Universities throughout Florida have cancelled classes and or closed campuses through Monday, at the earliest, causing at least three official visits to be postponed/rescheduled for later dates. Five-star point guard Devon Dotson and four-star small forward Khavon Moore were both scheduled to visit Florida this weekend but the two will now have to reschedule their trips to Gainesville.

Keldon Johnson, a five-star wing at Oak Hill Academy, originally planned to visit Florida State this weekend but soon after completing his visit to Texas last weekend it was announced that he will trip to N.C. State this weekend and come to Tallahassee next weekend.

The No. 35 ranked prospect in the 2018 class, Weaver is down to Florida, Ohio State, Oklahoma State and USC. He visited USC last weekend and next weekend he'll make the two hour drive to Gainesville.

Following his trip to USC, the Montverde Academy guard still has visits to Wake Forest, Ohio State and Florida on his itinerary.

St. Petersburgh High School point guard Serrel Smith is racking up the frequent flyer miles. The three-star prospect has already visited Wichita State and Dayton, this weekend he heads to Oxford, Mississippi for an official visit to Ole Miss.
