ORLANDO \u2014 Naeshaun Montgomery,<\/a> a 4-star receiver at Miami (Fla.) Central who will officially visit the Gators soon, said Sunday he has been impressed with Florida\u2019s consistency in recruiting him.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThey never stop communicating no matter what,\u201d Montgomery told Gators Online. \u201cFrom the minute I got the offer until now, they\u2019ve put the communication at 100.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Montgomery, the Gators couldn\u2019t recruit him any harder.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like a 10 (out of 10),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Montgomery, listed at 6-foot-1 and 165 pounds, is the No. 31 receiver in the country for the On3 Industry Rankings He has visited Florida multiple times and will return May 31 for his official.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For Montgomery, that visit will mostly be about bonding more with the people inside the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen it all at (Florida),\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s just a great program and I\u2019d definitely be coached by the top coaches.\u201d<\/p>\n

Naeshaun Montgomery<\/a> is impressed by UF\u2019s player development<\/h2>\n

To Montgomery, Florida receivers coach Billy Gonzales<\/a> and the rest of those coaching the Gators receivers had a major impact on Ricky Pearsall\u2019s growth as a player during his two seasons in Gainesville. Pearsall was taken in the first round of the NFL Draft last week and that got Montgomery\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s definitely a great player and under the great coaching staff they definitely got him ready for the next level,\u201d Montgomery said. \u201cThey developed him. He was born like that, but they added a few tools to his box and got him ready for the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

To Montgomery, player development is a key factor in his recruitment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means a lot,\u201d he said. \u201cMy goal is to make it to the next level. They say they can definitely get me ready for the next level \u2014 add a lot of tools to my toolbox. I definitely trust all the coaches there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the Gators, he added, \u201cThey sit really high.\u201d<\/p>\n

To land Montgomery, Florida is battling the likes of Alabama, FSU, LSU and Penn State.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He\u2019s up in the air about a decision time, but said a commitment could happen as early as his spring game in May or as late as right before his season. Florida figures to be player to the end.<\/p>\n
