Why Vernon Hargreaves Will Be A Florida Gator

If you missed it (I did), last night 5-star cornerback Vernon Hargreaves named his top five teams via his Twitter account.

Top 5 ) 1.Florida 2.Clemson 3.Vanderbilt 4.Miami 5.Notre Dame , USF is not in my top 5 but still considering !

Obviously this is great news for the Will Muschamp and Gator fans.  Offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil and Vernon Hargreaves III (VHIII) are the top targets left on Florida's board.

So why am I already naming Hargreaves a Gator?  Well I may look like a moron if this doesn't happen, but I really like Florida's chances with VHIII.  Here's why.

First, last week VHIII named USC his leader after taking a trip out to Los Angeles.  So VHIII's love with the Trojans was only short-term as he doesn't even have USC in his top 5.  Good news.

Secondly, USF isn't in the list (although he does mention he is still considering them).  Why is this important?  VHIII's father is the special teams coordinator and is also the defensive ends coach for the USF Bulls.  For a long time, it seemed like the race would come down to Florida and USF (and I still believe it will be).  With Hargreaves listing USF out of the top 5 (unless he is playing with us recruitniks), it seems like the Gators will be his choice.

Lastly, Amy Campbell of Fox Sports NEXT, said that "his mind is pretty much made up, expect a final announcement a final announcement within the month" on her Twitter account.  Okay, let me get this straight.  VHIII's mind is "pretty much made up" and he has the Florida Gators at the top of his list.  You can connect the dots.

So who will it be, the Gators or someone else?  Comment below.
