CeCe Jefferson has not signed LOI

[soflagator]

Pretty much ready to throw in the towel here. This entire recruiting cycle has been way more taxing that it should'v been. Time to move on to 2016 where at least our coaches have the chance to establish a full year relationship with the prospects and show improvements on the field. Not sure why parents in these cases feel like they need to have such an influence. Truthfully, at any university, he's going to get an education, guidance, and a chance to showcase his physical abilities. There's not necessarily a wrong decision. So why not just let him go where he wants to go. And to be balanced, I'll again reiterate that Harvey-Clemons' grandfather was equally out of line. As someone mentioned above, you're a 5* player from Florida meaning that you've probably been recruited for 4 years and have seen everything each school has to offer a thousand times. There's always going to be some factor that makes XYZ school not quite perfect, or another equally enticing. You've had time, you've reviewed your options countless times. Time to make a decision and move on with your life.

We weren't counting on him really, so let's take what we have and focus on the future.

This will not end well.

I find it hard to believe that MacElwain hasn't tried to reach out to Jefferson today.

In before the merge.

Well perhaps one of our legal experts could inform us on who has to sign. Seems like a family issue to me, and one that could be fixed by enrolling in school.

A legal guardian over the age of 21 has to sign because he's under 21. I'm not a lawyer, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

If this goes bad his Dad may not make it out of Baker Co.

I do as well. That said, being that I don't know JM or this staff very well, I'd say that if this is the case, or even that CCJ was being recruited much harder by others, it may be a lesson learned about the recruiting game in the SEC and SE.

Meyer got burned one time by Patrick Robinson in 2006 and you could see he had no idea it was coming. He changed after that.

Lots of lying going on...I highly doubt Mac tried to pull one over on CC and just "never called" him.

Yea I call ******** on the whole thing.

In before the merge.

I know, right? We needed another thread for this?

Auburn booster money at work. See father of Newton, Cam for reference.

If he doesn't want to be a Gator, then so long. I'm with divits - enough ass kissing. Nut up and make a decision.

Here's what his dad is saying. https://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1734086

I'm so over this. It seems it's more about the attention a school gives rather than what really matters.

looks like his dad is the one that doesn't want him to be a Gator...hard to blame the kid for this one unless more info comes out from Cece and not that lunatic father of his.

 

[G8RNGA]

Florida is getting a lot of attention today. None of the other schools are. I am ok with this.

I guess that old adage of "even bad press is press" or whatever is taking shape here! 😃

If this is true, then what is mac doing not calling? But, this Leo character really wants to be pandered to... Lets drag this recruiting process out even longer...

Either Leo is a lying media whore who is just enjoying his time in the sun, or this kid has been swayed by some outside force from another school (most likely auburn, with pressure being applied by muschump and cowart). I find it difficult to believe Mac hasn't contacted him today. I don't believe that at all. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if a UF registered car was sent to baker county to actually pick up the LOI and hand-delivered to the athletic dept.
