Florida signed the near consensus #1 class in the nation and closed out signing day in royal fashion locking down Deonte Thompson, the highly sought WR from Belle Glade. All day it appeared Thompson was heading to Miami. Carlos Dunlap and Cameron Newton highlight the star studded class which is probably the deepest in Gator history.
Miami was able to steal Allen Bailey a top DE from Georgia away from the Gators a few days ago, but lost out on Thompson and his teammate WR Taurus McKinley who had committed to Miami long ago but signed with West Virginia. Not all was lost for the Canes though as the signing of Demarcus VanDyke and Damien Berry highlight a solid class that directly addressed the Canes needs. I have seen UM's class ranked anywhere from # 11 to # 15 in the nation, and it was the consensus #1 class in the ACC. (Keep in mind Miami's two best signings, Kayne Farqueson and Graig Cooper are not figured in some ratings since they already enrolled in school this January.)
Florida State closed strong today but lost Marvin Austin the highly touted Defensive Lineman at the last minute to Butch Davis' North Carolina team. With the signing of Austin, UNC jumped Ga Tech, Clemson and FSU in Rivals final recruiting rankings finishing 2nd, only behind Miami in the ACC. Regardless of what you think of Butch Davis as a coach and a human being he sure can recruit! FSU's class has been ranked anywhere between #18 and #24 by various recruiting services.

It is good to see that this site is updated so often. No mention of a Gator victory over UK or an upcomming game vs. Alabama.
Hey anonymous, its a big big pro FSU and pro Miami site.
Regardless of what the other bloggers say, if you want pro UF sports, you are better off going elsewhere.
It seems that UF takes a back seat here to bullshit baseball and UM's hoopless dreams.
