Twitter Verse! News & Notes: Gators Busy on the Trail
Jaxon Dollar 2027 Tight End is a fantastic looking TE that Coach Callaway offered. I love the work Russ is doing, and he is going to get the TE room back to being where it needs to be with pass-catching specialists.
Coach Chatman is also staying busy. He and Coach Callaway are two of the most active recruiting coaches for the Gators, and they do a fantastic job. New DL Offer from North Carolina. Nate Kamba 2027 Defensive Tackle
Over a week ago, I removed Johnnie Jones Jr 2026 Offensive Tackle, from our Official Visit list. I do not see a scenario where the Gators go down this path. I wanted to make sure you all saw this.
and my youngest played travel ball with the latest UF offer - I know the kid and dad real well
On3/Rivals News:
There is not much I can say because I don't believe anyone knows what the future will hold. A few things that have publicly been said so far.
Yahoo Sports is taking an ownership stake in the On3 parent company.
Sounds like the deal will close by the end of the second quarter, prior to the start of CFB.
Rivals will be the home for Recruiting and High School Sports, while On3 will focus exclusively on College Sports. It sounds like fan sites will live in between. Other than that there is nothing I can tell you because right now we are waiting for more specific details in the coming day.

She's recorded seven doubles, two triples, two home runs, and driven in a single-season career-best 31 runs with 24 walks.
The senior outfielder from Odessa, Fla., holds a .523 on-base percentage, and has just eight strikeouts in 171 at bats this season.
