Florida Football Road To Signing Day: Gators Final Class Predictions
We are within 24 hours from signing day and it’s getting hectic. What are the final predicted landing spots for the remaining, undecided targets for the Florida Gators?
First off, let me discuss this quickly. There will be no news, checking in, rumors or any of those subsections this week. They won’t matter in 24 hours. The kids will be locked in to where they decide, so it would be useless to add anything but straight predictions.
James Robinson – 4 Star – Wide Receiver
Robinson was an absolute Florida lock until 30 minutes before writing this. With Robinson, it’s more than football. Florida is deep at wide receiver and he would have been a luxury get. Even if it wasn’t, it’s about more than football.
The kid will not be able to sign with Florida because of academic and legal problems. I can possibly go further into his arrest story at a later date, but the situation that played out in front of him is heartbreaking. To see people get excited he won’t be in the Gators class is disgusting.
Prediction: No Idea.
K’Lavon Chaisson – 5 Star – Defensive End
He says Florida is in his final three, but I doubt there’s any true shot. It was a last second visit and it was going to take a trip for the ages and more to land him. Probably just came out for a free trip in the first place. It appears to be down to LSU and Texas for him. I’m leaning Longhorns with this one.
Prediction: Texas
T.J. Slaton – 4 Star – Offensive/Defensive Lineman
A Gators lean for some time now, it appears he will make it official on Wednesday. If he goes anywhere else, it would be a thorough shocker. Not sure exactly which position he will play, but he’s a great body and athlete to get.
Prediction: Florida
Brian Edwards – 3 Star – Defensive Back
Edwards appears to be a Gator. If Edwards isn’t in this class for the Gators, it would be surprising.
Prediction: Florida
Christoper Henderson – 4 Star – Defensive Back
A Florida lean two weeks ago, a Miami lean last week, calling this is a shot in the dark. Henderson has a passion for both schools, but you can only pick one. Miami coaching staff, reporters, and writers feel good about “Hendo” ending up in the class for them, so I’m riding with them.
Prediction: Miami
Levi Jones – 4 Star – OLB
It would be a shocker if Jones wound up at Florida over FSU. The Noles were his last visit and all the predictions swing that way. His interviews and tweets do, as well. That means he won’t go there from what we have seen before right? Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s the case. Jones will likely end up Tally.
Prediction: FSU
LaBryan Ray – 5 Star – Defensive End
This seems to be a case of Saban giving the Gators false hope again, similar to Mack Wilson and Alex Leatherwood. Although I think Ray has a genuine interest, I don’t think he gets away from the grasp of the Crimson Tide. I could be wrong, and I have heard and seen some positive stuff about his recruitment to Florida, but I’m going with a safe pick on this one.
Prediction: Alabama
Gaddy Brothers – Defensive tackles
As just reported yesterday, they will likely not qualify for UF, therefore they will not receive letters of intent. This loss really depends on how you view the brothers. Also, it is necessarily a “strikeout.”
Prediction: Maryland
Tre Brown – 4 Star – Defensive Back
I’ve heard and seen nothing but positives of Brown, an Oklahoma commit flipping to Florida, but it appears Florida joined the race too late. Brown appears to have the genuine interest, but there isn’t enough time between now and signing day for the staff to sell him the image. If he wound up at Florida I wouldn’t be surprised, but I’m going with the safe pick here.
Prediction: Oklahoma
Charleston Rambo – 4 Star – Wide Receiver
The recent James Robinson news will probably affect how hard the staff will push for the Cedar Hill product in the next 48 hours, but I don’t know if it will be enough. He seemed to love the visit and appears to be infatuated with The Swamp, but again like Brown, there’s just not enough time.
Prediction: Oklahoma
Adarius Lemons -3 Star – Running Back
Lemons is a Gator and has been a Gator for the longest. Gators will take him in a heartbeat if he qualifies.
Prediction: Florida, if he qualifies.
Lacedrick Brunson – 2 Star – Linebacker
Brunson is from South Florida and Randy Shannon is recruiting him. He’s only a two-star recruit, but I expect that to change if he’s taken by Florida.
Prediction: Florida
Kids that are absolutely foggy are:
Cam Spence – 4 Star Defensive tackle
Malik Young – 3 Star Defensive tackle
Let’s enjoy the ride, and get ready to support everyone in this class regardless of the outcome.
