Updated 1-27-10 Latest Gator Recruiting Rumors
Wow what a offseason for the Gators ! First Urban quits, then comes back now they are putting together a recruiting class for the ages ! With the addition of Michael Taylor the Gators currently have 25 commits leaving only 3 spots available. With just 3 scholarships available and the Gators being finalists for many touted players who do you want?
Jordan Hicks #1 OLB - Hicks generates striking speed and velocity in the short-area and plays the game with an intense motor. Teams left according ESPN Texas, Ohio State, Florida
TEXAS LANDS HICKS
Seantrel Henderson #1 T - Henderson has the size and athletic ability to eventually play left offensive tackle and be a great college lineman. There is very good growth potential through increased upper and lower body bulk. Good arm length will allow him to stay clean. Ohio St, USC, Florida, Miami, Notre Dame
Still up in the air with Henderson but I expect Miami to make some room this weekend. Allen Trieu predicts Henderson will be a Gator
Christian Jones #2 OLB - In terms of pure size and acceleration, there might not be a more impressive looking outside linebacker than Jones in this class. Prototypical 3-4 outside linebacker with his long frame, good pass-rushing skills and experience playing up on the line of scrimmage. Florida State, Florida
Everybody is predicting Jones to be a FSU Seminole.
Chaz Green #4 T - Green is a prospect with a potentially bright future. Right off the bat he intrigues you with his size as he definitely looks the part. He is a big kid with ideal size and an impressive looking frame. He oozes raw athleticism and displays exciting upside. Florida, USC, Tennessee, Georgia
Pretty much everyone has Green as a Gator although I thought I heard Farrell saying UT was making a push.
Christian Green QB/S - Green is your ideal dual-threat quarterback in the spread offense. We feel he is a better passer than in-state foe Trey Burton, but in all likelihood Green will be moved to either wide receiver or safety with his supreme blend of explosiveness and speed with the ball in his hands. Florida State, Georgia
Mike Farrell of Rivals has Christian Green as a FSU lock. Allen Wallace of scout.com has Florida as his prediction
1-27 From JC Shurbett at ESPN.com Chat
Gut feeling is that Demar Dorsey will stick with UF, but you can't dismiss Florida State or USC. He's been committed to the Gators for so long though. I project Chaz Green to Florida, Christian Green to Florida State and Hicks to Florida or Texas right now.
How do you see the Christian Jones saga playing out?
I still think FSU in the end for Jones, but can't rule Florida out.
Is USC the most captivating school to watch right now considering the coaching change and its national reach?
I think Florida is the most captivating right now
So lets recount the last couple days. Predictions for Florida
Henderson - No clear leader
Christian Jones - FSU everywhere
Jordan Hicks - DECIDED FOR TEXAS
Chaz Green - Florida leader everywhere
Demar Dorsey - Florida no longer recruiting
Please be kind and use good grammar.

Great Post Hook,
I believe we need at least 2 BIG O’linemen in this class even though we had the Rivals #1 ranked O’line last year. I don’t believe you can have too many big uglies on either side of the ball. 2 D-linemen either quit or were kicked off the team this past summer, Torry Davis, and I can’t remember the other one’s name but had we have had their added depth this past season we might have been wearing our third SEC and NC rings in four years. The more big fellas (that can run) the better.
Thanks again Hook, I appreciate any recruiting news especially when it’s good news!! Keep up the good work.
thanks for the credit...lol
but this post isnt mine… haha

No way man, I'm a HUGE TB Rays fan
I dont mind the KC Royals but no way in hell I would put a picture on my avatar with them.
"I will not amuse the tyrants or the susceptible."
would love to bring in henderson
i think hes gonna be a beast for at least 2 years, possibly 3. (before going pro of course)
Buffalo, that's where it's at baby. - Adam 'Pacman' Jones
This is close for me but with Dee Finley moving to LB
I think Florida could use Henderson more. Slot him in as a starter on the opposite side of Nixon and you could have the 2 best Tackles in the SEC.
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
Listened to Rivals Radio and Farrell says Powell
is Solid to Florida and he doesn’t think any of the 5 Stars will decommitt.
I personally think Florida lands Chaz Green. I don’t know about Hicks but I would be surprised if Henderson ended up in Florida. We’ll see !
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
luckily we have been the top recruting team in the SEC since day one and we still are
‘Bama isn’t too far behind though
Looks like we may have lost one
Likely a combo of too many DBs in the class and grades/off-the-field stuff. UF might not have been the best fit for him.
Here’s the largely unsubstantiated story on TN
First Elam now Dorsey
is DB the new WR, drama queens
"When you argue correctly, you're never wrong."-Nick Naylor
Scout.com Predictions (take with a grain of salt)
Allen Trieu predicts the Gators will land Seantrel Henderson
Allen Wallace says Gators will land Christian Green WR
Wallace and Chad Simmons believe the Gators will get Chaz Green OT
Wallace and Bob Lichtenfels predict Adrian Coxson WR to sign as well.
Wallace and Simmons also believe Dorsey will stay a Gator.
All these predictions won’t come true because Florida doesn’t have the space available but it would be nice if the Henderson prediction was correct.
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
I was about to point out the same thing
You’d think these guys would make more plausible predictions, but if we can land Henderson, I would be even more excited about this class.
Allen Wallace says Gators will land Christian Green WR Green is down to Georgia and FSU according to Rivals
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
Down the stretch they come...
Looks like we dropped Dorsey, not the other way round…EITHER way, better off w/out him.
I think we’ll hold onto the bulk of the rest of our projected class. Still hope to see a 5-star WR and OL pick-up at the end, as projected by some. That would put the finishing touch on what appears to be one of our best recruiting jobs in recent memory, especially when you consider the hurdles.
