Many recruits who have already committed to Florida are wondering what is going on in Gainesville and not with the record of the team, but with the status of Billy Napier's job. Many already committed recruits probably picked Florida because of some sort of relationship they have made with Napier, so if he goes, they just might leave as well.
That could very well be the case for Kaiden Hall, a safety committed to the Gators currently, but is making a visit to Florida State today amid the Napier rumors.
Hall spoke with Josh Newberg with Rivals about his visit with Florida State, and while he is looking around the Seminoles, he hopes that Napier can string some wins together in order to keep him committed. If Napier is fired, he is keeping his options open, and the Seminoes were one back in his days of open recruitment.

Hall is a key commit for Florida, coming in as a four-star recruit in the Class of 2026, ranked as the No. 236 player in the Class of 2026, the No. 19 safety in his class, and the No. 32 player in the state of Florida, according to 247Sports.
Again, Hall doesn't want to change his commitment, but he has to keep his options open, especially if the coach he wants to play for ends up leaving the school he committed to.
Hall is not the only Florida commit that the Seminoles are trying to flip, amongst these Napier rumors. Running back commit Carsyn Baker is also making a visit to Tallahassee today for the big matchup against Miami, and if the Seminoles can get a big win, they just might impress these guys enough to get a flip out of them.
