THE PATE STATE READ
Florida has another look at Lee Steele. The Gators have built a connection that reaches beyond the usual recruiting contact, and Steele’s return to Gainesville gives that relationship another live test. Lee Steele’s next Florida visit is the event that matters most. Until that visit produces a commitment, a public decision, or a clear change in his recruitment, this is meaningful movement rather than a finished deal. Florida earned another meeting.
