Looks like Miami and FSU are battling for him. Bama is in the mix too. What are our chances?

He really likes UF. He hasn't been thrilled with our offense. But I think he came to two or more games this year.

UF staff sees priority prospects
The Gators have visited some of their top targets this week, including one recruit who’s about to announce his decision.

Florida coach Jim McElwain, defensive coordinator Randy Shannon and secondary coach Torrian Gray conducted an in-home visit Wednesday night with 4-star safety Devon Hunter (Chesapeake, Va.).

Hunter officially visited UF last weekend and will decide between the Gators and Virginia Tech on Friday. The in-state Hokies are the favorite to land the U.S. Army All-American.

Shannon also met with 4-star offensive tackle Kai-Leon Herbert (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) on Wednesday. The Michigan pledge is scheduled to visit Florida on Jan. 27.

A trio of Maryland defensive tackle commits — Cam Spence and twin brothers Brandon and Breyon Gaddy — received visits from UF coaches Wednesday as well as 4-star DT Elijah Conliffe, who will take a trip to Florida this weekend.

McElwain, Gray and running backs Tim Skipper conducted an in-home visit Thursday with 4-star cornerback Brad Stewart (New Orleans). He’s visiting Arkansas this weekend and UF on Jan. 27.

Gray and Skipper also saw 4-star cornerback Elijah Blades (Pasadena, Calif.). Nebraska will host the Gators commit on an official visit this weekend.

Offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier and wide receivers coach Kerry Dixon II spent Thursday visiting top WR target James Robinson (Lakeland, Fla.) and Florida WR pledge Daquon Green (Tampa, Fla.).

Gators also focusing on underclassmen
Not all of Florida’s recruiting efforts have been geared toward the Class of 2017.

McElwain and director of player personnel Drew Hughes spent the early part of Thursday visiting several underclassmen in the Sunshine State.

They visited 2018 5-star running back Lorenzo Lingard (Orange City, Fla.), 2018 defensive end Stacy Kirby (Orlando, Fla.), 2019 Gators defensive back commit Jaleel McRae (New Smyrna Beach, Fla.) and 2020 athlete Avantae Williams (Deland, Fla.).

McElwain and Hughes also stopped by Cocoa High School.

not good enough like Mcgriff or not good enough like he will sign with a rival and we have to play him every year.

Well if it is not good enough for UF, that is the way it is. Players who were not allowed to visit UF have been signing with other schools including SEC schools for years. It was amusing when Meyer took the job not understanding this.

Anyone think we actually have a shot with Hunter without his parents visiting?
