    It seemed a little weird that almost everybody would already have their LOI in by 8am. However, what I am hearing is that Rivals has moved them to having officially signed their LOI simply because the only school they asked to receive LOI's to sign from was UF. Therefore it is pretty evident that they will be signing for UF.

    It seems as though, according to Rivals, the only prior verbals we are waiting to sign are Barnum and Buchanon.

    Then we are obviously waiting for any other surprises. Lawrence is probably the most likely, though there is always a chance on guys like Jones, Knox, Bryant, etc. We'll see how the rest of the day plays out. Hopefully Rivals is right on all these guys that they are definitely signing with UF and we will already have most of our class filled up.

    It looks like we just lost our first in Buchanon. He has signed for Miami. Let's hope the coaches had some great contingency plans in place in the even that anybody switched like this.

    I guess its not just Buchanon either, its also Barnum. I hate losing these guys on signing day like this, but both were known to be wavering a little so hopefully Meyer and Co. have some players ready to pull the trigger to take their spots.

    There were some rumblings that Hunter was having second thoughts and may sign with UGA, but it looks as though he has signed with UF. That would have been an absolutely HUGE loss, so I'm glad it looks like it will be alright.

    So are we done at 20 with the two losses?

    I was hoping to see a surprise commitment, but nothing has happened.

    After the TJ Lawrence commitment, that should be it unless something surprising happens. This is a great, top 5 class according to most people out there.

    Sucks losing Barnum. I really thought we could use some young OL talent.

    Glad we added a 3rd Offensive Lineman. Hope he turns out to be better than Barnum

    Only thing we're missing from that pic is a quarterback.
