"With the loses of receivers coach Billy Gonzales (LSU) and defensive coordinator Charlie Strong (Louisville) I wanted to know how the recruiting visits and talks were going with the other Florida assistant coaches. Running backs coach Kenny Carter said early last week that even without those two — who were considered top recruiters for the Gators — he and the other assistants haven’t had to adjust much.
Urban Meyer spent all week recruiting, mainly in California, and is the Gators’ No. 1 recruiter. Period. End of discussion. The assistants are very, very important, but Florida has one of the best in the game. So while new relationships will have to be made, Florida isn’t missing much with Meyer at the helm. Yes, Chris Martin (California) and Jeff Luc (Florida State) were probably affected by the loss of those two assistant coaches, but Florida is still in the running for top players at defensive end and linebacker, so it’s not like this class will completely fall apart."
