I will try to update this thread throughout the day with who has signed so far. As of now it looks like it is just the early enrollees plus Justin Trattou. Here is the list.

A few new people have been added to the board.

Finch signing is big. He had previously been committed to Indiana and word came out yesterday that he would sign with us. However, he still said it wasn't official or something like that, so I'm glad to see he is now officially a Gator.

Brown is huge as well, a 5-star DT. Hopefully he makes the grades and will be able to play for us this coming year.

Jones is supposed to be a slightly underrated LB from Sarasota.

James Wilson's LOI just came in as I was typing. This guy is a stud OG. He was the #2 rated OG in the nation on Scout and is a 5*. He will add depth to the o-line which is always needed.

Awesome thread Doc

No problemo. I love recruiting and signing day is the day we've been waiting for. I will update this off and on throughout the day. I am headed in to the office and will update in-between meetings and research and homework. If anybody hears of any signings that I haven't posted yet, feel free to simply reply with the name. I will add it to the official list at the top as soon as I get back on.

Good thread. I'll be watching this one all day.

 

[PhD Gator]

It's looks as though (even though I haven't seen the OFFICIAL yet) Major Wright and Moses Jenkins are now signed. Looks like the secondary is getting this over quickly (Finch, Wright, Jenkins)

 

[PhD Gator]

Rumor has it that Jay Howard's LOI is now in. He's only a 3-star DE, but most people think he could be VERY underrated. He also was one of the players that some thought might sign elsewhere, so it will be nice to officially know he is in the class. Our d-line recruiting this year has been unbelievable, especially at DE.

 

[PhD Gator]

It's look as though Chas Henry and Lorenzo Edwards are both in. I'm posting a lot of these without confirmation from Scout or Rivals, but when I see confirmation from different people that I feel always give the correct information.

Henry is huge obviously as he will most likely step right in to the punter position.

Edwards is good enough at LB that he might actually step right in to a starting role as well.

 

[PhD Gator]

It's looks as though everybody that I have posted so far has been confirmed by Scout now (all the way through #19). If I've heard correctly Deonte Thompson will be announcing at 3:30. I really hope we land him as we could definitely use another WR in this class and he could be special.

 

[PhD Gator]

Duke Lemmens is now in. He's a 4-star DE from California.

Our defensive end rotation is just going to be nasty over the next couple of years. We are going to wear out some offensive tackles on the way to destroying some QBs.

 

[PhD Gator]

Torrey Davis is now in. 5-star DT and rated the #2 DT on Scout. Another big signing.

 

[PhD Gator]

Carlos Dunlap is now in. 5-star DE. I'm glad to see that he is now as well as there were some grumblings of him switching to South Carolina.

 

[PhD Gator]

Looks like we can now add Brandon Hicks as well. We are getting close to full. I believe we still have Rainey, Brantley, Wilks and possibly Grant. I don't know if Grant will sign with us or not from what I've heard. We also still have to wait and see on Deonte Thompson. Beyond that, I don't know of anybody else, but you never know.

 

[PhD Gator]

Rainey and Wilks are both in I'm hearing. Only a couple more to go. I REALLY hope we are able to land Deonte Thompson this afternoon. He would really round out this class nicely.

 

[PhD Gator]

Brantley is in. It looks like we are done with everything now until we hear from Thompson. There is always the possibility of another surprise signing or two, but I haven't heard about anything specific.

 

[rawdog]

Looks like an awesome day for us.

 

[PhD Gator]

5-star WR Deonte Thompson is a GATOR!!! What a way to round out this class. There is very little doubt that we will have the #1 recruiting class according to almost every recruiting site. Great job Meyer and Co. Welcome to the Gator Nation all of you new Gators!!! :Banane25: :Banana:

 

[SexyRexy]

That is great news!!! I really thought we needed a stud WR, especially since Toliver pooned out on us.

 

[Mr2Bits]

Great day for Florida Gators. Another #1 recruiting class. Of course that doesn't mean anything if these guys don't pan out. But my gut is saying yes! Congrats to all the high schoolers, and to those that enrolled early.

I think we signed 7 or 8 players from the class 5A national champion Lakeland team

that is good because the players already have good team chemistry... and they are national champions
