Obviously, anything can happen on an official visit weekend. Someone you don't expect to commit could just have an overwhelming experience and pull the trigger.

Also, just because someone doesn't go public immediately, that doesn't mean that the trip didn't set UF up to get a commitment down the road.

If someone was to pull the trigger this weekend, I would think that Jones is the most likely, but he may want to see what UGA has to offer before doing anything.

Bender put in a CB for Jones.
I saw that, and it would be a nice pick-up. There are one or two more that could possibly commit over the next two weeks. Miami's highest commitment is coming and the U isn't a happy place right now. I'm not sure if his offer is committable or not given the higher rated WR's visiting this month and this weekend.

There hasn't been anything about Smith.

He hasn't tweeted anything to and I haven't seen anyone post anything about him.

Do we have a chance?
I read one report with a couple quotes yesterday. He's very noncommittal, but very complimentary of UF and specifically DJ Lagway. Most of the predictions have him staying with OSU, but I have a feeling, or maybe just hopeful, that DJ and UF are making a big move this weekend. This sounds like a more serious, intense look at UF. Gonzales and Napier are very good recruiters and Lagway is having an effect. Also, 5-star safety D J Pickett in visiting again, and it appears that UF may be leading in his recruitment. Not a big lead, but a lead .

He didn't need to commit to us but if Smith would have at least cancelled his OSU visit I would feel better about him ending up here.

Sometimes a de-commital happens right after a really good official visit with a competitor. That happened a couple times last season with a couple of recruits who are UF freshmen now.

The coaches get paid for the nuts and bolts side of it.
I see, then they know more about it than you do, right? I'll just step out there and predict they aren't going to stop commits from visiting UF, and the recruit is the only one who decides who he commits to. Which leaves no benefit whatever to your complaint, which was my point. This is a very good recruiting staff. They don't need any help from you or I.
