He’s only a junior, but Union County’s Lonnie Gosha could be one of the top defenders in the state of Florida next year.

Why not recruit the Magnolia State?
Just call Mississippi “no man’s land” for Florida. The Gators haven’t signed anyone out of the state since the Ron Zook era — and those guys played at community colleges.
What’s so wrong with my home state? Is the talent not there? Well, that can’t be it because a chunk of Mississippi-born folks are playing in the NFL and that’s been the case for a while. Is Florida’s staff concerned about travel expenses? Heck no! These guys fly out to California, … Read More »

Ask Aschoff 10/22
I usually begin each edition of “Ask Aschoff” with a shout out to my readers and the great questions you ask (almost) every week. Things will be different this week.
I figured I’d give myself a pat on the back. You’re only allowed so many in life. If you’ve checked out SI.com’s Stewart Mandel’s mailbag, which is probably the best around, you’ll notice that the killer Wii skills I mention in my bio have become national news. Well, sort of. I … Read More »

The latest recruiting rankings
The new Rivals.com team recruiting rankings came out Monday and yet again Florida fell in the rankings. After having one of the top classes in the country a few months ago, Florida fell to No. 5 and is now sitting behind dreaded TENNESSEE at No. 7. Looks like Lane Kiffin is getting the best of the Gators after all.
According to Rivals, of the 17 Gator commits thus far, one is a five-star (Matt Elam), 11 are four-stars and five are … Read More »

WR commit happy with UF offense
Fans might be stressing over Florida’s conservative offense, but wide receiver commit Solomon Patton said he’s fine with what he’s seen so far. And he’s a receiver for crying out loud.
“I still like the stuff they’re doing now,” Patton said. “They’re still getting the fast people the ball. I know when we get down there and they get some more receivers, they’ll start spreading the ball around like they used to.”
The Mobile, Ala., Murphy receiver said he’s heard what everyone … Read More »

Ask Aschoff 10/15
I wanted to get a good amount of questions for the mailbag so I took a few from last week and this week. Not much else to say, so on to the questions!
Is there any indication which of the 2010 commits are enrolling early?
— Phillip
These things can change because of grades, but Florida could have another long list of early enrollees this year. Remember, this isn’t official, but these are the commits who are either trying to or are most … Read More »

Meyer, recruits take cell phone hijacking in stride
LSU fans were trying their darnedest to frustrate Urban Meyer by getting a hold of his cell phone number. It obviously worked because Florida’s coach had to change his number. Friends, family and certain people in the media all had to be notified of the change. I’m actually still waiting for my e-mail.
But most importantly, recruits had to know how to get a hold of Meyer. Of course, one of the best in the recruiting game didn’t let his cell … Read More »

Elam sticking with Gators
OK Gator fans, some of you have gotten your wish.
After my blog was bombarded with Matt Elam comments, he’s finally putting to rest his recruiting. Florida’s top commit in the 2010 class is staying put with his pledge, so those who jumped off his train, help yourselves back up. For those who never left, you’ve got your man.
Sorry, West Virginia. He might have said he would sign with you a few weeks ago, but he’s staying down south.
Forget it Tennessee. … Read More »

Elam now ‘very high’ on Tennessee
If the confusing cases of Lynden Trail and Quinton Dunbar weren’t enough, committed safety Matt Elam also gave Florida’s staff something to think about. He decided to take an official visit to Tennessee over the weekend. He originally went just to check it out, but left with some unsettling things for Florida’s staff to read.
Here’s what he told Rivals about what he thinks of UT after seeing them up close and personal.
“They are very high in my decision,” Elam said. … Read More »

The Lynden Trail/Quinton Dunbar drama
I know you’re all wondering what exactly happened with Miami, Booker T. Washington teammates Lynden Trail and Quinton Dunbar. You know, I’m still trying to figure it all out myself.
Things all started Friday following Booker T.’s 35-28 upset of Miami, Northwestern. Shortly after the game, Trail, who Rivals.com rates as the 10th-best defensive end, and Dunbar, the No. 21 wide receiver, ran to the center of the field at Traz Powell Stadium and donned Gator gear. They then informed multiple … Read More »

About This Blog »
Edward Aschoff grew up in beautiful Oxford, Miss., but spurned Ole Miss in 2004 to spend his college years at the University of Florida studying journalism. During his 4 1/2 years buried away in Weimer Hall, he wrote for a few publications and Web sites. The Sun gave him a chance in July of 2007 and he’s been pumping out stories mostly about UF sports ever since. You can catch Edward either at some sort of Gator sporting event, in the gym or any court/field involving a ball and competition. He grew up playing and watching soccer, but now prefers college football and challenges anyone to a game of NCAA football on Playstation 3. He was named Media Wii Tennis Champion after dominating everyone — most notably Sports Illustrated’s Stewart Mandel — during his coverage of the 2008 national championship in Miami.
