    I thought the exact same thing when watching those highlights. Not sure I would question Danny’s athletic running ability though after his great Sugar Bowl TD run! :D

    Oh, that's right, I forgot. Thomas Jefferson said, "Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper."

    My apology as I totally misread what you said. I misinterpreted rumblings from other sites as being from forums, and I was wrong. More than that, it was a stupid response and I regret my authoritarian response to you!

    So true. LOIs are the only real news.

    Have you seen his high school championship highlights? He ran the option in HS and had a long TD run to win the championship.

    While that's true, it seems like the LOI has been watered down since the kid could "fax" it in then after spring practice enter into the transfer portal.

    Is that true? I thought if you signed an LOI you couldn't play anywhere else that year?

    I was thinking if you are an EE. You could go through spring practice and then transfer. It's happened to us before.

    We would release them from their loi if they wanted to go somewhere else before fall. LOI doesn’t hold much weight nowadays.

    If they enrolled and went through spring, that may complicate things, but pretty sure there was a qb that went back and fourth between usc and tx a year or two ago, and they let him move again after spring with no repercussions.

    Could definitely do this. Whether the kid could still be released from his loi or have to burn his one time free transfer, I’m not sure.

    According to this article in The Athletic, we never offered.

    "Coastal Carolina’s Grayson McCall, among the more mobile quarterbacks in the portal, also had conversations with the Gators though no offer was extended."

    It was WR Bru McCoy, who then transferred to tennessee this year and somehow got yet another free transfer

    Pretty sure he would have to burn his one time get out of jail free card but essentially makes the LOI almost pointless.
    If things keep going the way they are pretty soon the one time transfer rule without sitting out a year will go away as well.

    It’s because they released him from his loi, so he didn’t have to use his freebie. Or it’s been a few years, I guess it’s possible he’s graduated already, but I’m pretty sure it’s because he was released from his original loi. Nobody is held accountable anymore.
