According to local sports radio, we're not recruiting this guy anymore because of this incident. The administration told Mac he has to pull his offer, is this true?

God half the team has probably already failed a drug test for pot. This Stricklin is an idiot and is going to be a huge problem for us going forward. I guess he'll end up at one of our rivals and kick our a$$ for the next couple years.

Again our admin is trying to be Stanford. Hey FLORIDA if we were in Colorado where its legal would this be an issue? This guy has serious talent, and to not take him bc of weed when weve been sucking for so long on offense is a disgrace especially when you know half the team does it, and when our rivals teams players do it. I mean seriously we keep getting screwed by the admin not letting in guys we need. Two guys got cited on our team for marijuana this year, yet the admin didn't get rid of them or revoke their scholly, so why take one away from a kid that got caught for the same thing? Especially when our offense has been sucking.

It goes beyond that. The kid isn't even a student at UF yet. The incident happened in a different state, and he only received a citation (ticket), I don't believe it even goes on his record as a criminal prosecution because of the law in Ohio. Swonky would probably know more about that than I do. Bottom line is, UF is being ridiculous here. It's weed. In 2017 weed is now legal in more than half the states in the country in one way or another.

Megatron/dez bryant high profile recruit in Florida's backyard (speaking of Robinson).... they dont take him bc of weed. He goes juco then goes to FSU a year later and proceeds to catch a game winning catch over the cb we have who also smokes weed but never got caught

I dont know if its stricklan's fault i think its more of the academic administration side whos creating this. I mean youre right, a lot of the players probably do it, but this guy gets his scholly revoked ahhahahahhahahah now thats some funny stuff.

Yeah really. I guess we're to only recruit players that never make a mistake, go to church on Sunday, and never have any impure thoughts. What complete BS this is, meanwhile our rivals our laughing their a$$es off at what a joke we've become.

I hope the rumors are BS but they appear not to be.

I grew up in the 60's and I know many respectable people who did crazy things in their teens and twenties. I only hope our administrators took the time to talk to the kid and consider that he may already be embarrassed enough, and, perhaps, maybe he salvaged himself and learned an important lesson. In today's culture, humiliating him further will only alienate other kids.

I think this may signal to a rift between Mac and the administration. In the past he has said a couple different times that he needed the proper support from the administration, we're always getting outbid for assistant coaches, now they don't let this kid come for this minor offense. The writing may be on the wall for Mac, but if this is how the administration is going to act going forward, then I have no faith that we'll ever be elite again. SMH
