Maybe I'm confused. Did he commit or is he just taking the free trip/party like Eason did last year?

I'm just adding him to the visit list. You'll have to ask him what his intentions are.

He's a borderline 5* on Rivals.

Good news GA and Bama have more ESPN 300 commits than we have total commits. The talent gap is closing.

According to 247Sports Tedarrell Slaton is 6-4.5 and weighs 340. They rank him a 4 star that is very close to 5 star. A player needs a rating of .98 to be a 5 star and Slaton has a rating of .9642. They rank him the 3rd best OG in the nation and the 65th best overall player in the nation.
He has offers from 23 schools including Bama, Tennessee, LSU, Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss, FSU and Michigan.
The crystal ball has the Gators slightly behind FSU and Michigan. However, the top 247Sports "predictor" Steve Wiltfong (87.73% accuracy) recently predicted that Slaton will sign with the Gators.
Apparently, Slaton has decided he wants to be a DT in college and that is what has given the Gators an advantage.
The addition of Slaton alone would raise the Gators three spots in the current 247Sports recruiting rankings.

There are 36 players committed to SEC schools ranked ahead of our top commit now.
UGA has 18 4/5 star recruits the rest of the SEC east has 20 combined.
Great news for Kirby. I guess some guys can recruit in their first year and some cant.

On December 23rd 247Sports published their predicted final recruiting rankings.
http://247sports.com/Article/247Spo...cts-final-2017-team-recruiting-ranki-49999546
1. ALABAMA
2. OHIO STATE
3. GEORGIA
4. MICHIGAN
5. LSU
6. FLORIDA STATE
7. OKLAHOMA
8. USC
9. TEXAS A&M
10. CLEMSON
11. AUBURN
12. NOTRE DAME
13. WASHINGTON
14. FLORIDA
These are the current committed players in the 2017 Florida recruiting class:
Jake Allen QB
Malik Davis RB
Daquon Green WR
Kemore Gamble TE
Zech Byrd TE
Kadeem Telfort OL
Kyree Campbell DT
Zachary Carter DE
James Houston LB
Ventrell Miller LB
Elijah Blades CB
Marco Wilson CB
Shawn Davis CB
Kadarius Toney ATH
These are the uncommitted players that 247Sports predicted would be in our final recruiting class:
Adarius Lemons RB
James Robinson WR
Tony Gray OL
Tyrone Truesdale DT
Christopher Henderson CB
Brad Stewart CB
Since the predicted rankings were published we received a commitment from:
T.J. Moore OL
These are the players with scheduled January visits that I believe that we have a really good shot at signing:
Kai-Leon Herbert OL Jan 27
Tederrell Slaton OL Jan 27
Devon Hunter S Jan 13
That would give the Gators a recruiting class of 24 players and a final 247Sports recruiting score of 268.07. Last year that score would have been the 12th ranked class. It appears that perhaps this year it would be a top 10 score.

No inside information. Florida has a history of putting DBs in the NFL, Torrian Gray is a well respected position coach that played DB. Gray also coached at VT for a long time. If anyone can get him to back off VT, it should be Gray. Safety is also a position that should offer early playing time.
I would rather we turn Parks or Solomon, but I think Hunter is the one we'll successfully turn.
If we don't get him we will still sign another player, so the net effect on our total score would only be around 8 points.

This is good stuff and thanks for posting it. I hope we do have a few surprises to go with NSD as we good use a boost in the morale dept. I went back to 2015 and 16 and we were ranked by 24-7 at #21 and #12 respectively. From a talent level if we should squeak out a top 10 class combining that we are playing possibly 18-20 FR/SO today tells me we have some experience coming back. That gives me a glimmer of hope. It would be nice to see a 5* are too. BUT...that all depends on how and if this coaching staff gets their act together. That's a whole other thread.

That would be pretty good, but not elite.It's certainly better than a 30th ranked class. If we could get some coaches to move recruiting up a notch to top 5 and then develop the talent and then develop a culture of winning, we will again become elite. Some big ifs.

I don't see us getting Hunter. We have zero presence on 247, which wouldn't mean much, but this is a highly touted recruit, not a noname. So if there was a whisper out there, someone would take a flyer on him and predict UF.
I think we get Stewart and Henderson though. If we keep Blades, that'll make a real nice class at DB. Truesdell is likely a Gator along with another DT, even though we need 4 total.
Steve Wiltfong has a near 90% prediction rate and this is what he's predicting:
Jarez Parks - Bama
Tedarrell Slaton - UF
Aubrey Soloman - Bama
Elijah Conliffe - UT
Jordan Pouncey - Miami
Tray Bishop - UGA
Marvin Wilson - LSU
Chris Henderson - UF
Henry Ruggs - Bama
Labryan Ray - Bama
James Robinson - UF
Tony Gray - UGA
Devon Hunter - VaTech
I'm not sure how Bama is going to have room for all the kids that are projected to end up there. A Bama site said they are looking to sign 27, but they sit at 26 right now. Sounds like they'll have to drop some guys.
We need some momentum quick. It would be nice to see Robinson commit and shut it down. Not sure when Lemons ACT score comes in, but hopefully soon and acceptable. This bowl game will be huge.

Other threads are already talking about this....
Leatherwood is supposed to be an Alabama early enrollee. Bama EE's were required to be on campus today. However, Leatherwood was photographed at the Outback Bowl wearing Gator gear instead of enrolling in classes in Tuscaloosa. Reportedly he was hanging out with the team after the game.
Another forum has a thread started yesterday in which the OP stated there would be a 5 star flip by Wednesday. Wednesday just happens to be the day when Gator EE's are required to be on campus.
It appears there is a chance that Leatherwood has been trolling Bama. This might be the surprise our recruits have been tweeting about.
If we keep all of our current recruits
Jake Allen QB
Malik Davis RB
Daquon Green WR
Kemore Gamble TE
Zech Byrd TE
Kadeem Telfort OL
T.J. Moore OL
Kyree Campbell DT
Zachary Carter DE
James Houston LB
Ventrell Miller LB
Elijah Blades CB
Marco Wilson CB
Shawn Davis CB
Kadarius Toney ATH
and we add
Adarius Lemons RB
James Robinson WR
Tony Gray OL
Tyrone Truesdale DT
Christopher Henderson CB
Brad Stewart CB
Kai-Leon Herbert OL Jan 27
Tederrell Slaton OL Jan 27
Devon Hunter S Jan 13
and I think Hunter is the only real stretch in that group.
Then we get
Alex Leatherwood OL
That class would give us a final 247Sports recruiting score of 284.16. Last year that score would have been good for 5th place.

I forget the article, but Leatherface stated that he basically couldn't tell the Bama coaches no. He was scared of them. This is the only reason why I think the flip would be possible like this. Once he shows up at UF and enrolls...game over. I really don't know why he'd wear UF gear to the game either. Just a kid and not thinking about things, i guess. I hope he flips. There appears to be some smoke here. If he were to flip after this dominant win, huge momentum swing in recruiting.
