GATORS REAPED THE REWARDS LAST YEAR
With players more inclined to attend one day camps nowadays, last year this camp was loaded with future Gators.
Players such as Tim Tebow and Jarred Fayson became good friends while attending this particular camps.
Others such as Jamar Hornsby and Justin Williams also met and for a while were in constant phone contact.
Corey Hobbs, Marcus Gilbert, Jermaine Cunningham (junior day only) and A.J. Jones also showed up for the weekend.
They all ended up signing with the Gators in the end.
RIVALS100 WELL REPRESENTED
If they all show up as expected, there will be at least eleven and perhaps up to fourteen members of the Rivals100 in the Swamp on Friday night.
Headlining the list are a pair of in-state five-star prospects. Receiver Deonte Thompson and defensive end Torrey Davis were both at the last Junior Day held by the Gators as well.
Others from the Sunshine State are quarterback Stephen Garcia. The dual-threat signal caller is making his fourth or fifth visit to Florida in the last four months. He told InsidetheGators.net that he will hang out, but not participate since he is leaving for the Elite 11 on Saturday.
