It is 20 players. How many need visas? Probably only one. Jeebus, I could have done the job in 15 mins, with time for a coffee break or two.

I think looking at it now Mullen and them reached quite a bit with some borderline qualifiers. It sounds like 6 were in danger of not making it when recruited and 3 or even 4 possibly might not make it in at the end and then the California dreaming with Steele who you can't blame him for that I guess but we don't need to be wasting much time with kids out there. He probably saw the media going on about the recruiting and it swayed him some. Well now he gets to claim a # 9 composite class instead of what will end up being about the # 16 class if they were to re-rank things as far as making it to Fall.

It is about a #24 class missing those guys.
Who all did we lose?
It is getting hard to remember.
Steele
Jalon
Wilson
Hammond
Black
Marks
Is that right?
What a disaster.
That leaves us w 9 bluechippers and 9 fillers for the 2019 class.
#20 Arky had 13 & 10
#21 OSU 11& 6
The classes below that had like 6 bluechippers.
This class is now officially worse than Butters worst class.

Its probably about the same as Butters 2nd class. Butters 1st class only had 4 blue chippers and the two 5 stars were underachievers and only one of the 3 stars really overachieved.

I dont count transition classes against anyone.
But the count for 2015 was 7 and 11. 2015 Team Rankings

Would Wilson, Black, Hammond or Marks contributed early? Prolly only Black.
Are these guys gone for this good, or potentially making it back? It seems like a bit of an overreaction if they have good chance to make it in.

It was 4 on the composite but it was a pretty weak class as only Callaway and Scarlett really performed well before they left. Zuniga might have a good year in 2019. He was a composite 3 star.

None will be in. And Reggie Nelson is the only one who went to juco and came back.
I guess I wouldnt be surprised to see Black back in 2-3 years.
this isn't about contributing early. these classes echo three years from now, just as butters garbage recruiting is limiting us last year and this year.
Mullins owns it next year though, and it is going to be ugly.

Them not making it in for Summer B suggests they didn't have a high enough test score to get in most likely. Marks is the only one admitting to that but said he took the test and will have the result in like a week.
The others will not be Gators this year most likely unless they just recently took the test again and are waiting on a passing score hopefully.
The rumor is Hammond is 100% not getting in.

I don't know the specifics of his case, but any visa can take years if it got flagged and went to administrative processing. There is no time limit.

Not an immigration lawyer, but I have dealt with non immigrant exchange visitor J1 visas and dual intent H1B visas for numerous residents and fellows at UF and other schools. F1 student visas are not very different. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, or if you know any specifics.

Youre wrong. Student visas (F1 etc) are handled almost entirely by the international affairs offices through a program called SEVIS. It is basically automated. If his name isnt Osama Bin Ladin, it is a very quick process. If he had an actice ADULT felony warrant, it might changes things, maybe, but he has already cleared this stuff to get here for HS.
It is nothing like getting any other visa.

Why would this kid have no problem with the VISA stuff in high school apparently but have a problem now that its to go to UF? I think he is from the Bahamas but not 100% sure on that.

We wait til 3 days before the deadline to do stuff bc we are UF and we dont do anything specail for football players. Im sure they will get it done about a day before drop add is up, if he doesnt give up and transfer.
Then wait and see how quickly Juco gets it done for him.

SEVIS is the same database that tracks J1 exchange visitor visas which we sponsor for fellows and residents all the time. I agree with you that normal processing does not take long typically, but all visa applications these days are undergoing "extreme vetting" and I have seen delays for renewal or issuing of visa stamps for trainees who have not had a problem at all in the past. All visas can be subject to further administrative processing.
I hope that it is just a delay in filing paper work, but if his social media or record is anything but pristine it could delay things a lot.

It is a totally different process for J1s/Disney visas. We dont REALLY need all those cotton candy vendors or hotel staff much and no one gets in a rush.
School coordinators drive the whole I20 process (wrongfully imo).
He will be in school somewhere else soon and that school will have his visa in days. (He can travel on the receipt number).

What might he post on social media that would be a problem?
I was always amazed at how fast things seemed to straighten out when an experienced immigration attorney became involved. FB players always come up with representation for criminal cases, why not immigration cases?
