UPDATE: QB Malik Zaire officially a Gator

[MertzJay26]

He's right....and go clean yourself up..you've got a little Kanell on you face

I don't know what that is but it sounds like something you'd enjoy

 

[MertzJay26]

Good for you Jay, at the end of the day every school has your thugs and bad apples but every school also has good people who do right in this world and your speaking up for them. I respect that a lot!

Childish to think otherwise IMO

You are a pumper. At least that's what Kanell says

Will the speculation be over soon?

Anwar Richardson of OrangeBloods.com reports that Zaire is down to two teams, Texas and an unnamed school. (Wisconsin? Harvard?)
Richardson had previously reported that the announcement could come today, and that would likely eliminate Florida.
"Was told similar. His graduation is on Sunday and he should announce sometime after that"

Its Zaire time it appears. Mac said after watching practice that a QB could easily win the job just with the camp before the season started.

Danny Kanell ( ) ?

queer!

Malik Zaire, the one-time starting quarterback for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, seems in no rush to announce where he’ll pursue his graduate year.

The 22-year-old, who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, is reportedly down to two teams: the Texas Longhorns and an undisclosed second team thought to be either the Florida Gators, Wisconsin Badgers or the Harvard Crimson.

Zaire told the Dayton Daily News Friday that he’s “just waiting for some things to finalize.”

I’ll echo the majority opinion and speculate the Kettering, Ohio product is waiting to see if the Southeastern Conference relaxes its graduate transfer rule during its spring meeting, which starts Thursday in Destin, Fla.

The Gators are forbidden from taking a graduate transfer for three years because two of their graduate football players from 2015 failed to meet academic requirements.

Those requirements, according to the SEC bylaws, are:

“To be eligible for any competition following the first full-time semester of enrollment at the certifying institution, the student-athlete must successfully complete at least nine (9) semester hours of graduate level academic coursework in his or her designated graduate program during that first full-time semester (which must all be completed with a passing grade accepted for credit in his or her designated graduate program)”

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey told GatorBait.net that the rule would be re-evaluated.

“We put originally a five-year prohibition on taking more grad transfers because we wanted that accountability to be meaningful,” he said. “We’ve moved that to three, and actually in our office we had a number of conversations observing, first of all, no one else has that kind of accountability in their own system. We don’t want to be overly punitive in how we create that kind of accountability.”

It sounds as if the SEC has changed its mind about forcing its member universities to educate its graduate athletes if doing so creates an competitive disadvantage on the football field.

I don’t believe the standard — ensuring athletes pass nine credit hours worth of courses over the course of a single semester — was particularly onerous. It’s a shame they may relax it.

We shouldn't be punished for stuff other conferences aren't. My guess is the SEC will change the ban to 1 year for that.

And my guess is he's definitely waiting on that ruling, and the reason the "2nd school" isn't really being named is because that 2nd school is UF, and the likely landing spot, or if the rule isn't changed, other school fills the slot.

Sounds like he definitely wants to come here.

Don't know why that guy thinks Wisconsin is the best chance as they have a starter that has played already unlike us with Franks # 1 now.

... Cannot believe an HC would "dump" on the QB-horse he has in the corral, relative to one running free that hasn't chosen our field. That is the opposite of "building" a young inexperienced QB -- unless Mac's had a sit-down with Franks such that Franks agrees that he could benefit from having a backup season to marinate more? Still, I don't believe Mac would announce that publicly.

This whole quarterback debacle we currently have here can Malik my balls...
