After what On3's Steve Wiltfong called "literal last-minute conversations" between the SEC's Oklahoma Sooners and Florida Gators, four-star wide receiver Davian Groce abruptly made a decision late Monday evening.

Groce announced earlier Monday that he would finally make his decision later that day after weeks of anticipation that he was surely a lock to OU. But after a day of a “little final negotiating," according to Wiltfong, Groce ultimately committed to Florida over the Sooners in a last-minute recruitment stunner. OU was presumably outbid by the Gators.
