Florida has 4 star Jaydon Hill and 3 star Chester Kimbrough currently committed, and Georgia has 4 star JUCO DJ Daniel currently committed.

Florida seems to be looking good for 4/5 star Chris Steele and Georgia seems to be looking good for 4/5 star Tyrique Stephenson.

Both are after Kaiir Elam and both sides still feel good. I know he’s coming off his UGA OV and y’all knocked it out of the park by all accounts, but he didn’t name a leader. He is taking his OV to UF in December. How many CB’s are y’all trying to sign? Do y’all have a spot for both Tyrique and Kaiir, or any other targets at CB trending towards you?

Should be an interesting battle to watch come next month

It sounds like we'll take all of the following if we can:
Cine
Daniel
Elam
Stevenson

No one is really certain on numbers though...

Yep. That was the name I couldn't think of. I was counting five spots in my head but couldn't get the last name to come to mind.

Yep, I mean they are losing Baker and converted a 4 star WR to corner.

I expect them to take minimum 3-4.

That would be a stupid good class. I’ve felt good about Elam to UF, but Florida has some pressure to really hit on the visit now that UGA has rolled out the red carpet for him. It bodes well for Florida that he’s already used his Georgia OV.

Elam’s visit to UGA this past weekend was an unofficial according to the UGA and UF 247 sites. He’s not taking officials until after the season.

Elam's going to be a good one wherever he goes. I really like him a lot. If we are able to pull him and Stevenson to go with Campbell we will be in great shape.

I would think Florida has the edge since he had family that played for Florida, but hopefully it won't make a difference and we can pull him.

ETA
Wait...isn't he related to Matt Elam? Seems I heard that, but I am having a hard time finding anything on that.

He’s Matt Elam’s cousin or nephew. Not sure which.

I was thinking there was a relationship there somewhere, but couldn't remember what it was exactly. Thanks!

Georgia has led for Elam behind the scenes for a while.

As soon as Andrew Booth committed to Clemson, he became a priority target.

UF has a LOT of catching up to do for him, and this was true before his recent visit as well.

I knew this is what I had heard, but I also knew Florida was confident about him. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Link?

He has draws to 3 major schools - OSU because of Meyer, UGA because of his close relationship with Tyrique, and UF because he's a legacy.

Haven't heard anyone involved on the UF side say that anyone leads, because he and the family are being very deliberate and the staff feels confident because of that.

I find it hard to believe he leaves the state in the end. He's not the typical Florida transplant recruit.

Nephew. I haven’t seen anybody as confident about Elam to Georgia as Georgia message boarders

It’ll be interesting. Florida is making him a priority too, obviously. Exceeding expectations on the field and the opportunity to be a multi year starter, in a thin DB unit, and to learn from two of the best in the game in Chris Henderson and Marco Wilson is a good draw. Plus his uncle being a legacy guy. It’ll be interesting.

Just stuff from some "insiders", which always has to be taken for what it is. I mean, basically at this point that is all any of us are going by, right?

I don't think they are doing anything but telling you what insiders have been feeding them for months.

I have read the same that we are def in it for Elam, but these are 18 year old kids so no one will know until the ink dries.

But in this case, none of these posters are being homers, they are just stating what the 247 and other insiders have stated.

I would feel better about UF's chances if Elam had visited UF since the UK game. Not sure if he even has a UF OV scheduled.

All UGA IMO.

Things could change if he OVs and Steele comes in.
