defensive lineman from the state of Florida that Ohio State landed over RAR all five of the instate fora schools I was recently introduced to roback and I couldn't be more excited when I say impressed by the quality and comfort I mean it I literally can't take this stuff

game against two big-time instate teams Malik ay I've always thought that's going to be a tough flip from Auburn he's certainly made a lot of rounds and a lot of visits he's been to Florida before let's just see how the season goes you know Auburn's gotta play a lot of games this year too they're as hot as anybody on the recuiting trail but they got to go out and show Improvement in year two of the Hugh freeze era as well uh just like Florida's trying to do in year three all right Steve your prediction on the Florida Miami game I'm gonna go with the Gators as well I I think that they're they they got something there's a lot of confidence around the gator program right now when you talk to their coaches and staff they feel really good about having Graham MS back under Center DJ lagway obviously pushing him but they feel like they got a veteran football team they got some playmakers that can finally do something out on the perimeter and again they're tough at home in games like this uh but we'll see who we're talking about in our first uh recruit reaction show on Saturday evening is that going to be a Miami storyline all those recruits watching the Hurricanes get get a big win or is it going to be recruits soaking up a tremendous atmosphere inside the swamp as Florida gets a big win to start their season yeah and you guys need to tune in nothing like this has ever been done me
