Specifically what are our thoughts on this:
Somewhat incredibly, Florida has fallen all the way from 54 percent in 2014 to 37 percent now, easily the lowest they’ve been in a decade. The reason is the inability to land star players in 2014-16, with only 23 four- and five-stars among 70 signees. Jim McElwain shook up his staff, it paid dividends in the 2017 class, and the Gators are in line to sign an elite crop in the 2018 cycle. It’s Florida; the Gators should never be signing fewer star players than 18 other teams in a four-year period.

Recruiting is all about getting players that will produce. It is the lifeblood of a program.
Muschamp was always top 10 or top 5 in the SEC but still went 4-8 in his third year.
I could cherry pick our former players that were 3*s that were great and the 5*s that sucked. Not going to do that because we know who they are. I will say that I like UF's 2017 roster a lot more than the 2014 roster.

I don't think you can ever look at just 1 statistics and expect to have clear predictive qualities, especially in college football, as to specific performance - but I bet the champion comes off that list, just like he said.
But on paper, this is the least talented UF has been in a long while, and they will be relying on a lot of 3 stars to play above their on paper scores this year, especially on defense and the OL.
It'll be interesting to see how things shake out this year as far as player performance. It could go a long way in cementing Mac as a magician at talent evaluation.

No comment as to the overall talent level but this class is a step in getting us back to the top.
