One of the strangest stories in quite possibly the history of recruiting has come to an end.

 

After much drama and three different commitments in one month, the nation's No. 1 safety – Jerimy Finch – has stayed true to the reports from last night and has signed with Florida, this morning during a press conference at his Warren Central high school.

 

As the original report suggested last night, the rich (Florida) keep getting richer. Finch's commit to Urban Meyer comes after the Gators picked up a verbal from five-star defensive end Carlos Dunlap. UF now also has the two top-ranked safeties in the nation in Finch and Major Wright.

 

Finch's recruitment was certainly a saga for the ages. He originally made the Hoosier faithful's wildest dreams a reality early last month when he de-committed from Michigan and in turn gave his pledge to Hoeppner after a successful visit to Bloomington.

 

However, he still flirted a bit with the Wolverines coaching staff, and he also visited Gainesville late last month. Then, there were the events of last night when he was quoted as saying that he'd had a talk with the Gator coaches and had informed them they would be receiving his letter of intent – effectively de-committing from Indiana about 12 hours before signing day. Later on that night, reports were surfacing that he was still in fact wavering between the two schools.

 

Finch's newfound presence in the Gator class cements the group as one of nation's top group in 2007.

 

 

How sad....

Congrats to J. Finch. I hope he has a great career.

Florida ought to be even more fun for UK in the next few years.

Yeah, was real mad about this. But then realized I will still get to see him whoop up on KY so it's not a total loss.

Will the other Warren Central Hoosier recruits still go to IU or is it a Gator package deal?

You may be able to take out UK and insert any team for the forseeable future.

the other three showed up at the press conference in full IU attire and signed on the dotted line, just like they committed to do.

 

Finch committed to UM, then IU then in the last three days to Fla. what a joke.

Probably...

The #1 back in the country, Joe McKnight, has signed with USC . LSU thought they had a legit shot since he's an in-state kid.

Wow. That's a huge loss for LSU.

Lets not feel too sorry for them. They did sign the #2 receiver who picked them over the Gators.

Hold on. Conflicting info on this.

UNC and Butch Davis are apparently off to a great start. They got the WR out of Nashville that UK was after. They got an in-state kid and now they appear to be getting the #1 recruit in the country DL Marvin Austin out of D.C.
