GatorCountry brings you a new podcast as we talk about the latest Florida Gators recruiting news as they’re now doing virtual visits with prospects.
Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre are joined by assistant director of creative media for the Florida Gators football team Kevin Camps as he explains how edits come about and how the virtual visits are set up.
Andrew and Nick also talk about how recruits are reacting to the virtual visits that are now taking place.
TRANSCRIPT:
Andrew:                 What’s up, Gator Country? Your man, Andrew Spivey, here with Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, we’re still under quarantine a little bit. Things are starting to get a little bit better, but still no sports. So, in my opinion, the world’s not back yet.
Nick:                         Yeah. I’ve got my sport fix with some UFC.
Andrew:                 Yeah. Listen, I like the UFC. I love watching some UFC but give me my nightly Braves. I’m not a huge NBA guy, starting to get into it with my Hawks, but give me some NBA postseason basketball.
Nick:                         Just being here in Florida, obviously the Heat are my team. They just opened up a practice facility. Governor Ron DeSantis came out yesterday and said, if you’ve got a pro sports franchise, we’ve got places for you to play, so maybe they’ll figure out something for the NBA. I don’t even know how you do it. We were talking about it yesterday. Only like eight games left roughly for most teams, so you pretty much had the playoff picture.
Andrew:                 Just go to the playoffs.
Nick:                         Maybe extend it to 10 teams in each. Like you guys were close, and maybe you could have snuck in. Hell, the country is ready for it.
Andrew:                 Like you said, yesterday he also said that Florida and Florida State, their stadiums are open if the NFL wants to come to one of those stadiums as well. Everything is there. Listen, the virus stuff is real. The virus stuff is going to be around. I think it’s going to be a yearly thing, like the flu. I’m not doctor, so I’m not going to sit here and get on a preaching spiel or anything like that, but sports can help a lot of people, so let’s do that.
Nick:                         I think we talked about it. I mentioned it. For sure, I’ve mentioned it. I think we’ve talked about it. It’s such a release for people. You go to a job, and maybe you like your job or you don’t like your job, but it’s just something to come home and unwind. Eat some dinner, and what game’s on TV tonight? Cool. Even if it’s not my team that’s playing, it’s just someone or something to watch and get your mind off and relax.
Andrew:                 Listen, I promise for one whole day not to holler or scream at the Braves bullpen.
Nick:                         I don’t know if you’ll be able to do it. I think that’s an empty promise.
Andrew:                 It probably is. Hey, it’s worth the promise. Who knows? Today we’re going to do a special podcast. We’re going to bring on graphic designer for Florida. Doing a great job, by the way. I guess I’m a little biased in this, but there’s a lot of great edits coming out by Florida as of late. Really starting to kind of take some strides into that whole likeness thing. They’re really starting to hit on some of these logos and things.
We’re going to have Kevin Camps on, who’s one of the graphic guys. In my opinion, the graphic guy for Florida. He’s going to come on and talk about kind of what goes into the graphics and also talk to him about some virtual visits, because these virtual visits are becoming a thing for Florida. We’re hearing a lot of different things about why Florida’s are different, so let’s talk to Kevin. We’ll talk to him about all this good stuff, and then you and I will come back, and we’ll talk about some of these virtual visits and anything else that pops out of our head.
