While Billy Donovan and his staff at the University of Florida are obviously celebrating the commitment of Eloy Vargas (6-10, 220, Plantation, FL American Heritage), there is no time off on the recruiting trail. The class of 2008 might be complete, thanks to Vargas, but the Gators are already working hard on the 2009 and 2010 class.

The Gators are getting unofficial visits this weekend from a couple of big time prospects in Ari Stewart (6-7, 190, Marietta, GA Wheeler) and Kendall Williams (6-2, 165, Rancho Cucamonga, CA Los Osos).

He’s got a very good outside shot, but what makes him so dangerous is his ability to put the ball on the deck and take it to the hoop where he can finish with authority.
