The early signing period officially opened Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. ET and several commits, including Gainesville-native Myles Graham, have signed and sent their letters of intent to Florida.

The faxes with signed national letters of intent can officially start rolling in at 7 a.m, but until the last one comes in sometime in the afternoon, the phrase most often heard among Florida coaches at the Heavener Football Complex is “please pass the Tums!” Florida’s once third-ranked recruiting class is currently at No. 8 and threatening to fall outside the top ten nationally if some of the highly prized commitments are flipped.

The early signing period, during which recruits are able to send their letter of intent to the school of their choice, opens on Dec. 20. Florida's 2024 class currently includes 19 commits, all of which are expected to sign on Wednesday.

A few thoughts to jump start your Tuesday morning

A few thoughts to jump start your Monday morning:

Although Xavier Filsaime committed to the Gators back in April, the last few weeks have seen the Texas Longhorns making an incredibly hard push to flip the McKinney (Tx.) native. That effort payed off on Monday as he announced his decision to flip to Texas, marking a significant miss for Florida.

Billy Napier and his staff were in major need of momentum and they got just that this past weekend with two commitments from the transfer portal. They didn't stop there, adding a third commitment on Monday, as former Oregon defensive back Trikweze Bridges announced his decision to join the Gators.

Just hours after landing their first commitment from the transfer portal, the Gators added another with a pledge from coveted defensive lineman Joey Slackman.

Heading into the final official visitor weekend before the NCAA's "dead period," Florida had not recevied any commitments from players in the transfer portal. That all changed Sunday when former San Diego State offensive tackle Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson announced that he would be joining the Gators.

The transfer portal has been open for nearly two weeks, and more than 1,400 players have officially entered their names. The Florida Gators have experienced some players leaving but are also actively seeking additions at key positions.
