Not clear what you think the news is re Black but he is gone and cannot return until after Juco (2 year degree). He isnt back next year, no way no how.

Not sure it would do him any good and might be academic suicide for a guy that has struggled, but he might attempt to accelerate his progress toward a 2yr degree by taking extra classes during fall/spring/summer. You know, some theatre appreciation or basket weaving credits to get done in say four semesters instead of five. He does that successfully, and gets the degree by the end of calendar year 2020, would anything prevent him from transferring in for Spring ball in 2021?

Im only going off of what black said a month or so ago where someone said , see you n a few years.....and his response was that he only needed a semester or two before being able to get in.
He may be going to some college after one semester in juco, but it wont be UF.

The more you know....like I said, Im no expert in this realm and things certainly have changed since graduating almost 20 years ago
LOL, I graduated over 30 years ago! I grew up and went to college in Va. and was very familiar with Fork Union. In the fall of 81 they came and played the JV team at my school. After the game they let them in the dining hall to have dinner, but they had to sit wherever they could find a seat. A group of them, including their QB, sat with me and some buddies. The QB was Vinny Testaverde. One of my buddies was, like Vinny, from Long Island, so he stayed and talked with us for awhile. I had never heard of him at the time, but my buddy had (and told us later we would all know who he was someday - clearly, he was right about that). The two things I recall were that he was a very likeable guy and seemed huge for a QB.

It has nothing to do with Steele lol
Who then? And if someone else is making all his decisions, then I stand by my comment. He can't allow someone else to make all his decisions at this point in his life and have his head on straight.

Edit: I'm a little slow on the uptake today. Didn't realize you meant it;s not Steel in the portal. Sometimes I'm amazed I can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Seems that most worries about this situation revolved around depth at OL and WR in the next couple years.

With the WRs qualifying and Wilson likely joining as well, those fears for the future can be put away regarding those position groups. It sucks they may miss some development in preseason but if the staff can continue coaching guys up in spring and next fall, these dudes will close the gap if they have the talent and be ready when we really need them.

Great news about Black if true. He and Gervon running the show together will be fierce.

Ultimately, if Black arrives next year, we may only lose three from the class. Two to “off field stuff” and one to academics. AR is coming and we’ll also keep our DBU standard up so I’m not sweating JJ or Steele.

Barring any police incidents we seem to have stumbled thru summer about as well as could be hoped considering where things stood two weeks ago. Fingers crossed.

Now let’s get back to recruiting safeties and defensive tackles!!

Well said, Go Gators!

The test scores and grades make a matrix, so if grades are higher, test score can be lower.

The problem with "coming from juco" with respect to UF is you must have a 2 yr degree, w some Florida specific requirements and pass a CLAST test. You cant come back after a year, like some universities allow.
Ouch! I assumed that Black might come back after one year. This opens up the possibility of Black opting for a school that will let him in after a year.

It doesnt matter that they werent playing this year. I agree they werent playing.

Did you ever play football? Camp is where they teach you everything, from techniques to playbook. Missing the fall camp is HUGE.

In March of next year they will be sitting with the new early enrollee true freshman bc that is what they are, kids doing it for the first time.

Edit: okay I see what you're misunderstanding. they can't start practicing until they begin classes, whatever day that is probably August 31st or something. they missed Summer B witches when the football players have to report, at the latest to to practice in August.

Edit again: looks like Aug 20th. so they can start practicing a couple days before the Miami game, which will be install for the game plan, not teach true freshman the basics.

also I forgot to add a bunch of "literallys"... just pretend I did it. I forgot who I was talking to.
Marks will be enrolled July 21st, meaning he can participate in practice. Henderson will be in the same week and enrolled. Both before fall practice begins. Both will be on full scholarships. Both enrolled. Both practicing to the entirety of fall practice. None of which is even remotely close to being a grey shirt. Literally.

Get out of here with that bullshyt. You waited until the entire thing was somewhat resolved and then came storming in with a holier than thou, righteous attitude.

The concerns were very much valid. There was obviously more to the story, but the optics were terrible. That was not just reflected by us. Media outlets were also concerned. Did it all end up working out to some degree? Yes. But this is a fvking message board and this is what we do. We dive into every nuance.

You know that.

