My guess at UF's current board based on discussions here and the other thread an reported January visits:

QB:
RB:
WR: Pickens, Richards
OL: Henry
DL: Fuller, Moore, Pickering, Vilbert, Young
LB:
DB: Cross, Elam, Jay

Any additions or subtractions?

After the Henderson debacle, Deion forced the FSU commits on stage for some positive publicity for Willie and the gang, and when asked if they were signed or verbaled to the SOW, all 3 just sat there in awkward silence

Who are the 3? One is Cross right? It will be funny if FSU does not get all of them and hilarious if they miss on all 3.

Shouldn’t Rivals be revising their lists soon?

I think the scouts are influenced by who was recruiting and if they see Ugly and Bammer fighting over a kid who is borderline, voila, five star.

Amen. Recruiting rankings are almost entirely rooted & influenced by who is recruiting a kid, what camps they attend, etc. How do UA & Nike know who to invite to camps, anyway? Coaches network and get interested

I can’t imagine anyone putting much stock in what Spivey, Goldkamp, the Bowl think about a prospect. They aren’t scouts. The coaches are. The recruiting reporters are going off what they hear not what they observe.

And the consensus that builds about prospects is in most cases going to be more accurate than a single coach’s evaluation. Coaches will identify gems (Brandon James) that others miss, but it’s rare.

They have networks of semi legit scouts viewing kids and (mostly) watching film. It's not Spivey and Bowl and journalist types who know special little about football. Believe it or not, several smaller schools rely on these services.

They are however influenced by the elite coaches. There were rumors that CUM lobbied Scouts and Rivals to try to get his players extra stars. That explains a lot about Deonte Thompson, Andre Debose, and others.

They are also influenced by the "ingredients" if you will of what makes an 5 star or elite 4 star kid. Bammer has certain heights, weights, certain skills and tasks they want to see in game film and during workouts that tell them they want this kid versus another. The scouting agencies have been influend by that too, even though different kinds of kids might very well function better in another coach's style.

I guarantee you they do not watch film on every kid. They only watch film on some of the higher rated kids that they scout at camps. Even then they just watch highlights. Coaches watch the highlight film and then they order the full length film of all the games. Sometimes you can learn more from the non-highlight plays than you do from the highlights.
