Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I’m truly thankful for all your questions this week.

Huge recruiting weekend

by Edward Aschoff

This is it folks. The weekend you’ve all been waiting for. Forget the new Nike jerseys. Forget Tim Tebow’s and Brandon Spikes’ farewell. That’s all boring compared to the amount of talent that will be in the south end zone stands Saturday afternoon for Florida’s annual game with rival Florida State. With it being Thanksgiving week, I decided to get a list up early for you guys. I’ve been working the phones and asking the recruiting bigwigs of the world for … Read More »

Ask Aschoff 11/20

by Edward Aschoff

Hey guys. Sorry for the delay. There were some technical difficulties with the questions this week, but I’ve got some good ones and I hope the answers are equally as good. With no further delay … on to the questions! What are our chances of landing more package deals with either the Greens from Tampa or the trio from Ft. Lauderdale (Joyner, Cody Riggs, and Linder), or both. Do any of these prospects want to play together in college? And if … Read More »

The importance of getting Shaw’s verbal

by Edward Aschoff

Florida needs Joshua Shaw’s commitment Tuesday. The Palmdale, Calif., cornerback is a must for the the Gators. In less than 24 hours, one of the top defensive prospects in the country will hold a live press conference to announce his college decision. He’s doing it in style and doing it earlier than people thought. He’s also doing it a little more than a week after taking an unofficial visit to Gainesville and staying late with his parents to talk with … Read More »

Key visitors for UF-USC in Columbia

by Edward Aschoff

Figured I’d give you a glimpse of some kids Florida is interested in who will be in Columbia for the game Saturday. Of course the big name that will be officially visiting is Manning, S.C. cornerback John Fulton, who is fresh off an official to Florida for the Vanderbilt game. He spent a lot of time with linebacker Brandon Spikes before and after the game. He was also talking with Urban Meyer for a good bit of time before the game. … Read More »

This is the point in the season when recruiting will really be buzzing. Early enrollees will be making decisions or taking very, very important official visits. Rivalry games are coming up, which means the big-time visits will be amazing for prospects. Get ready for an exciting time in recruiting.

Shaw close to choosing Gators?

by Edward Aschoff

If you guys haven’t read the recruiting message board, I posted Sunday night that Palmdale, Calif., cornerback Joshua Shaw and his parents were outside The Swamp talking with coach Urban Meyer, defensive backs coach Vance Bedford, safeties coach Chuck Heater and tight ends coach Dan White. There could have been a couple of other coaches out there, but I was trying to get those oh-so-important Sunday night interviews. The Gators got some good news last week when Shaw decided to … Read More »

Even with Venice quarterback Trey Burton locked up in the 2010 class, Urban Meyer has got to start looking around at trying to sign another arm.

High school seasons all across the country are winding down, which means recruiting will begin to pick up again. Early enrollees will have to start making up their minds and official visits will be heating up. Rivalry games. Early Christmas gifts for teams. This time of year sure does get exciting.

Gators got first-hand look at Orson Charles

by Edward Aschoff

Oh, what could have been. As I watched from the Jacksonville Municipal press box Saturday, I couldn’t help but be impressed with one guy in red and black. Most Gator fans have to have been thinking the same thing when they saw Georgia tight end Orson Charles line up opposite the Gators’ defense: Why isn’t this guy wearing different colors? I mean, he did knock over Florida’s 2006 national championship trophy last year. He did say Florida was one of his … Read More »
