It has been a busy start to the week for the Florida Gators as the coaches are out on the road again and while they’re seeing several 2018 prospects, they’re seeing an offering many underclassmen.
With the early signing period now in effect, it has given coaches around the country the chance to start working on underclassmen and the Gators have taken full advantage of that.
