I love UF (and you too Slev) and there's no question it's a solid education, but let's not get carried away. Top 15 Public University education, I'm on board with. I was on a shuttle down in key west a few years back and some dude sitting in front of me started telling this girl sitting next to him that he was trying to make time with that he went to LSU and many people call LSU the "Harvard of the south". I couldn't help but burst out laughing and ask him who these "many people" were. I think he would have been offended if he couldn't see that I was getting a cramp from genuinely laughing so hard.

This is the year!!!
The education they are referring to is football education...most could give 2 sh!ts about real education. Even the Rhodes Scholar Myron Rolle when picking a college said education was top priority because he wanted to be a DR. and chose the clown school over UF...let that sink in...
That's what I meant. Lol at top 15 in totality. But, it's not my opinion that they're top 15 in public school. UF is rated that way year after year.
huh?

I have heard Vandy called the Harvard of the South but I most associate Emory with that moniker. Had a buddy go there. I'll differ to others though if someone has better info. I want to say Stetson Law gets that nickname as well.
I've heard Vandy and Duke in equal measures.
Found this on the leatherwood situation:
He had planned to make the flip to UF after the Under Armour game, but when he called Bama to do so, he ended up talking to Saban for a few hours all about loyalty and how much time was spent on recruiting him and all the players passed up because of him etc. etc. Basically a bunch of guilt tripping from the master of loyalty himself...anyways a number of coaches also joined in and quite a few current Alabama players jumped on the phone call as well.

Leatherwood was set to fly to Bama after the phone call and things seemed about over but he decided to go to the Outback Bowl anyways. Bama hassled him the whole way to Tampa on the phone. Leatherwood is not allowed to meet our staff face to face because of the dead period and no financial aid paperwork, but he did talk to Mac after the game.
We made a ton of effort and things were extremely close here, closer than anybody will probably believe. Can't speak to his thought process, but he had definitely planned on flipping last second with our staff and made a big effort to get things set up to see our game and join our team afterwards. At the end of the day, the Bama pressure from coaches/teammates/his commitment ended up being too much in one way or another.
Looks like we'll finish 2nd again!!

Well he still has time. Hopefully he has someone strong in his corner to help him thru this.
If true, it's funny that Saban would talk loyalty and sticking to his commitment (see: the way he lied to the Dolphins and tries to flip other team's commits).

If he wants to come here then he will come here. Otherwise he wants to be at another school whatever the reason is.
