The Florida Gators are officially down to 18 verbal commitments as running back Dalvin Cook’s (5-11, 192 Miami, FL Central) decommitted from Florida on Tuesday night and committed to Florida State.
Cook who had been committed to Florida since April 6th made his third commitment after committing to Clemson, Florida and now Clemson.
The loss Cook is a tough one to swallow for the Gators who arguably lose the one offense player who could have helped on the field for Florida in 2014.
There are also several other ramifications to losing Cook and that is that 2015 receiver Davonte Phillips is likely to follow him as well as 2014 receiver Ermon Lane, who is also committed to Florida.
If there is any good news in this whole recruiting it is that Florida State could still lose head coach Jimbo Fisher to Texas which could push Cook back to Florida if it happens before he enrolls in Tallahassee next week.
With Florida now having zero running backs committed in the Class of 2014 the coaching staff will turn their attention to Jeff Jones and Gainesville’s own Tony James, who is committed to Oregon.
The Gators could also turn up the heat for Alabama commitment Bo Scarbrough but the chance of him even visiting Gainesville is unlikely let alone signing with Florida.

This should not have happened; hopefully Texas makes their move quick.
