Report:  Staver picked OC Brent Pease and the Gators back on the 18th of June.  Here is what he had to say about Coach Pease to the Orlando Sentinel:

“Coach Pease, he’s real straight forward,  not a bull-crapper, not going to tell you that you’re all-this or all-that,” Staver said. “I don’t need someone who is going to lie to my face. I need someone to be honest with me and to help me keep improving.”

No, the word "bull-crapper" is not in the dictionary.

Rivals, Scout, and 247Sports all see Staver as a 3-star recruit and rank him between 19 and 59 at his position (Pro-Style).  On the other hand, ESPN has him as a 4-star recruit and have him in the ESPN300 (262).

Staver put up some excellent numbers last year as he threw for over 1800 yards, 19 TDs, and only threw 4 INTS.  According to the Sentinel, he completed over 63% of his passes.

Now to the scouting reports.

Here is SB Nation's Recruiting Analyst, Bud Elliott's take on Staver:

Staver is a consensus three-star recruit, though ESPN does award him a rating of four stars. The primary reason for this is that Staver has a big arm. Really big. The offense in which he plays appears to be mostly shotgun. Staver can move a little, which one might not expect given his size. Importantly, he shows the ability to avoid the rush inside the pocket, reset his feet, and get rid of the ball. The delivery is a bit low, but at 6'6 it might not matter all that much.

Well, that was about the only scouting report that I could find.  Here is one by ESPN's Tom Luginbill($), but I don't have ESPN Insider.  ESPN lists accuracy, arm strength, and reads as Staver's strengths.

Oh, here is an excellent video($) that includes highlights of Staver with analysis by Rivals.

In this Rivals article($), it states that Staver was talking with many Gator commitments in the process including Tre Bell, Ahmad Fullwood, Nick Washington, and three others.

In the end of the Sentinel article, it states that Staver has no plans to visit any other school.  Also, Staver will be in Gainesville next week for Florida's Friday Night Lights camp.
