The Florida Gators will host their biggest recruiting weekend of the year starting on Thursday in Gainesville. On Thursday the Gators will host an underclassmen camp and that will be followed on Friday-by-Friday Night Lights in the Swamp.

While these camps are going, the Gators will also host a quarterback camp where several big quarterback coaches from around the country will attend to host the camp.

Big quarterback visiting

Matt Corral (6-2, 196, Long Beach, CA. Poly) will be making his first trip to Gainesville this weekend when he takes a three day visit to Florida. Corral has said he wants to make a decision before the season starts and his top schools are Florida and Georgia. This visit this weekend is a big one for the Gators.

Florida will have most of its commits on campus this weekend for the big recruiting event. That includes both 2018 commits and 2019 guys who’re currently committed to the Gators.

Running back Iverson Clement, athlete Amari Burney, defensive back Divaad Wilson and offensive lineman C.J. Dunlap are all scheduled to visit as 2018 commits.

Representing the 2019 class this weekend will be safety Jaleel McRae, receiver John Dunmore, receiver Maurice Goolsby, defensive tackle Jaquaze Sorrells, athlete Tyrique Stevenson, offensive lineman Andrew Coker, athlete Marcus Tillman and defensive back Trent Whittemore.

2018 targets visiting

This is a huge weekend for the Gators in regards to gaining momentum in the 2018 class and they have a lot of prospects in town to recruiting.

Running back Dameon Pierce and West Virginia running back commit Leddie Brown are both scheduled to visit Florida. The Gators are looking for a second back to add with Clement in the class. Right now Pierce looks to be a battle between Florida and Georgia. Brown on the other hand is keeping his options open despite his commitment and that is in large part due to his relationship with JaJuan Seider.

led by Jacob Copeland who has been a huge priority for Florida. Florida is battling Alabama for Copeland heading into this visit this weekend.

Receiver Jamarr Chase was expected to make a decision out at the Opening but didn’t make that decision and now plans to visit Florida. Chase looked to be heading to either TCU or LSU but the Gators are trying to flip the script this weekend.

Receiver Tyquan Thornton named a top five on Tuesday with the Gators in that group and he will now visit on Friday. Florida and Miami are battling
for Thornton at this time.

Tight end Dante Lang has become a big target for Florida at the tight end position and he’s scheduled to be in attendance. Florida is in solid shape for Lang heading into this visit.

Apopka offensive line teammates William Barnes and Ed Montilus are both scheduled to visit Florida on Friday night and the Gators are in the lead group for both. It’s a Florida/North Carolina for Barnes at this time but the Gators are hoping to gain more momentum with this weekend’s visit.

The defensive side is also scheduled to have several big targets on campus this weekend and that is led by defensive lineman Azeez Ojulari who plans to be on campus on Saturday. Joining Ojulari as defensive line visitors is defensive tackle Coynis Miller who plans to be on campus for multiple days. Florida State defensive end commit Pat Joyner is also scheduled to visit on Saturday.

One of the Gators biggest linebacker targets is Channing Tindall who will be on campus with his family on Friday night.

Big defensive back target Randy Russell decomitted from Miami and is leaning towards Florida heading into the visit. Russell is a really solid nickel prospect

Underclassmen visiting

This weekend is turning into potentially something special. Might even be the most important few days of Macs career if he can start reeling some of these guys in.
Managing to get two of the top QB recruits in the nation to shun Bama and come to you, hopefully means something.
If Fields really does show up, then maybe we really aren't out of the running for him.
Buzz is really picking up heading into FNL. Almost feels like the old days...almost :lol:

Yep...if both those guys show up it'll be big! Hopefully one of them jumps on board.
Doubt that happens, but maybe both of them being there, makes one of them want to go ahead and get it done.

Fck it, let's get both and send most of the rest of our QBs packin :lol2:

I will say this: this is the first time I've been anxiously awaiting FNL since Urban was here. Word is we've got at least 3 committing (which I think includes Pitts today).

I think Fields is coming for FNL and will be pretty consistent with this staff wanting to keep info on Fields visiting very quiet.

This is what happens once you get a OL coach the kids like and who isn't washed up/asleep at the wheel. Davis is going to have us stocked up with talent real soon!
Now if mac would finally pull his head out of his own azz and can nuss and nord maybe we'd really be onto something. As it is, we're still fighting an uphill battle during the season because of the atrocious offense and ST coaching and saturday performances.

This would be step 2 to me regaining confidence in mac :grin:
