ATLANTA — As Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs prepare to play their biggest game of the year, other teams in the SEC have the week off.
What do you do when you’re off? You recruit.
According to Zach Abolverdi, from SEC Country, that's exactly what new Florida coach Dan Mullen plans to do.

The Georgia vs. Auburn game will be broadcast on radio by WSB 750 AM and 95.5 FM. The game can also be heard on 680 AM and 93.7 FM.
Abolverdi reports that Mullen is set to visit Justin Fields, the nation's No. 1 overall recruit, on Tuesday.
Fields, a five-star quarterback from Harrison High School in Kennesaw, committed to Georgia last month. But before that, he was previously heavily recruited by the Gators staff. The coaches stopped recruiting him after landing a commitment from Matt Corral in July.
According to Abolverdi's report, Fields will consider taking an official visit to Florida. He spoke highly of Mullen and his success with quarterbacks recently to 247Sports.
"I don't really have a great relationship with coach Mullen, but just seeing his past quarterback experience and the troubles Florida have had at the position, he should be able to help them get back to where they were with Tim Tebow," Fields told 247Sports. "I know he's coached Dak Prescot and Alex Smith, and I hear he is a pretty good quarterback coach. I think he will turn Florida around and make them a successful program."
Rumors starting swirling again this week when Fields followed Dan Mullen and the official Florida Gators football accounts on Twitter.
