Florida gains center commitment
Posted: Friday September 28, 2007 05:38AM ET
Eloy Vargas, a five-star center from American (Fla.) Heritage, committed toFlorida on Wednesday night. The 6-foot-10 Vargas, ranked No. 10 nationally in the senior class by Rivals.com, turned down Pittsburgh, Louisville, Miami and Florida State. Pitt had been considered the front-runner since it began recruiting Vargas, but his stock soared with a strong summer, attracting two-time defending champion Florida.

Report Offensive CommentBy then Kentucky will be fully stocked. Florida will return to it's usual finish of 2-4 in the SEC East (and all the UF football fans won't have even noticed).

Report Offensive CommentOh, and "ships"? You obviously don't understand the allure of attending a school with back to back national championships.
2-4 in the SEC. Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

Report Offensive CommentPoughkeepsie - you obviously don't know the story behind the "Oh Fours." Out of the four of them, only one (Brewer) was a MacDonald's All-American. This recruiting class was initially viewed as much weaker than Donovan's previous classes. This is EXACTLY what allowed Donovan to take a bunch of relatively unknown players, without huge egos or feelings of entitlement, and mold them into the epitome of a TRUE TEAM, without the typical selfish, overconfident attitudes. Point being - you can't say these kids "are no Horford/Noah" until you see them after a year under Billy's guidance.....
