signing day is only 3 weeks away, and most of the top players have already committed. But not everybody has made up their mind and these players may just be leaning toward the University of Florida.
1. Seantrel Henderson, OT, St. Paul (MN) Cretin-Durham: Henderson may just be the top player in the 2010 class and is maybe the best offensive line prospect since Orlando Pace. His talent has warranted attention from every major program in the country, especially Florida. With Sharrif Floyd and Ronald Powell committing during the Army game, Henderson may just want to follow these guys down to Gainesville.
2. Jordan Hicks, LB, West Chester (OH) Lakota West: Hicks visited Gainesville a few months and said that his mom fell in love with Coach Meyer. Hicks has also been recruited hard by the in-state Buckeyes and Texas among others. But Hicks is the prototypical linebacker for the Gators defense and he said he really liked the school. Then again, he wouldn’t have to go too far to play that same style for Charlie Strong at Louisville.
3. Christian Green, QB/ATH, Tampa (FL) Catholic: When you’re the top QB in the Sunshine State, you better know the Gators will have you on their radar. Green has the makings of the perfect Spread QB and is a great athlete, but strong pushes from Miami and Georgia have kept Green from committing to the Gators. Also now that Skip Holtz is in Tampa, Green may just commit to USF.
4. Christian Jones, LB, Winter Park (FL) Lake Howell: Jones is the best prospect to come out of the Orlando area since Lorenzo Edwards, also a Gator. With Jeff Luc commited to FSU, Jones may be a necessity for the Gators as they are also losing all 3 starting linebackers. Jones has the makings to be a star wherever he goes, but he may just find immediate stardom in Gainesville.
5. Matt James, OT, Cincinnati (OH) St. Xavier: Florida would love nothing more than to steal one of the top players in the city away from the Bearcats, therefore adding insult to injury after the sugar bowl beat down. But James also may just be the best offensive lineman in the country other than Henderson. James has the makings of a Jake Long type player and with Florida needing help on the line, James could play right away. We should know where he stands after his visit to florida next weekend.
6. Chaz Green, OT, Tampa (FL) Catholic: idk if he’s related to Christian Green (same last name and school) but i do know that he’s a fantastic lineman with loads of talent, who was most recently leaning toward tennessee after almost committing to the Gators. now that lane kiffin is gone, Green may just make a 2-man package from Catholic High for the Gators.
7. Ivan McCartney, WR, Miramar (FL): Chad Ochocinco’s cousin is one of the most talented receivers in the country and could be a star right away for the Gators. All he has to do is decide between Florida and West Virginia.
8. Dietrich Riley, ATH, La Canada (CA) St. Francis: This guy appeared to be a lock for Gainesville after Matt Elam’s short commit to FSU, but with Elam’s committment back toward Florida, Riley may just decide to stay in California. However, Riley may just decide he doesn’t want to be a Safety and decide to play on the offensive side of the ball for the Gators.
9. Hayes Pullard, ATH, Los Angeles (CA) Crenshaw: Urban Meyer would love nothing more than to steal this talented athlete right out of the heart of USC’s recruiting base. But Pullard is also an extremely talented player who could be a dynamite hitter as a linebacker or could be the first hammer running back the Gators have had in the Meyer era. Either way, he’s gonna bring the pain. But most likely, he might end up signing with Cal.
10. Michael Taylor, LB, Atlanta (GA) Westlake: This guy has actually already committed to Florida. Just hours after lane kiffin left for USC, Taylor switched his committment to Florida, giving the Gators a very talented outside linebacker and a huge pickup in the Georgia recruiting base. Taylor may need a year to add muscle, but he’s got all the tools to succeed in the SEC.
GO GATORS!!!!
Nice =)
