    Yeah ET- I guess it's disappointing for us folks. For Gator Nation in general. If you like a school just pledge to that school. These chump moves are so low rent IMHO.

    But, be that as it may...there were a lot of sites, podcasts that were fluffing this up too. Young kids haven't learned what life is all about just yet. So, sometimes, I'll give these guys a mulligan. But to waste a coaches time, feign loyalty...I call bullcrap on that. JMHO. If this keeps occuring around the Miami program- it makes sense.

    I guess quality relationships become more sacred as you age.

    There will be others. Better bigger faster and more deserving of the Gator brand.

    Go Gators.;)

    Exactly! He showed he's perfectly willing to burn bridges with a coach who helped make him who he is. That should be a huge red flag. It certainly is for me. There's a big difference in saying, "I just can't pick yet" or "I just don't know yet." Then pick scUM. This involved a pattern of intentional lying. Yeah, I'm a dinosaur. Character matters.

    This is the part that we have to remember when that nothing school (Miami) wants to join the SEC... and believe me they already do want in.

    CM had to be paid to troll UF. Screw that entire university and their low rent football program one that no one goes to see play. They are NOT worthy to consider joining the SEC.

    Maybe Miami should pay their players to not lose at home to Duke by 3 touchdowns instead.

    This is why I pay no attention to these man-children until they’re suited up and contributing.

    Says the man criticizing a 17 year old kid who knows nothing about the background behind why he made the decision.

    Let's see what happens on NSD. And remember, we have a quality group of DB's already committed and Desmond Ricks just switched to this year's class. This was an unexpected development for Gator fans, but it's not the end of the world.

    Good riddance. Addition by subtraction. Would be a locker room cancer.

    We got a damn good haul in DBs for 2023 and can ice it with Ricks and further assert ourselves now on IMG.

    Yeah I don't think these grown adults realize how bad it looks to trash a high school kid's character, especially when: A)they don't know the kid personally and B) said adults were just getting ready to welcome that same kid with open arms. It makes you look fake as hell. I love Gator football and want the best players to come here, but what do I look like getting all out of character because some 18-year old doesn't want to come play for my team? LOL it's NEVER that serious.

    Nailed it. Nothing like a 45 year old dude getting bent outta shape over a 17 year olds 2-3 year choice that has nothing to do with him. And the pretty gross behavior on some social media pages… ridiculous. Calling kids thugs etc. Totaliy inappropriate. And besides all that/ in this day of transfers and flips/ why would you give ANYONE reason to not want to change their mind. I mean, if the kid maybe decides to flip and you’ve gone all scorched earth -Clint -Eastwood -get off my lawn? Bad look Gators.

    Precisely my thoughts. If these kids are such low-character, selfish, greedy, money-grubbing thugs, and we heavily recruited them...then what does that say about us?

    I think there's room for nuance here. If he actually lied and did a troll job then I'm glad he went elsewhere and may he be forever buried on the depth chart. If he just made a business decision then cool.

    correct.
    If he trolled another school and picked the Gators, everyone trashing him now would be loving this kid for sticking it to another school and the word "character" would never be uttered.

    Just like Kearney when he first committed to FSU. I don’t play that game since we would take his flip no problem.
