The Florida Gators landed their biggest commitment — and signing — of the young Dan Mullen Era on Wednesday, as four-star Georgia passer announced his commitment to the Gators in a ceremony at his high school.
And Florida’s coaches were plenty happy about that announcement, as video the program has released of them watching Jones make his public pledge shows.
But as for “the reaction says it all”: I read a whole lot more happiness than surprise or relief in that room. And given that Florida tweeted out the news of Jones’s signing just seconds after he made his commitment, it would seem clear that this was — like most public commitments — one made with coaches in the know, rather than in the dark.
