Florida still in running for several top name recruits
Although the Gators have 21 oral commitments heading into today's signing day, several big-name players are set to make announcements today, with Florida still in the mix.
Among those is Ramon Buchanan, the 5-star Melbourne Palm Bay athlete who committed to Miami, then decommitted and gave his word to the Gators. But Buchanan took a visit to Miami this past weekend and is now torn. He will choose between the Gators and Miami today at 1 p.m.
Here is a list of other top names to watch:
Lakeland Kathleen WR T.J. Lawrence is still considering UF, South Carolina, Virginia Tech and Michigan. He'll announce at 12:30 p.m.
WR Julio Jones of Foley, Ala.. The nation's No. 1 receiver will choose between UF, Alabama, Florida State and Oklahoma at 12:30 p.m.
CB T.J. Bryant of Tallahassee Lincoln is considering UF, Alabama, LSU and Southern Cal.
Miami Booker T. Washington CB Brandon Harris is considering Florida, Miami and Ohio State.
RB Milton Knox of Lake Balboa (Calif) Birmingham is still considering UCLA, Notre Dame and Florida and will announce at 7 p.m.

Um, I don't think all of those guys are 5 stars. Actually I think Jones is the only 5 star out of all thos guys and we are not getting him.
