National Signing Day is less than two weeks away and this weekend the Gators are hosting their biggest recruiting weekend to date. A number of top prospects are drinking in all that Gainesville has to offer. If you don’t know by now, recruiting is serious business. If you don’t believe me, look at the number of recruiting websites there are. Not to mention the number of people who are paid to talk about the futures of 17 & 18 year old boys. Recruiting is the life blood of any program. Missing out on a big time prospect can set a program back 5-10 years. Just look at Albalmalba. In 2006, they came oh-so-close to landing Tim Tebow, but missed out and they’ve never been able to recover since.

Florida currently has 18 commitments and will likely finish with a class between 25-29. According to the big three recruiting sites (Rivals, ESPN, Scout) Florida’s current class ranks in the top 10 in all of them and class rankings mean EVERYTHING! I take my recruiting just as serious as anyone else. That’s why I’m going to breakdown each of the remaining prospects on Florida’s board.

As the NFL is the hottest thing in sports at this moment, Krutch and JB return to give you another in their series of wildly popular podcasts! The archives of older episodes can be found here.

Listen to the latest episode right here.

This week, the guys talk about last week's games which saw fan favorite Tim Tebow and Vegas favorites such as the Packers and Saints fall. Then they look ahead to the AFC and NFC Championship games, before briefly discussing a big recruiting weekend in Florida Gators country.

This morning, I saw an interesting tweet from our friend @DK_Thompson, which pointed me to this article.

According to the article, Paxton Lynch, a 6'6'', 225 lb. QB at Trinity Christian in Jacksonville earned the start in a recent Central Florida All-Star game, where he impressed the coaches during the practice week, and then completed 9 of 12 passes for 237 yards and 2 TDs. He supposedly has an offer from FAMU, and from Florida Tech's new D-II program (which isn't scheduled to start playing until 2013). Quotes from Lynch's father indicate he has received interest from UCF, USF, Temple, Indiana, and Florida. He says ''Florida's showing some of the strongest interest right now'', and the article states that Lynch will take an official visit to Florida on Jan. 27th. Lynch was injured for much of his senior year.

Could the Florida Gators add a QB in the class of 2012?

The Bush League Sports Podcast couldn't leave you without a week in which Krutch and JB discuss the NFL!  The guys previously discussed the end of the college football season here.

This week's NFL-centric edition of the Bush League Sports podcast recaps the wildcard round action (especially a gentleman named Tim Tebow), touches on the coaching carousel, and looks ahead toward the divisional round of playoff games.

Technical difficulties prevented the guys from giving you their bowl knowledge in advance, so you'll have to settle for Krutch and JB imparting their particular brand of wisdom as they recap the bowl action. Also, Will Muschamp has made a hire for Florida Gators offensive coordinator: former Boise State OC Brent Pease! Finally, the focus turns to Gator basketball.

With classes starting next week, I thought I'd give a quick look at the Florida Gators football players who will be enrolling early for the 2012 season.

These players get the benefit of going through spring practice with their new coaches, and could be ready to make an impact on next year's team. Height, weight, stars, etc. are as given by ESPN. Recruiting season has officially exploded thanks to last night's Under Armour game, you can read about the Gators in the game right here.

Florida basketball's non-conference season is over. Florida visits Knoxville to open the SEC season as the take on the Vols at 11 am ET (you can watch on ESPN2).

I had the opportunity to cover the final two home games for GatorsFirst.com. Here are some thoughts:
