@GAllanTaylor: #Gators reserve CB Elijah Blades is no longer with the team, per a source. He wasn't dressed Saturday against Vanderbilt. The grad transfer from Texas A&M enrolled in August and appeared in three games.

When he was still in his 20s, yes.

Amazing CEO work.

Very surprised Blades would transfer schools.

I'm just trying to keep keep up here but he committed to you eight different schools and has attended four?

No chance he will be on the field and will likely be transferring again in the spring.

Donk "trasking" him. I think that he has been on the field.

No, but I do call it being "on the field". As I remember it, Trask, himself, was never going to be allowed to hold a clipboard.

But, but, but I thought winning the transfer portal was just as important and meaningful as winning in recruiting?

What happened?

Honestly, I don't think even the most loyal, optimistic Mullen fans here called this anything more than a "sure, I guess we'll take you" transfer. Maybe I'm wrong but it always seemed kind of a hohum, one year scenario at best.

The bigger issue here is the fact that within days or weeks we'll be seeing him all over Twitter, doing a final four, taking visits, posing with coaches pleading for his transfer, and obviously no one in his life helping him learn any accountability or commitment. The whole thing is such a disservice to these young men and their future. Pretty sure he has like a 5 year old kid, and he's bouncing all around the country, playing games without an ounce of responsibility. Disaster.
