** This thread discusses the Content article: Official G1 Football Recruiting Update **

Now the season is over, Urban Meyer and his staff will start to focus solely on recruiting. National signing day is February 4th and there is a lot of work to be done, especially making up for all those that are leaving. Here is a detailed list of commits and recruits that have Florida on their radar. This list has links to scout.com, rivals.com, and espnu.com that will give a little more background on these players. We at GatorsFirst will be adding our own analysis to these players and their impact to the future of the program. If anyone hears of any news on any of these players, or other players that we don't have, please leave a comment at the bottom and we'll update it. We will be updating this on a regular basis, so please check back often. Enjoy!

Andre Debose. Hell yeah!

Debose is the prime catch for this class......Marlon Brown and Debose would be one hell of a combo, kinda like a Caldwell/Gaffeny tandam.

I know that Marlon visits gainesville this weekend. I have heard that OSU is in the lead for his services followed by UGA and UT and then UF. Hopefully they can charm the pants off and get him onboard.

Is it insensitive if I make the Colorado joke here?

All jokes aside, are there any reports about any of the recruits that came in this past weekend? It was a HUGE weekend for recruits in Gainesville

Here is a report from the G'ville Sun.

What is the record for attracting recruits whose name gets chanted? I remember Lon Kruger recruiting Vince Carter. And the chants/signs/etc. Obviously that didn't work out. And it seems like every January there is a football recruit whose name gets chanted... anyone with time on their hands or a better memory than I going to put up a list, and see what the %ages are? I bet its lower, because you don't need to chant guys that have already commited, it's probably someone who's already committed somewhere else but is still on an official to UF.
