    It doesn't sound like he is reclassifying.

    At the earliest, I would say 2024, and possibly Redshirt him. Then he could be learning theGators playbook, and sharpen skills in learning to read the other teams Defense.

    Admissions will have something to say about it. He has time to jump through hoops for 24. 23 probably pushing it.

    I’m not impressed unless it’s a 5.35 GPA or higher.

    I guess that’s not as good for us as 23, but better than 24 — if that makes any sense

    Bits and pieces of the answer to this question are contained in the posts above. Apparently this kid finished his HS requirements in 9th grade — or something like that — and is super smart. Got a bunch of college credits already. I think he’s also older than 18 — or something like that. How he actually gets reclassified I got no idea. There — that makes it clear, right?

    Doesn't he have a teammate that we are recruiting too? Maybe a receiver from Pahokee?

    Jeremiah Smith... Come on down.

    All the great Qbs flocking to UF these days...is it the potential of our offense which reels them in or the opportunity to throw passes to Andre Debose during his last years of eligibility?

    I think having a losing season and a 53.8 completion percentage but still going in the first round is a damn good selling point :D

    As long as he has at least three semesters of multi-temporal hyper-geometric calculus, we should be able to get him past admissions with only a year or two of additional math credits.

    Spent a bit of time around Moore Haven and Clewiston. Same lake. Some great bass fishing there. I remember as a teenager in a tiny little like 10 foot aluminum john boat I hooked up with a giant mudfish and he literally towed me around in circles until I got him up to the boat and off the hook

    Oh the days of my youth.
