While a lot of recruits have said that they're going to stick with Florida, you have to wonder what this is going to mean for the program after the bowl. Florida has a lot of juniors that could make a good run through the draft and those who were leaning on the fence may decide that with Urban gone, it's time to leave as well. Yes, Tebow is gone but Brantley is a quality QB, who got a lot of quality playing time in his two years as Tebow's back up and the team could have made another run at the SEC next year with their returning players but if they're gutted by defections, it could mean an 8-4 regular season for them next year.
You also have to wonder how the team will play in the bowl. Will they give it their all to win one last one for the coach or will they be distraced and disheartened by his pending loss? I'm guessing the former but I wouldn't be surprised by the latter.
