Gators Recruiting Talk: Summer review plus the latest intel

What’s the latest in Florida Gators football recruiting? Blake Alderman, Corey Bender and Keith Niebuhr of Gators Online tackle a range of topics, provide the latest intel and offer analysis of UF in this edition Gators Recruiting Talk.

Right now, UF has 19 commitments and the No. 12 recruiting class in the Rivals team rankings. Fourteen of those players are 4-star prospects.

Here are today’s show topics:

—(2:30 mark) The crew breaks down the commitment of 4-star receiver Davian Groce. The touted prospect recently committed to UF over Oklahoma and Baylor. We discuss how the Gators won out and what kind of talent they’re getting. Groce is a raw receiver with an enormous upside. He also can run the ball out of the backfield.

—(9:53): Biggest summer takeaways for Gators recruiting. It wasn’t that long ago that UF had only one commitment and sat outside the top 75. Now Florida is pushing for a top-10 class.

—(12:07): Biggest surprise pickup so far. Blake and Corey share their thoughts.

—(14:12: Blake and Corey each talk at length about their favorite offensive and defensive players on the UF commitment list.

—(17:04): Grading the class: Factoring in quantity plus quality, the Gators Online gang ranks the Florida Gators’ recruiting class as things sit right now. Blake has UF with a B-minus while Corey went with a B. Each of them went into detail on how they got to those grades and what it would take for Florida to finish in the A range when the recruiting class is complete.

—(23:12): Blake and Corey provide up-to-the minute intel on a handful of key Florida targets, from 5-star safety Bralan Womack, who will announce his decision later this week, to top-100 Texas defensive line commit James Johnson. Meanwhile, it appears the Gators will continue to try to chip aways at multiple other targets also committed elsewhere and we go into detail on that.
