***Official Game Thread*** Florida vs Tennessee

ANOTHER big win for our Gators! Final score not misleading. We dominated at the end and pulled away. OWNED and DESTROYED them in the 2nd half 51-37. Go Gators!! LOVE the black unis too!

Didn't get to see it but sure sounded like a great game. Anytime bUTtchugg loses and at the hands of UF is a great day. Sounds as if this team is improving and will be fun to watch.

If Allen, Barry, and Leon stay on course at scoring say 20 + 16 + 14 (= 50) then DRob gets a worthwhile 14,
Hill a reasonable 10, Egbunu hits 6, that's a solid 80 with subs Stone,Rimmer,Hayes, etc together add 9 = 89.

Of course, my optimistic projection relies on these guys continuing in individual improvement along with
some natural team growth. Plus UF spent so much early game-time on blundering sloppiness.
Hope we don't take a fall back.

Our ratings-climb might be slow because UK seems the only respectable SEC team this year.

I am starting to think this team could possibly pull a # 4 or # 5 seed if we can split with Kentucky. I doubt we are struggling at the end hoping to get in like last season.

This game was proof that depth and def. pressure will prevail. UT's first five is talented. Young. And that small guy named Admiral was money near the basket. He owns us from what I heard about last year. But we could keep up the intensity to the end where they were shot. Great shooting in the 2nd half. Even with Robinson and the big struggling we had enough step up to get a solid win. AND it is nice to hammer UT. They have had our # in basketball (like we had them in football) for awhile. Crazy how Barry missed two FTs in row. I think they jinxed him at the end with the obligatory Barry stories and shots of mom and dad.............

The NLI would remain binding.

None of this matters as players are let out of signed LOI all the time. Several of UK's players Calipari's first year had signed with Memphis but were let out of the LOI to follow him to UK. Heck how did UF get Leon since he signed with LaTech when White was there?

Of course as someone said above, UF has moved on anyway taking the commitment of Okauru.

What was posted is the wording....but there are ways around it from what I understand. It's almost never black and white with college sports
