First player loss after Donovan

[skyflake]

KeVaughn Allen no longer wants to come to UF.

 

[bradgator2]

We didn't want him anyway.

KeVaughn is a stupid name. Give me a Taurean or Joakim or Al anyday. Lee and Corey sound good too.

 

[VulcanAlex]

Well he is signed so his desires are not all that important yet. Let's see who we hire and if they can convince him that UF is still the place for him.

buh-bye

 

[GatorTAG]

If he can't play o-line....

:bye:

 

[NVGator]

See us, Pal.

His coach told the Gainesville sun he's gonna wait to see who gets hired. So all these reports are premature

 

[MidwestChomp]

That would suck. We actually need him with MF2 and Carter gone.

[WobbleGator]

Well I hope he stays with us.

He signed a NLI. He'll have to sit out a year.

Precedence says he won't have to sit out a year. We do need to release him from his LOI, but again, precedence dictates that if the kid wants out we'll let him go. Hopefully he'll like the new hire and reconsider, because as MWC said, we really need him with Carter leaving; and hopefully he will see that as immediate PT opportunity.

I couldn't find it for certain, but I don't think it is up to us. NCAA doesn't administer the LOI.

We have the right to release him from his LOI, after that he can ask the NCAA. But we have allowed players out of their LOI's before for different reasons. I don't know if any were coaching change.

The current Gators vacancy is holding up Allen's departure, though. In order to grant Allen his release, Florida first must hire a coach.
"You can't ask for a release until they bring a new coach in, from my understanding. I'm just going by what I was told, once you get a coach hired, you can formally ask for your release. I don't know if that's true or not, that's just what we were told," Curry said.
So UF needs to release him from his LOI (apparently after we hire a new coach); then he can petition the NCAA to not sit out a year. Again, if this is what Allen wants, he will likely get it.

He is released from the ROI if the school grants it without penality. If the school doesn't agree to release without penalty he looses a year of eligibility.

Can the National Letter of Intent basic penalty be eliminated or reduced?
Yes. The basic penalty may be eliminated by receiving a NLI complete release. If the institution does not grant a complete release from the NLI, you may appeal for release to the NLI Steering Committee in extenuating circumstances.
What are extenuating circumstances?
Extenuating circumstances must be presented in any appeal as grounds for a complete release. The committee determines what constitutes extenuating on a case-by-case basis. However, prior examples include the illness of the student, illness or death of a parent, and financial hardship of the student’s family.
Is an institution required to grant a complete release if I ask for it?
No. If an institution denies your request for a complete release, you may petition the Steering Committee. In order to appeal, you must provide a copy of the NLI Release Request Form, signed by the director of athletics, indicating “No Release.” Once proper documentation has been submitted, the NLI Steering Committee will consider your request. Petitions to the NLI Steering Committee should be sent to the NLI Program, 2201 Richard Arrington, Jr. Blvd. N., Birmingham, Alabama 35203.
