When I was in high school, I wanted to be a recruiting reporter. I read recruiting stories daily while I was supposed to be paying attention in class, and National Signing Day was one of my favorite days of the year (seriously).
A year ago, it was Tyrie Cleveland. The year before that, it was Martez Ivey and CeCe Jefferson. Those were the headliners Jim McElwain managed to snag on signing day in his first two seasons at Florida. With Ivie and Jefferson, it was expected. With Cleveland, it was considered a moderate surprise.
Jim McElwain is hoping to make major moves. His team’s recruiting class currently ranks 19th in the nation, but he’s hoping to vault up the list with some big commitments today.

Entering the season, expectations were high for the Florida women’s tennis team. It held the No. 1 ranking, it was the SEC coaches’ pick to win the conference and its head coach boasted that this was his most talented team in 16 years. But despite the pressure, the Gators are living up to the hype.
As Ronni Williams strolled off the court at Memorial Gymnasium for the final time on Sunday afternoon, she was drenched in sweat and breathing heavily.
For the first time in over a year, Florida’s swimming and diving teams had a home meet at the O’Connell Center.
In the last routine of the meet, junior All-American Kennedy Baker stepped up to the mat.
In last week’s victory against No. 6 Auburn, the Gators men’s swimming and diving team — which won 10 out of 16 events — improved its dual-meet win streak to three.
