Depends on the terms to which he decommitted. If it was only because he was mislead by Nebraska into believing he could qualify there, then if he gets his grades up, it is possible.Reading what he put out on twitter...
I have to say if he can qualify after a year or two in JUCO; he will be a gator IMO

Some items in the article that jumped out at me:
- Elijah Blades, a 4-star cornerback in the 2017 class, will not be reporting to Nebraska
- Blades has not reported to Nebraska this summer due to academic-eligibility issues
- Blades told HuskersOnline he doubted he would really fit at Nebraska
- 247sports rated Blades the No. 3 corner in the 2017 class
It sucks to be Nebraska.
- Nebraska’s 2017 recruiting class now no longer has any corners

If he had academic issues at Nebraska would he not have the same at UF?

I'm just not sure he gets his grades up, even if he was close. He was close for Nebraska, could be wrong but I am pretty sure we have higher standards.
The Florida Gators football brand is ****. Spurrier spent over a decade building the brand. Flashy, swag, fast, innovative...
Ever since Tebow got his ass whipped by Saban in the SEC championship, the admin been trying to convert Florida football into that slow, overpowering, machine like Alabama football program. We sold our freaking souls. We have a fake identity. We are frauds and high school coaches and recruits can see right through it.
If I was the new AD... I'd fire Mac right now... Throw 8 mil at chip Kelly. Disassociate the program from anything Alabama.
Alabama is our enemy, not our daddy.
We need a fresh start. New blood. Exactly what Urban brought to the program. Mac gotta go.
Sorry for the rant.
I just don't expect this kid to ever play for us.I mean it's not like it's hard to do well at a JUCO. If he graduates JUCO, hell that takes part of the admission requirements away.

Who, if anyone, is advising these guys?
YEAH.... I did what my Dad said or risk his busting my ass!!! That's the real problem... not enough parental supervision and/or discipline and far too many kiddos being raised with no Father figure.To be fair, when you were 17-18 years old, did you listen to anyone's advice?
He has kids?Just incredible. You know what is expected of you since your early HS years. You've garnered enough attention to be 3-4 years away from a life changing career. And instead of getting it at least to the point of being able to qualify, you decide to have multiple kids at 17 and spend your time tweeting every thought that comes to mind. Who, if anyone, is advising these guys?
