this weekend the swamp it's going to be packed with top recruits all eyes are on that 3:30 kickoff between the gator and hurricanes we're going to be watching that's for sure and so will Top recruits in this video I want to find out how this Gator cane recruiting matchup is going to be impacted by the game itself couple recruiting battles to keep an eye on and I got Chad Simmons here to go over it all but first guys make sure you guys are locked in hit subscribe to the on3 recruit channel the best recruiting channel on all of YouTube go ahead hit subscribe we're going to be covering this game all weekend long all right let's bring in Chad Simmons so Chad we got a a bunch of top prospects going to be in the Ville on Saturday but there's a few that we want to go over let's start with DJ picket the five star Corner who picked LSU over both Florida and Miami but both Miami and Florida are hoping to get back involved DJ picky even said himself he said back in May to on three that he wanted to see how the Gators performed for this fall you know before really letting it go he's from Zephyr Hills right outside Gainesville do you think that DJ picket is a guy that this game could have an impact on either way it goes Miami or Florida's way yeah absolutely Josh I mean obviously I think Florida you know has more ground to make up than Miami I think a win here obviously would be huge for Florida but on the same side huge for Miami we've said when I say we Steve and myself uh have said all along that Miami you know playing the long game and their season can make a really big impact on DJ picket Recruitment and the same can be said for the University of Florida you know it's it's it's pretty similar with a lot of these guys we'll talk about that they've mentioned that they want to watch and see how both of these programs play throughout this season and kind of where the program's direction is you know come October November December so that could all impact their final decision when they sign in December so yeah I do think this is a big one for both programs picket I think has Miami right now a bit higher on his list than Florida so uh Florida has more to lose uh but also probably more to gain as well yeah good point all right Hilton stubs the stud Corner out of the Jacksonville area he committed a USC back in March and it shocked us I mean it shocked all the analysts we weren't ready for Hilton stubs to come off the board especially the USC but it also shocked the fora Gator coaching staff I think they felt like they were in a pretty good situ ation for him uh he ultimately decommits and he re and he makes another decision but this time it's the Miami Hurricanes that he commits too so this weekend he's going to be back in Gainesville to watch this one could uh Hilton stub's recruitment still be maybe open to the forter gator coaching staff well he definitely hasn't shut the door completely Josh if he's going back to the swamp this weekend obviously being a Miami commitment you know I think Florida kind of feels they lost this one twice you know we thought that Florida was trending obviously you know earlier in the year and then he committed to USC and then uh came down when he decommitted to Florida versus Miami and and Miami won that one too so Florida is not giving up he has strong connections and relationships there at the University of Florida he's been there double digit times going back this weekend and obviously again if he's taking this visit uh he still has Florida on his radar he still is in communication with that staff and Florida would love nothing more um than to put you know a whiping on the the hurricanes and make a statement in front of a guy like Hilton stub so they're working to flip from that team University of Miami yeah very possible we'll see what happens there if the Gators can pull this off now uh on Three's number one ranked linebacker is Ty Jackson he's from the Sunshine State and he's going to be in Gainesville this weekend for the game uh both Miami and Florida would love to add him to the commit list he's not going to make a decision until December so he is going to watch things play out who has more ground to make up when it comes to number one linebacker Ty Jackson is it the Gators or the Hurricanes yeah I think ground to make up Miami for sure I think Florida has pulled maybe ahead slightly in this race you know we go back and look months ago into the spring we were talking about you know Alabama Georgia even Miami more than maybe Florida but a couple of Summer trips uh to the swamp including one for the cookout uh back in July has put Florida based on my sources as an Intel uh in a good spot here so I do think Miami has more ground to make up and the a win here by Florida on the other side of that could really put them even even in a better spot making that statement early in the season all right stud wide receiver Joshua Moore out of Pembrook Pines Florida he committed to the fora Gators a couple weeks ago but he famously told on three I haven't signed anything so he's committed but he admits hey I have not signed anything is Joshua Moore still a priority Target for the Miami Hurricanes yeah he's kind of famous for that qut I think Josh at least on the inside scoop here with us uh but but no obviously again he's far from done too you go back and you go look at when he made this decision leading up to that decision you know Miami was trending there he a South Florida kid uh playmaker he's been to Miami numerous times and uh he got that uh unofficial visit to Florida then an official visit to Florida and and they kind of changed the direction there pretty quickly he committed to the Gators there so again he's going back to Miami at some point this fall maybe more than one time and uh they're still very much involved in his recruitment so this is a big game on both sides uh for Joshua Moore does he feel good about Florida after this game does he feel better about Miami after this game both teams have a lot to gain or lose uh in this contest all right jarquez Carter he's one of the uh most talented instate defensive lineman in Florida this cycle but he committed to Ohio State this summer which was a bit of a surprise because really all three instate teams would have taken well four put UCF I'm sure they would have taken them as well um but jarquise Carter commits to Ohio State he's GNA be in Gainesville this weekend do you think that's significant I do I think again he has his eye on both teams I mean he's committed to Ohio State but he's right there not far from Gainesville and uh he has a teammate committed to the University of Miami now they flipped him from NC State they have a connection there but he's I would say Florida was in a better spot heading into summer O's you know now he commits to Ohio State um I think there's some level of confidence that both Florida and Miami feeli they can keep him in the end home in state who will it be we'll have to wait and see or does he stay with Ohio State but both schools are recruiting him hard they haven't given up and obviously he hasn't given up on them he'll watch both teams play this weekend yeah hey traditionally Miami usually flips a couple from Ohio State at the end of the cycle so hey maybe jarquez Carter is the next one that Ohio State flips but we'll see what happens big game this week you guys talk to us who who do you think is going to win give us your score predictions and also what will the recruiting impact of that win be let us
