5. James Robinson, wide receiver, Lakeland

James Robinson is 6-foot-3 wide receiver from Lakeland, Florida. He’s received offers from Alabama and Clemson, and he’s turned heads at just about every major program in the country. Florida, the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Oklahoma Sooners round out what we believe are his top three choices as the time for him to make a decision draws near.

Robinson is seen as the 14th-best wide receiver in the country by 247Sports.com.

Florida, especially in the SEC Championship game, have shown a lack of ability to be consistent on offense. Honestly, that’s really been an issue for this program since Urban Meyer left. Fortunately for them, they play in the SEC East and avoid most of the more dominant programs of the conference. There’s still an annual matchup with the LSU Tigers they’ll be circling, and with Ed Orgeron taking over, they’ll need to find a way to put up some points.

Alabama looks to end up with one of the top two recruiting classes again, and if the Gators can find their way back to another chance at conference superiority, they’ll need a better offensive showing than the one they had this past December. Football is back in “The Swamp”. The question, however, is whether or not the Gators can hold off the other teams in the SEC East. Only time will tell if they can.
