National Signing Day is finally here, and Florida is waiting on several scheduled announcements from high-profile high school players.
Below are the nine recruits with Florida in the race as of this morning (well, eight Florida targets and Chris Lammons), the times they will announce, and predictions for all of them from SB Nation recruiting editor Bud Elliott and from me. (For more on my predictions, check out my post explaining them.)
Nota bene on times: Many will change. Many will be late. Consider them approximate. The best idea is to stay tuned to @AlligatorArmy for updates on targets as their announcement times near. The times listed here are based in part on reporting by MaxPreps, Scout, 247Sports, ESPN, and Gator Country. ESPNU lists its times as being "within the hour," while MaxPreps lists specific times for the players announcing on ESPNU.
