Alabama and Florida are certainly fighting for second place, at least right now, behind Texas for the mythical recruiting title.

Great pick-up for the Gators. I hate to lose him, especially since Patton is from Mobile (my hometown and recruiting hotbed for 'Bama). Hopefully this pushed Corey Grant to Alabama. His services were widely specualted to be between Alabama and Florida as well. I guess we'll find out soon. Being from Opelika, I'm not going to downplay the pull of playing close to home, and picking the Barn.

I'd say it's easily a fight for 3rd at this point with Alabama and whomever else. Florida is way, way out in front and right up there fighting Texas (just have a less recruits right now)

Short of (the state of) Alabama getting a magical 3 5-star recruits for the 3rd straight year Bama likely isn't in the conversation for the Top Two spots this year.

I think Florida might have a better shot at #1 than Texas especially if Texas whiffs on the top Texas kids once again like Seastrunk, White, Jeffcoat and Nelson. They may only sign 1 5-star kid (Wilson, who should be a 5-star if he stays about where he is right now). Florida already has a 5-star locked up and are looking good for a couple other very high caliber kids. I think it's likely to end up 1. Florida, 2. Texas.
