Florida Coach Urban Meyer -whose team plays Ohio State tonight for the NCAA Division 1-A national collegiate football championship- is a very modern coach when it comes to recruiting.
Cach Meyer uses his BlackBerry to text message potential recruits.
He has been working with his staff to make the Gators hip.
Florida is expected to have up to 10 players enroll early, which is believed to be the most ever for one school. The previous year less than 60 players enrolled early at all the schools.

I wonder what will be done via text next?
