    Respectfully disagree. All the talk about the importance of academics and UF being a great fit athletically evaporated like a shallow puddle on a sunny August day - once the subject of money came up. He had his shot and he/dad apparently decided to take the money and run. Again, he had his shot and decided UF isn't where he wants to go. When people show you what's important to them, believe them the first time. He moved on and we should too.

    Why are people upset that Kiffen flipped Simmons. It's business not personal. Napier is doing the same thing trying to flip commits.

    As far as trolling, he does it to everyone.

    He’s shown that. Just me being gun shy about throwing a young guy to the wolves, especially that schedule with no clear back up?

    Doubt it, the kid was 10 credits away from his bachelor's degree. Which means he already had an AA from Miami Dade college.

    He does it because he is an immature clown with low moral character. He was when he was at UT 14 years ago and continues to be to this day. Everyone thought he changed and grew up when he worked his way back to the SEC but he really hasn’t.

    And the wheels. I was concerned about Simmons' running ability.

    The trolling is fun. Beats the stuffy coach speak we get all the time. Reminds me when SOS would drop shade on other schools.

    SOS was quick witted with a quip or quote but he wasn’t dishonest and took the responsibility of being a coach & mentor seriously. Kiffin is an ass …and with his track record it’s hard to understand why a parent would be ok leaving their teenage son under his care and guidance.
