Hot prospects
With national signing day Feb. 4, there is little time for coaches to celebrate the national championship. The Gators have just a few scholarships to give, coach Urban Meyer said, and nearly a dozen recruits were expected on campus this weekend. Scheduled to be among them: Plant tight end Orson Charles and Sanford Seminole receiver Andre Debose, though he has orally committed. Debose attended a basketball game in Gainesville last weekend, and fans chanted his name. DeLand running back Mike Gillislee, an important get who is a soft oral commitment, also was to be in town. Others expected included linebacker Jarvis Jones of Columbus, Ga.; cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick of Gadsden, Ala., and cornerback Greg Reid of Valdosta, Ga. Among other potential visitors are running back Trent Richardson of Pensacola Escambia, defensive tackle Luther Robinson of Fort Pierce, safety Jawanza Starling of Tallahassee Lincoln and linebacker Frankie Telfort of Miami Gulliver Prep.
