Florida Gators Country **** Football Recruiting **** Jenkins impressed by Florida fans

The celebration of Florida’s 45-12 win over FSU was still going on in a lot of places when the Gator coaching staff hit the recruiting trail. Coaches Steve Addazio and John Hevesy put on their 2006 National Championship rings and caught a plane for Clayton, Ohio to do an in-home visit with Zerbie Sanders, the 6-6, 270-pound offensive tackle prospect who has been getting an earful of negative recruiting from other schools. Obviously, the negative recruiting hasn’t worked out so well because Sanders is planning another visit to Florida some time in the next two weeks.

Sanders has already visited Gainesville but now that he’s had a chance to host the Florida coaches in his home, he’s ready to take a closer look and see what he might have missed out the first trip down south.

“It was great,” Sanders said. “They came down and my mom fixed dinner and we just talked about coming back down there. When I took my official down there I was only down there for less than 24 hours. I was actually talking about coming down there for an unofficial and spending a day with the players and coaches because I really like Florida.”

I can't imagine Zebire following Miles to Michigan, unless it is a subtle dig at Ohio State for not offering. But, LSU has never really been a player for Zebrie. It seems the are picking up some ground, but it has always been UGA and UF. UGA, imo, gets him.

Most kids commit to a program and a university...not just a head coach...Zebrie still goes South in my opinion.

Did The Buckeyes never pursue this kid or why did he never get an offer?

Staff decided to take a pass along time ago...didn't feel his frame and potential met what they were looking for in comparison to kids like Adams, Brewster, Shugarts and Jenkins...kids the staff was confident they could land.
