More News From Friday

LB Graham Stewart has switched his commitment from Boston College to Florida.  The gators class needs more commitments to round out the class and this is a good start.  It appears that DT Tim Jernigan did not visit Gainesville unofficially this week and his coach had said, and instead headed to Tennessee for an official visit during the weekend.  This is not good news at all for Florida, but I do not think it hurts them as much as many think.  Jernigan lives close to Gainesville and has visited countless times, so I think one more visit would not have changed anything.  I expect him to choose between Florida and FSU on National Signing Day, but LSU and Tennessee are still a strong possibility.  DB Marcus Robinson from the St. Thomas Aquinas has officially de-committed from Texas Tech after his visit to Gainesville.  Robinson either likes what he saw from UF (which he did as he rated visit a perfect 10) or has decided to play for Auburn.  I see this as a two team battle: Auburn vs Florida with Auburn having a slight edge at the moment.  Additionally, I think the gators get OL Jake Fisher, a de-commit from Michigan, who recently visited Florida and loved it.  I think the gators new staff has done a great job although many fans are not thrilled with the current class.  Muschamp and Co., have had to secure previous commitments from Meyer and try and make new relationships with recruits in only a matter of a month.  Compared with the deterioration of Miami's class, Florida has done a supurb job.

Miami (FL) will have QB Jacoby Brissett from Dwyer HS visit this weekend.  He is a huge priority for Canes.  They have no reliable quarterback and although Al Golden and Co. have done a nice job salvaging their recruiting class, Brissett would give the Canes a stable pro-style quarterback who can also run.  Brissett finished the high school season with 2,473 yards passing, 32 touchdowns and only one interception.  He is down to Wisconsin, Washington, Miami, and Florida with Wisconsin as the leader.

Another top prospect that committed last night is RB Savon Huggins, who is heading to Rutgers for college.  This is a huge get for Rutgers and he could turn out to be the next Ray Rice.

The only top uncommitted player from the State of Texas is DE Brandon Alexander.  His top schools are Texas, Texas A&M, and TCU, and he is visiting Arkansas this weekend.  I think he ends up at Texas.
