Florida ended signing day with the No. 6 class in the SEC -- better than last year, but still not near the standard set before Jim McElwain arrived in Gainesville.
The focus for this recruiting season, though, was not on what happened Wednesday. Florida still ended up No. 12 nationally, with an A-minus on its report card, largely because of the work it did before this week.
Sure, getting a few more commitments Wednesday from ESPN 300 players would have enhanced the class. But what is most important to the Florida coaches is this: 12 mid-year enrollees are already on campus, more than any program in the country except UAB (which does not begin playing football again until 2017).
