Diwun Black WILL be attending UF....by his 30th birthday

You forgot to add the rest of your normal response: a div 2 team and a Michigan team with none of its good players!

Poor kid. Gotta be humiliating to him. Hope he can eventually make it in. Seems like he was doing all he could to get in.

I get it, but did you read that tweet? He’s gonna struggle in CC.

How can you not admire this man? I would love to have him at UF, but I wish him the best wherever he winds up.

Why are you being insufferable?

Wasn't Zip supposed to be having academic eligibility concerns as well?

Rumor was Zip, but I've heard Summerall was the one with issues. Supposedly he can fix it with a decent test score

Beating fsu carried alot of weight with me. I was very thankful for that one.

This is the point that we should pull a Mickey Andrew's. This was told to me by an employee at our local school board.
Letroi Gion (former viking) failed the Florida minimum standards test required for graduation and was all set to enroll in fsu except for failing the test. So Andrews burst into the superintendent office screaming and foaming at the mouth saying the kid was dyslexic and the school board was about to be sued by a team of lawyers. The super said he didn't know he was dyslexic (we wasn't) and what can they do about it now, to which Andrew's produced a letter for him to sign and the kid was enrolled. This is a hard story to believe, but knowing Andrews and our small county I don't doubt it one bit.

F vck it, I've got to blame somebody. Why was he allowed to play basketball.
He help them win a title, they should have helped him get in. This hurts. For the kid and for gator nation.

Well I wondered what he was doing going to All Star games too. It seems he thought he could catch it all up in one semester when he really needed at least two.

Sometimes having high standards, hurts.

In fairness, I was just ****ing around... I don’t believe in “vibes” from Internet warriors...

If people are going to be hating on Mullen, I don't think it's time yet. He's exceeded expectations since he got here. I don't understand some of it, not at this point.

Guion is from Coach's Mayberry area so maybe he can add some info to that story.....

Not in recruiting, and that was a low bar

Like I said before, if the kid only has to go for 9 months or whatever it’s as good as a redshirt. Tell him to work out privately. Diwun is like 170lb with no muscle so he wasn’t playing this year anyways. But he sure as hell is a talent that we need to bring back.

Without Steele, jones, and Black our class still finished 5 spots ahead of FSU and above Ohio State and Notre Dame