This, 100%. The only exception to J's post is "did it all end up working out...?" Well, no, it didn't. We recruited at least 4 guys who either couldn't get in or will really struggle academically, i.e. being substantial transfer risks and underperformance risks throughout their career. Plus, as of now, 20% of the class, Steele, Jones, Wilson, Black and Hammond are not, and still will not, be on campus when football season starts. Then, Henderson, who already committed and decommitted to a number of schools will be here having barely squeaked through high school.




lol cry me a river J. I didn’t wait until the end. Feel free as a mod to go back and see how often I’ve posted about it. Act like a damn adult and stop flailing your arms at the first sign of any adversity. This board is famous for posters constantly ending up covered in shyt for hyperventilating way before any resolution on any matter involving gator sports. It was clear from day one there was work to be done and guess what? It ended up all fine. The day they say then can’t make it would be any normal human beings time to freak out.

So just like being 10-3 and top 10 recruiting class and these kids getting in, it’s really weird how those three things some seemed to be so against until they happen. That’s not being high and mighty. That’s called support until anger is warranted.

Yep, god forbid fans who both read about and write to each other about Gator football "literally" every day during the 8 month off-season (many several times a day), show concern over 5 players not qualifying. And, let's be clear, that is exactly what happened. They were supposed to be here already, yet are not on campus yet because they did not qualify. Now, they have (or so it seems), but we all, including you, know it is late. Acting like that was not a concern after they failed to qualify is just burying your head until you can pop up and yell, "see I told you". 3 of the 5 didn't make it. But, I don't recall any bitching about this issue until they failed during the first windows, of which there were multiple.

Plus, as noted above, there is a much higher risk with these kids, as well as any others with close grade/qualification issues, like Zipperrer.

I guess a 21 point half time deficit is nothing to be concerned with in a game either, until the final whistle blows we should feel and express no emotion. This is just a silly take by you within this context.

All of it stems from me saying they got in, and joking about how Swonkey claimed 5-7 didn’t. That’s it. J blew his wad taking shyt out of proportion yet again and here you are cleaning the mess up.

Dude, the dude with the spew over his face is you, Mr June Commits Are Coming and All the Five Stars Are Secret Gator Commits.

You have smoked the pole of every coach weve had. A decade of four and five loss coaches, youd think, would leave a bad taste in your mouth. And yet, here you are again, all in one Mr. 33-39.

I'm not within 20 years of being a boomer.
:drunk2:
So you're under 35? I highly doubt that.
You do know what the boomer years are right? 1946-1964. So if you were born after 1984, then your statement above is correct. Again, I highly doubt that, but I've been wrong before.

Go ahead and show those comments dude. You run your mouth more than any one here and have never not once backed up what you claim. Go ahead. I think honestly you should be banned until you do finally provide the comments where I said we have secret commitments and we were landing every five star. Because you say it all the time and not once proved it.

You were wrong about 0-8 in conference play. You were wrong about finishing 15-25th in recruiting. You were wrong about our record. You were wrong about “5 to 7 players not qualifying”. You were wrong about not beating ranked teams. You were wrong about not beating teams more talented. You are wrong just about 100% of the time. And I can and have provided the proof of you saying all of it.

Keep arguing because it doesn’t change reality which in every aspect of your life you clearly don’t reside in

the whole 5-7 losses in the class that someone pulled out of thin air narrative.

Yes, which was absolutely true at the time, not out of thin air.

All of it stems from me saying they got in, and joking about how Swonkey claimed 5-7 didn’t. That’s it. J blew his wad taking shyt out of proportion yet again and here you are cleaning the mess up.

You can EABOD. I didn’t blow anything out of proportion. I merely pointed out that your outrage was BS. I nearly posted one thing toward you. Nobody loves to bitch about other posters like you do.

And here you go on trying to bring it to me. If anyone on this board constantly rages on and bitches in a schizophrenic way, it’s you.

What was outrageous about this:

Wilson, Marks, Henderson aren’t playing this year even if they enrolled in January. Literally does not matter. Stop changing the narrative. You said 5-7 didn’t make it. 2 didn’t make it. 2 will be on campus in 2 weeks. They’ll both be there before start of fall camp. And neither are grey shirts. Wtf are you even talking about

In response to him claiming THEY WERE GREY SHIRTING AND MISSING ALL OF FALL.

This is like the third time you’ve come out of nowhere to take something out of context and start something. Not really sure that’s mod material
