As of now makes sense. I'm hoping Valentine sticks, he's been wavering for months lol.

He will continue to waver but CWM didnt lose a player he really wanted last year so I believe he can hold onto him. Bronson continues to visit other schools as well he was at Miami's jr day this weekend.

Thanks, AZ.

Quick question: NC has really been good to UF in recent times. Do you think we can snag one or more of Hood, Street and Spain, especially with a high profile kid from their state already on board?

Hood has no FLorida offer that I know of. I dont know who Street is. I think Florida has Pease recruiting Spain and I have no faith in him pulling in an OL that seems to want to stay close to home or go to Stanford.

As usual, we're in on almost half the kids on the list. Better than half of the top 30 or so. Nice geographic spread, with kids from California, Texas, Washington, Missouri, Illinois plus our Georgia to Jersey corridor up the east coast. That indicates to me that the Gator "brand" is back. Also indicates that our coaches are burning up the phones and emails. Out of the 45 or so kids listing UF, there don't seem to be many OL. Not a concern at this point. Lots of talent yet to be identified.

Nice to see Grier listed as the #1 QB. I think Rivals is the only service that has him that high. So much for the f$u bias. Once again, we will do very well on signing day with the group that's listed now. My hunch is that we'll have a great class, slightly smaller and more top heavy. I can see us getting as many as four 5 star types. Only problem there is that Bama is listed by even more of the top players than UF. Our edge on Bama is that we have more talent in state.

Rivals has Watson as the #1QB strange

He likes our new DL coach who had been recruiting him for South Carolina. There's an entire thread about him. Some speculation that he might be a lean to VT.

Thanks for the reply. Kentavious Street is a 5 star DE on Rivals' new list linked in the OP.

I think I have seen his name maybe once before I know nothing about him

I hadn't heard of him until this Rivals list came out. I was just taking a look at the NC prospects on the list because we tend to do unusually well in the Tarheel state.

I don't know much about next years crop of recruits yet, but the top 100 seems extremly light on Florida recruits.
I doubt that stays the same through NSD 2014.

Doesn't look like Tampa or Jacksonville are as strong as last year CWM is going to have to go out of state or to South Florida. Not sure CWM wants to deal with the BS in south Florida.

Another problem for Florida is with the coaching change at FSU Florida and FSU are looking at a lot of the same DL and LB prospects.
