With the Florida Gators taking the field for their final regular season game this Saturday against rival Florida State, it goes without saying that there will be many top recruiting targets on hand as well.
Inside the Gators takes a closer look at who is expected to be in attendance for this big recruiting weekend.
The Gatos will have many of their commitments on hand for the big in-state match up Saturday evening. The 2016 members of Florida's recruiting class expected are running back LaMical Perine, defensive back Chauncey Gardner, defensive back Jeawon Taylor, linebacker Vosean Joseph, defensive end Antonneous Clayton, athlete McArthur Burnett, wide receiver Rick Wells, wide receiver Josh Hammond, wide receiver Freddie Swain, defensive back Jayvaughn Myers, defensive end Jachai Polite, defensive back Aaron Robinson, and wide receiver Isaiah Johnson.
From the 2017 class the Gators expect three pledges - quarterback Jake Allen, wide receiver DaQuon Green, and offensive tackle Kadeem Telfort.
As far as targets on hand the Gators will have a ton packing the South endzone bleachers. Making yet another trip to see the Gators this season is five-star wide receiver Nate Craig-Myers. The one time Auburn commitment has seemed to become more of an FSU-UF battle as of late, and he will be on hand to watch the Gators and the Noles clash. Another five-star expected in is defensive end Shavar Manuel. This is the Rivals100 defender's second trip of the fall to see the Gators in action. So far this fall he's taken only one official visit, which was to LSU in October. Many feel the Gators are in the driver's seat there.
Making his third straight UF home game visits this weekend is Rivals100 quarterback Feleipe Franks. The recent LSU decommitment has been high on the Gators and the Seminoles as well. He plans to officially visit both before enrolling early the school of his choice. For now the Gators seem to be in the best place to add the four-star signal caller.
A Florida State commitment expected in for a visit is defensive end Janarius Robinson. This is the four-star's second visit of the fall to UF. Despite his pledge to FSU, Robinson has kept lines of communication open with schools such as Alabama and Florida. He's already used official visits to FSU and Alabama this fall, with an official to UF likely sometime in December.
The American Heritage duo of defensive end Brian Burns and tight end Nick Eubanks are also expected in for the big game. This is the first visit of the fall for the duo. Neither prospect has named an outright leader, but the Gators are in a good place to make a run at both. The Gators are expected to land an official visit from both as well.
An interesting name on the visitor list is Louisiana defensive back Kristian Fulton. The four-star defensive back has long been thought of as an LSU lean, but with the talks of Les Miles job in jeopardy could be something that plays in Florida's favor.
Making the trip from South Florida is current Miami commitment Sam Bruce. The Gators have long been pushing for a flip from the Rivals100 pass catcher. He remains commitment to the Hurricanes despite the firing of Al Golden, but plans to take official visits down the road. Florida is expected to land one of those visits.
Another prospect coming in that was a former Miami commitment is defensive en/linebacker Joshua Uche. Since backing off his commitment to the Hurricanes, Uche has shown heavy interest in the Gators as well as Alabama. This visit is his first since the summer.

The
Skinny: Early on the four star passer was highly interested in the Gators, but chose the in-state Terrapins instead. With the firing of Randy Edsall, perhaps the Gators can pull off a late flip. The Gators depth concerns at quarterback can only help Florida.

The
Skinny: Ohio State and Auburn have long been the favorites here, but Florida is in the top five. Jackson hasn't taken many visits to Gainesville, his last coming over the summer. A big part in Jackson's interest in the Gators comes from defensive line coach Chris Rumph. Florida is looking to get some traction going this weekend.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: The Gators are currently the team to beat for the junior college athlete. He's already taken official visits to Cincinnati, South Carolina and Oklahoma with plans to see Auburn further down the road. The Gators like Massey as an athlete and feel he can play multiple spots in the offense.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: This is the second visit of the fall to UF for the Alabama commitment. Though he is committed to the Crimson Tide the Gators are on his mind, and pitching the chance to play closer to home. The Gators kicking woes also make this junior college kicker a high priority for the 2016 class.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: Reese has been committed to Michigan for some time now, but seems to be on the verge of splitting ties with the Wolverines. The three-star is looking to enroll early at the school of his choice, with Michigan telling him they don't have room to do so. This has caused Reese to keep his options open checking out schools that have offered him a midyear spot.

target=_blank>Headlines
The
Skinny: Since committing to UF, Thompson has been very solid in his choice and has even strayed away from taking visits to other schools. The JUCO back has been openly recruiting for the Gators, and is expected to make an impact in the Gators offense next season.
