UPDATE 2:22pm: I just spoke with my source regarding Cece Jefferson. He did indeed hold off on faxing in his signed LOI to UF due to his lack of total certainty about the UF DL coach position. He did, after all, cite Terrell Williams as a reason for why he chose UF in his official announcement on Wednesday. But the time he spent holding off on faxing the LOI was merely spent doing research on Chris Rumph; googling him, asking friends/former players of Rumph about him, and talking with his mother about him. This is what my source told me:
-A little while ago, he completed his little investigation on Rumph, and was possibly even more excited about playing for Rumph than he was about playing for Williams. He was absolutely giddy about his track record at three premiere schools.
-The source also reiterated that Cece did in fact commit to UF, and not a certain coach. He said that Cece understands that anything can happen with the current coaching staff, up to and including “the possibility that McElwain punches a fan in week three of the 2015 season, gets fired, Jeremy (Foley) hires a new head coach and the new head coach hires an entirely new staff.†In that specific (farfetched) scenario, the source tells me, Cece would remain 100% committed to Florida.
-Cece’s mother is 100% on board with her son being a Gator.
