Takes it from a D- to an F+.
How does this change the recruiting class grade?
If the kid is "rated" highly enough you take a chance on him and hope he isn't soft, flaky, whatever or if he is you can work him thru it. If it doesn't work out you get flamed on a message board but who really cares. If you can control him maybe you get a Percy or Hernandez. Worth the risk even if some message board experts are losing their minds.I think we’re all just ready and way past due for a run of nothing really freaking weird happening. This weirdness started McElwain’s last year when half the team got suspended for the credit card issues. Then Mullen’s first offseason, we get the Jones/Steele saga. Even during this past season we had the curious case of Chris Bleich, freshman guard who UF had devoted a lot of time developing, his best years clearly ahead of him, even if he sucked at the moment, transferring midseason after starting about every game while the team is still contending for the SECe. And now we have a guy transfer, get this, during quarantining at home. He’s the opposite of homesick. Weird, makes zero sense. Yeah, maybe the guy has depression or bipolar issues, if so, that wasn’t detected during the recruiting process?
Maybe there’s more to this, I’ve seen the rumors of Stewart Reese from Miss State transferring in, but nothing official. Maybe that news turned Walker off? Maybe Walker was slacking off on his quarantine workouts and was receiving tough love from the coaches? Again, it seems that softness would have been detected in recruiting.
Yeah, that sucks. Not thrilled with hev's recruiting, but it's hard to pin this on him. I hope the kid gets himself together, but he's Gator bait...

Just my opinion though
Issiah Walker talks on Instagram live after entering transfer portal
Issiah Walker talks on Instagram live after entering transfer portal
Gators offensive lineman Issiah Walker and his friend Mike went live on Instagram this evening, after entering the NCAA transfer portal yesterday. Naturally, Walker began getting questioned about his decision to transfer.
"[There is] a lot of things going on with that, but I appreciate the people supporting me through it, too," Walker said at one point during the live stream.
Walker answered almost every question regarding the news that he had entered the transfer portal with "no comment on that", while Mike was noting that Walker's reasons to transfer are "personal".
Several viewers asked Walker if the transfer had to do with head coach Dan Mullen or offensive line coach John Hevesy. At first, Walker remained silent. He was then asked specifically if his transfer specifically had to do with Mullen, Walker said "no comment." That was followed with the same question regarding Hevesy, to which Walker remained silent.
Walker wouldn't comment on if he'd consider pulling out of the transfer portal and stay at Florida. He began to laugh when people began asking if he'd transfer to Miami or FSU.
He went on to talk about how many messages he had received since the news broke, which he says he didn't expect. Walker followed that up with "We'll see this week, that's all I have to say at this point."
Walker entered the transfer portal on Monday. We broke down what that news means for the Gators in the story below.
F is for Fvkking Cowbell.
How could it be Mullen or Hevesy? He got here in January and went in to quarantine in March. He's probably only been able to deal with Savage for the most part. Maybe he just can't handle the quarantine away from his family? Idk.
