GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- With pieces of the quarterback puzzle falling into (or out of) place, the Gators are starting to get a clear picture of which signal-caller they would like to sign in their 2013 recruiting class.
Within a matter of days, Florida's top quarterback targets -- Cooper Bateman (Salt Lake City, Utah/Cottonwood), Cody Thomas (Colleyville, Texas/Heritage) and Kevin Olsen (Wayne, N.J./Wayne Hills) -- committed to Alabama, Oklahoma and Miami, respectively.
So where do the Gators turn now? Florida has offered several quarterbacks recently, including Troy Williams (Harbor City, Calif./Narbonne), Ryan Buchanan (Jackson, Miss./Jackson Prep) and Tim Boyle (Middletown, Conn./Xavier).
