Florida Gators recruiting is doing well and this week’s recruiting mailbag had a lot of great questions about how prospects view the Florida Gators after their loss to Alabama.

As you have noticed Gator Country and Andrew Spivey have mixed things up and we have taken our Florida Gators recruiting mailbag to podcast form, as well as continuing the written version of the mailbag.

Make sure to listen as Andrew answer’s everyone’s questions from this mailbag and don’t forget to get your questions in every week so he can answer your question next time on all things Florida Gators recruiting.

Here’s the written version of this week’s Florida Gators recruiting mailbag:

67viking: In the event Jacob Eason was to flip to UF, hasn't Isaac Nauta stated that they would like to play together? Is Eason the type of player who would recruit for his school? Seems like it would be in his best interest to get as many good players to commit with him.

AS: Right now I’m going to say that I don’t think Nauta goes to Florida even if Eason does. Eason is a player that will attract other players to Florida and recruit for them. Eason would be a big splash for the Gators.

 

Lemonhope: Who are the top priorities for this class? Who are the coaches pushing for most? Who are coaches starting to recruit now that they hadn't been before due to coaching changes and uncertainty? Any five stars?

AS: Florida is hard after several guys but I would say Mack Wilson, Nate Craig-Myers, and Jacob Eason are the top priorities. Eddy Pineiro is also another top priority.

 

Sammage: What are your thoughts on Mack Wilson? Is he playing a game by keeping us #1 while clearly being interested in Kirby Smart, or is it the other way around? Just seems like a song I've heard before where kids were 100% Gators… oops, there goes the FSU hat on his head.

AS: I don’t think Mack Wilson is trolling anyone at all. I know he has a close relationship with Kirby Smart and that will make Georgia tough to beat, but he also likes Florida a lot. Official visits will be huge in January for Wilson.

 

MrB-Gator: Any Juco offensive line possibilities in this class?

AS: Mike Summers visited Malcolm Pridgeon on Tuesday but right now he’s a long shot, so I’m going to say that I don’t think Florida gets any JUCO offensive linemen this year.

 

Hoganmac97: Any updates with Terrance Davis and any chance with Marlon Davidson?

AS: Terrance Davis says he’s going to visit Florida in January and if he does that Florida has a shot, but right now I’m saying he stays close to home or goes to Michigan. Marlon Davidson sticks with Auburn in my opinion.

 

TheGator: Do you expect Eason to make it to Athens this weekend?

AS: Yes, from everything I’ve heard, I expect him to visit Georgia this coming weekend.

 

TheGator: Ben Davis, Marlon Davidson, and Mack Wilson. What are our chances of landing each of these guys?

AS: Ben Davis is going to Alabama or Georgia but his dad is former Crimson Tide player so I don’t see him going anywhere else besides Alabama.

 

Wilbur11: How many defensive ends will we take? How many defensive tackles will we take?

AS: I know that Florida would love to have four defensive ends in the class and 1-2 defensive tackles in the class to help keep the depth on the line of scrimmage up for the coming years.

 

Gatorgolfer1: What recruit are the coaches most excited about? Whether they're committed already or not. Who do they think has the most upside? Example Antonio Callaway last year, they knew he was a diamond in the rough.
Do you see them or any recruit making an immediate impact on the field as a freshman?

AS: I think Chauncey Gardner is a guy they expect to play next year as well as Mark Thompson and some of the receivers like Freddie Swain, Josh Hammond and Nate Craig-Myers are guys that they would hope can play next year. As far as under the radar guys go,
