Gators have four top-10 recruits

[cruzg24]

Florida may have lost in the SEC title game and coach Urban Meyer may be taking a leave of absence, but nothing has slowed the Gators on national letter-of-intent signing day.



Powell

Florida has received verbal commitments from five five-star players in the ESPNU 150, including the top player, defensive end Ronald Powell of Moreno Valley, Calif. The Gators also have commitments from the top defensive tackle in the class, Dominique Easley of Staten Island, N.Y., (No. 3 in the rankings) and safety Jonathan Dowling of Bradenton, Fla. (No. 10 in the rankings).

Matt Elam, No. 9 in the ESPNU rankings, has also signed with Florida. He was a running back and linebacker in high school, but appears headed for defense in college.

ESPNU has live coverage and analysis of signings throughout the day.

National runner-up Texas has the No. 2 class in the ESPNU rankings, led by Jackson Jeffcoat, a defensive end from Plano, Texas, and the son of former Dallas Cowboy Jim Jeffcoat. The Longhorns also have signed Jordan Hicks, the top outside linebacker in the class from West Chester, Ohio.

Alabama, the defending national champ, has the No. 3 class which includes the nation's top quarterback, Phillip Sims of Chesapeake, Va.

Auburn, the Crimson Tide's biggest rival, picked up the nation's top running back, Michael Dyer of Little Rock, Ark. Auburn has the No. 5 class in the country, according to ESPNU.

Georgia, despite not having any commitment from a top-10 player, is ilkely to end up with a top 10 class, according to ESPNU. Alec Ogletree, a safety from Newnam, Ga., is their top-ranked player.

Florida State has a commitment from the top cornerback in the class, Lamarcus Joyner from Miami. Jeff Luc, the top outside linebacker in the class from Port St. Lucie, Fla., has signed with Florida State.

New USC coach Lane Kiffin has one top-10 recruit in his class. Robert Woods, the No. 1 wide receiver from Gardena, Calif., has committed to the Trojans.

Among the undeclared players, offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson of St. Paul, Minn., is the No. 9-ranked player in the class. Demar Dorsey, a safety from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and No. 12 is the rankings, is also undeclared.

This is really good to see. As long as we get the best players in the country, we should be fine.

I played against Easley... God <Censored>ing damn that kid is a monster.

 

[Tigers94]

That's gotta be cool as a fan of a team to see them get so many good recruits, I know I was really happy just to find out that Michigan got the 12th ranked recruit. But four in the top-10? Daaaaangg.

[$tunna]

That defense is going to be God-like.

Seriously.

Bringing back Ahmad Black and Janorice Jenkins, we'll have the best safeties in the NCAA.

Lol I doubt that man. You know this is just recruiting not everyone lives up to potential.

 

[Yankees2772]

Dom Easley is gonna be a force off the edge (I assume he's gonna go play DE both for them in their 3-3-5 and in the NFL.

True; however, most of the guys UF brings in work out well.

Jenkins, Wright, Black, Hernandez, Dunlap, Harvin, Tebow...

I'm pretty sure there are more guys that don't work out

 

[Blake]

I just don't see it, not the four-five star recruits. Maybe the two-to-three star guys, yes.

 

[Mooche]

Florida clearly dominated... but not worried, as a Texas fan. We have a nice core still being built, around a stud QB and there is no reason why we won't be in serious contention in a few years. We picked up some nice recruits this year, too. (Jeffcoat, Hicks etc.)

 

[$tunna]

I still ain't worried haha we'll see who really matters when fall comes around..

[elcheato]

Meyer probably gonna bail now that he got Florida their class.

SMH it's all good. You'll see lol
