The recruiting world will all be playing close attention to what is going on in Beaverton, Oregon this week when the top prospects in the country participate in The Opening camp that is sponsored by Nike.
In this edition of the Gator Country podcast Nick de la Torre and Andrew Spivey break down the prospects that you should be watching in regards to who the Florida Gators are after and have a chance with.
The biggest name to watch this week is Gators cornerback commit Chauncey Gardner, who is sure to be talking to many top prospects and will definitely be one of the biggest trash talkers during the 7-on-7 tournament.
We will have a full transcript of the podcast as soon as possible.
I am repeating myself and I could be wrong about the QB recruiting situation. First, I do not think the kid from Texas will commit to the Gators if a quality program in the State of Texas really wants him. A top-trier QB from Texas is unlikely to come to a rebuilding program like Florida when there are alternatives. Secondly, I have to wonder why UF does not make a bigger effort for QB Xavier Gaines (6’2″ 208 lbs.). This kid is a highly rated QB, is from the State of Florida and appears to have a real interest in the Gators. That said, I have confidence in Coach Mac and Staff to make the right decision. Still, I have to wonder.
