Chris Walker Commits to Florida, Gators Top ESPN Class Rankings

Chris Walker, ESPN’s No. 7 senior in the Class of 2013, committed to Florida early Sunday morning, elevating the Gators’ recruiting class to the No. 1 ranking in the nation.

Walker’s commitment to Florida is unique. By picking the Gators over Louisville and Kansas — this had been trending Florida’s way all month — Walker pledged to resume a playing relationship with Kasey Hill (Eustis, Fla./Montverde), his travel teammate on Florida Elite.

Gators get their quarterback

After missing missing out on several quarterbacks, the Florida Gators finally landed one on Monday. Four-star prospect Max Staver (Brentwood, Tenn./Brentwood) camped at Florida last Saturday, and after patiently waiting more than a week, was offered a scholarship on Monday. Staver quickly jumped on it and committed to head coach Will Muschamp.
“They have been in contact with me for a while now,” Staver said. “They kept telling me be patient. I actually called coach [Brent] Pease. He said I have coach Muschamp right next to me. Muschamp said, ‘Are you ready to be a Gator?’ I said, ‘Yes sir.’ I told him, ‘I’m the guy, I’m going to lead the program. I’m ready to get it rolling. I’m ready to serve the school, the football team and the community. It’s a blessing.’ “

2012 Recruiting Class Florida Gators

A year ago National Signing Day came and went in a blur for Muschamp, who had about a month after he took over the program to finalize his first Florida recruiting class. The process went much smoother the second time around.

As Muschamp reviewed a sheet of paper listing the 17 players the Gators signed on Wednesday and the six early enrollees that count toward the 2011 class, he sounded confident that the Gators took a big step toward being more competitive in the SEC than a year ago.

Bama paper already knows the outcome of the game

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - Will Muschamp is a lucky man.

Not many head coaches get a shot at a signature victory in the fifth start of their first season.

Not many proteges get a chance to take down their mentors when their mentors are on top of the world.

Muschamp can slay both of those dragons with one stone Saturday night.
