Ohio State’s receiving unit just became better.
A late addition to the Buckeyes, James Clark (New Smyrna Beach, Fla./New Smyrna Beach) picked Ohio State Wednesday over Florida and Clemson.

As a senior, Clark finished the season with 49 catches for 1,112 yards and added eight touchdowns.
What is the impact of Clark's decision nationally?

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- There are just a couple of short weeks remaining until national signing day, and the Florida Gators have met a majority of their recruiting needs. With graduation, transfers and players leaving for the NFL draft, there are a few areas Florida head coach Will Muschamp would still like to shore up.
Key holes to fill
The Gators lost key personnel along the offensive line, wide receiver, linebacker, running back and secondary and are hoping to replenish their talent with junior college transfers and incoming freshmen.

Editor’s note: Every Tuesday and Thursday through Jan. 31, GatorNation will break down each position. We’ll look at 2013, of course, but also try to peek beyond next season. Today is wide receiver. We will profile running backs Tuesday.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Two-deep: This is without question the Gators’ weakest position. The group has been below average for three seasons. Redshirt junior Quinton Dunbar, who has 50 career catches, and redshirt senior Andre Debose, a career underachiever with 29 career catches, are the two most experienced players and would likely be the starters if the season started today. Debose is supremely talented but has been hampered by work ethic, attitude and consistency issues throughout his career. Senior Solomon Patton (eight career catches) and sophomore Latroy Pittman (two catches in 2012) would be the backups.
Next up: Sophomore Raphael Andrades, who caught two passes last season, and freshman early enrollee Demarcus Robinson will have every chance to move up the depth chart in the spring. Next to Debose, Robinson is the most talented receiver on the roster.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- There is less than a month remaining until national signing day and Florida's 2013 recruiting class is almost completely full. The Gators stand at 27 commitments, eight of whom have already enrolled at UF. With only a few spots remaining, here's a look at some of the top remaining recruits on Florida's board.
DE Elijah Daniel (Avon, Ind./Avon) -- The 6-foot-3, 249-pound defensive end was impressive during the Under Armour week. Daniel has taken visits to Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Marshall and will visit Arizona State this weekend and Florida on Feb. 1. The Gators and Ole Miss appear to be the frontrunners for Daniel.
