National Signing Day is still two more days away, but the Gator Nation doesn't have to wait until then for things to become interesting. On Monday three of Florida's biggest remaining targets will make their college decisions.
If all goes according to plan, this could be a monstrous day that gets the ball rolling for Florida heading into Wednesday.
In order to bring you up to speed, Inside the Gators' Fearless Forecast predicts where these three targets will commit.
THE FEARLESS FORECAST
THREE-STAR DEFENSIVE END G.G. ROBINSON

When: Monday February 2nd
Blake's Take: Robinson has been committed to Louisville since August and has been very firm in his pledge to the Cardinals until his visit to Florida this past weekend. The 6-foot-4, 270-pounder enjoyed his visit so much that he has to make a "final decision" between the Cardinals and Florida. The Gators like the three-star big man along the defensive line and also would like to get him in the mix on offense as well as a tight end. Though it seems like a close race, and Robinson talked up the Gators fresh off the visit, we are told it will be very hard to flip him from Louisville due to his relationship with the coaches there. The one thing in the Gators favor is the fact that Robinson and fellow Georgia native Chris Williamson have interest in teaming up together, and with Williamson looking like he will pick the Gators, perhaps that could give Florida some pull here.
Chances: Florida 50% / Louisville 50%
Note: There isn't a set decision for Robinson to make his decision at this time, but he plans to announce over twitter sometime this evening after talking with his parents for the last 24 hours.
FOUR-STAR RUNNING BACK JORDAN SCARLETT
"BORDER-BOTTOM: #ddd 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #ddd 1px solid; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff; PADDING-LEFT: 4px; PADDING-RIGHT: 4px; FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; BORDER-TOP: #ddd 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #ddd 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 4px">
When: Monday February 2nd
Chances: 75% Florida / 20% Florida State / 5% Miami
Blake's Take: Scarlett is fresh off of decommiting from the Miami Hurricanes, as well as official visits to the big three in Florida over the past three weeks. Heading into his visit to the Gators, we are told the Hurricanes felt the Gators were their biggest threat. However, when Scarlett backed off his commitment while on his visit to Tallahassee, that raised some eyebrows as well. The confidence level in Gainesville is high at this time and what looked like a toss-up as late as late last week is now trending in Florida's favor. At this point it would be more of a surprise to see him recommit to Miami than it would be for him to flip. They actually seem to be out of it.
Note: Scarlett will announce his decision at 7 PM on Fox Sports Florida
FOUR-STAR ATHLETE CHRIS WILLIAMSON
"BORDER-BOTTOM: #ddd 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #ddd 1px solid; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff; PADDING-LEFT: 4px; PADDING-RIGHT: 4px; FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; BORDER-TOP: #ddd 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #ddd 1px solid; PADDING-TOP: 4px">
When: Monday February 2nd
Chances: Florida 70% / North Carolina 20% / Michigan 10%
Blake's Take: Williamson is a guy that really blew up late in the process, picking up impressive offer after impressive offer. Out of the schools that came in late, Florida was actually at the front of that line and did a good job of locking him in to an official visit before the bulk of the offers came flowing in. Plus, the way it was set up, it was the Gators who hosted Williamson on campus this past weekend, for his final visit before he makes his announcement this evening. Confidence is Gainesville is pretty high heading into the decision. California, Florida, North Carolina and Michigan are the finalists here, but Florida was trending up even before he set foot on campus.
Note: Williamson will make his decision known at 10 PM on Fox Sports South
