Looks like a great receiver!

[MadduxFanII]

Something of a winding road to get to this point, but good to finally have him on board.

[gatordee]

Finally!!! Perhaps he saw something that made him think he will see the field early. Welcome aboard!

[WindoverG8tr]

Welcome to the Gators Mr. Bailey!

“When I woke up this morning, I was just so, like, ready to just do this,’’ Bailey said. “I woke up and I was like, ‘Mom, I’m ready.’ She said, ‘Okay, let’s call Coach Cal,’ and he congratulated me and told me he was behind me 100 percent.’’

Bailey then texted Davis.

“I was just ready to be a Gator, man.”

While Bailey said Jones wasn’t the main reason he was committing to Florida, it was clear the running back played a big part in the decision.

“I grew up a Gator fan and Matt Jones being up there made me see that it’s a great college. Having Matt up there when I get up there is going to be great,” Bailey said.

Bailey, who had 975 yards passing, 872 yards rushing, 404 yards receiving and 14 total TDs in 2011, will join 2012 recruits Jordan Sherit (Hillsborough), Vernon Hargreaves (Wharton) and Joey Ivie (Pasco) in Gainesville next season, giving the Gators an impressive haul from Tampa Bay.

Don't think anyone gives six stars. He's got four and ranked #69 and #90 on espn and Rivals respectively. He's a consensus top 100 player.

Glad to see you've joined the good guys Alvin :)

Welcome to the Gator family Alvin!

Kid looked really good at the Opening... I felt like every time I looked up he was making a TD catch.


Go Gators!

His first TD was rather impressive, snatching the ball away from the defender in the end zone. My first time actually watching him play other than highlights and I'm glad he's a gator 100 percent
