Florida Gators Recruiting Review: Massive early enrollee class could bolster 2016 roster

Florida's dozen midyear additions could prove vital in 2016.

Florida's 2016 recruiting class is nearing completion, because National Signing Day is just eight days away — but it's also been nearly half done since the second week of January, because of a historic class of midyear enrollees.

Florida enrolled 12 prospects in classes for the spring semester earlier this month, a new record in the program's history. Because three of those recruits are junior college prospects, it's technically not a Florida record for early enrollees, as that term is generally reserved for high school prospects entering college for the first time: The Gators had 11 early enrollees in their 2010 recruiting class, Urban Meyer's final one with the school.
