As mentioned, UF is ranked higher than Syracuse academically by 10+ on every major sites' rankings list. While the SEC isn't known for its academic prowess, UF is a top 15 public university and second only to Vanderbilt. I don't know why you would be surprised at our recruiting success either, when we've won 3 national championships, have 3 Heisman winners, and have produced NFL greats, like Emmitt Smith. The state of Florida is also the #1 recruiting hotbed in the country, so it also shouldn't be shocking that we get great classes. Gainesville is also a renowned college town, despite how sketchy downtown is.

That being said, I don't know much about this guy, and obviously, UF offering him late and preferring him as an offensive, rather than defensive, player might make this a long shot for us. However, crazier things have happened. UF can offer him early PT, bigger exposure, and three-four years in Florida sounds a lot more appealing weather-wise than New York. If the kid just likes you guys more, though, than that's awesome. I can always appreciate kids who commit to programs because they fell in love with it.
