    I have to wonder what they told his older brother for him to just dump the Gators for MSU. It can't simply be lack of playing time this year. Or is it totally unrelated to his recruitment?

    No single player can bring the program back to where it needs to be but Creed was one of the best athletes in UF's class and the second fastest behind Mizell. Who do you think is that caliber athlete? This was a huge loss IMO.

    That caliber athlete? Of our skill players... Gates, Dijon, Wilson, Mizell, Denson, Jakeem, Castell that caliber for sure. Jean I haven't seen enough of. Truth be told Patterson is an incredible athlete, great hoops player.
    Creed is a heck of an athlete, no question. But this class is loaded with athleticism. And Cormani might just raise the bar higher.

    Just How sold was Creed at being a WR? With him primarily playing QB I can see shades of K.Toneys 1st couple years here mildly struggling to actually learn the position of Receiver despite his amazing skills with the ball in his hand. There is such commitment to mastering ones craft that more times than not its the "other" things that hold back insanely athletically gifted kids.

    For me, Holding on to Wilson and Mizell is more important. Wilson is a beast.

    Not sure how I feel about this. Creed is a very good athlete, but we have lots of athleticism at WR in this class. Also will ultimately have a numbers crunch. If he wants a chance to play QB it probably makes sense for him to go elsewhere because with our numbers and our board I’m not sure if that is something that makes sense at UF. Was happy when he committed, but get why he would decommit, and I’m not too upset about it.
