Gator Country

The Florida Gators have zeroed in on one big man as they try to put together the final pieces of their basketball recruiting class of 2008. If the Gators can add one more big man as the fourth commitment, it would give Florida the luxury to wait it out for talented Eloy Vargas, who may not make his decision until the spring.

Colton Iverson (6-10, 245, Yankton, SD) is getting the full-court press from the Gators and it looks like the best prospect from South Dakota since Mike Miller just might follow in the footsteps of the best prep player in state history. Iverson’s list of favorites includes Iowa, Iowa State, Minnesota, Nebraska and Florida and apparently the Gators have elbowed their way to the top spot.
