Found the answer myself in this article…http://recruiting.blogs.gatorsports.com/15214/more-out-of-state-visitors-this-weekend/

DB Edward Paris from Arlington TX, TE Cole Cook and DT Dontavius Russell from Carrolton, GA. Russell and Paris are both big time prospects.

Had a few visitors earlier in the week. You can read about them in the article.

Dontavius Russell ‏@Russ_Dont98
I think thats best visit I've had so far. Holding that Crystal Ball and that ring felt good.



Russell has already been to UGA and Bama so that is pretty big

Sounds like he had a great time. He looks like a great prospect and would be a nice replacement or compliment to Valentine.

How good is the DT from Brooklyn?

Here are Cook's highlights seems a little stiff to me. The other TE's we are looking at are not as tall but have a lot more wiggle. I would want to see him in camp before I offer if but thats just me.

He is really good has only played 8 games of high school football. Grew up a basketball player so he is very athletic for the position.

It will be interesting to see how many DT's we take this year. The biggest need on the DL is BUCK this cycle

Looks like there's a lot of talent out there that would fit our needs at Buck. A lot of them seem to have early interest in UF. Either one of Carter or Thornton would be a huge start, but I'm guessing we'll go for two.

Paris top 3 is Texas, LSU, UF. Longhorns feel he is a gator lock.

we will probably take 2 or 3 a lot of rumors about Thornton having grade problems.

If you can't make grades in Alabama public schools, you might not be ready for a four year college anywhere. Maybe he's a sign and place. He sure wants to be a Gator. Love his story.

Highly doubt we do a sign and place with anybody. They will stay on him and see how he progresses if there is not improvement staff will move on.

Florida public school systems are far from better lol

Beat me to it. Doubt Florida public schools are more than marginally better, if at all.

That's true. My brother is in his second year teaching high school up in the panhandle. He's ready to bail.

Russel had a great time on his visit.


Kalvaraz Bessent who came in earlier in the week went to Bama this weekend and enjoyed his visit. As or right now it looks like Bama and Florida lead a host of others. FSU and the vols just extended him an offer. I cant find film on but it seems as though every school in the south wants him. Looks like he is very high on our board. My guess is Bessent & Tabor are the top two corners we are after.

We have a lot of good options at corner with Wesley Green DJ Smith Grant Haley & Chirs Lammons all very interested in Florida. I would think all of those guys will end up ranked somewhere in the top 35 corners when all is said and done.

It will be interesting to see what they do with the safety position. I think Dawson is probably a safety but not sure where the staff is going to put him. If they think he is a corner then they would probably take one safety. If we are going to take a safety I think that guy should be Kendall Gant. Jamal Adams seems to be all about playing as a freshmen and that is just not going to happen at FLorida

Like the film on gant. Looks smooth in coverage, versatile covering on the outside/slot, couple of big hits, nice ball skills. What's our chances of signing him AZ?

If we take a safety this cycle and its not Gant I am going to be pissed even though nobody cares what I think

#OhioState also offered Lakeland (Fla) Lake gibson cornerback Kendall Gant today
