Florida Gators Friday Night Lights recap: Five commitments, tons of talent highlight weekend

Florida's Friday Night Lights has come and gone, and five commitments from the weekend show that this year's event was more publicly successful than both recent ones in the program's history and than most expectations suggested it would be.

Let's evaluate it based on the same questions we asked in our preview of the event.

1. Who showed up?

You want stars? Okay.

Two 247Sports Composite five-star recruits showed up at Florida last weekend: WR Nate Craig-Myers, who came instead of going to Auburn, and made the trip with brother and fellow Florida target Jayvaughn Myers; DL Shavar Manuel, who named Florida one of his three leaders and surprisingly omitted Florida State from that list despite being heavily rumored to have committed to the Seminoles earlier this spring.
