Does anyone have a list of visitors for 2/22-2/24 weekend?

StrangeGator · 02-23-2013, 04:23 PM

Found the answer myself in this article…http://recruiting.blogs.gatorsports....-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.

Thanks Strange.

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

GATORAZ · 02-23-2013, 10:18 PM

I think he is all LSU but it is a long time until NSD

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?

GATORAZ · 02-24-2013, 03:51 PM

2014 TE Cole Cook...measured in 6-5,235 lbs and caught everything today. Top performer at MVP Camp ran 4.75 too.”

GATORAZ · 02-24-2013, 03:55 PM

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.
