UF closes the gap on 5 star DE Shavar Manuel

"Scrubs" is comedy gold. I hope you're just being facetious. If you are, you've got some comic gold of your own going on.

And if you aren't, then something tells me you wouldn't have a problem with this one:

I find your animated gif offensive on a personal level...

I'm thinking an avatar like 'Seka' probably wouldn't be too worried about a Scrubs gif:

If you haven't looked into IMG Academy, it's interesting to do so. I especially recommend checking out the interactive map and the photos of their football locker room.

No wonder they don't want to step down to UF.

Who wouldn't want to play for the "best defensive mind in the game" (same defensive mind which gave up a gazillion yards to alabumble).

Think he'll want to go play the same position as Holland and Cowart? Maybe Chimp will come up with a 3 buck scheme.

 

[Seka]

For your sake I sincerely hope you are kidding. That .gif has been around the block several times and is nothing new and certainly nothing to be considered offensive. If it is then this may not be the place for you.

I was pulling LongTooth middle leg.

I was.

Now, that's more like it!

Why do folks question my sarcasm? I don't post often but by now my smart-a$$ style should be evident. BTW, don't understand the Seka questions? As I noted early in my membership, coach Seka was a mentor, when I was a military brat during the late 50's when dad was stationed in Germany.

Did you checkout the tuition for boarding vs day only attendance? Top notch all the way. Impressive.

I hadn't, but I knew it would be high. Still, for a high school football student athlete, tuition is:
Day (only) - $56,100
Boarding - $70,800

That's a lot of money. ...and can you imagine paying $54,000 / $68,800 for a middle school student?

I wonder how a prospective student athlete receives the title "deserving"? I am assuming anyone (sports agents) is (are) allowed to contribute to the Foundation?

I'm sure they are all on scholarships.

I would be interesting to know how many Squaws are actually providing those scholarships and what happens once a prized recruit decides he isn't going to Squaw U.

Duly noted - must have missed the memo.

Standing down. Carry on and please post more. Sarcasm is my second language.

No problem... at the end of the day, we are all GATORS!

Exactly what I was thinking as well. Semenholes may be providing schoolys but how does IMG Acadamy make money? Per wikipedia, the acadamy is part of IMG (originally known as the International Management Group).

BTW, don't understand the Seka questions?

Most people around here have never been to Germany. The only Seka we've ever heard of is the Adult actress from the 1970s. That's why you keep seeing the "Seka" references.

I remember a real slugging boxer named Omar Seka. ??

Well it's still a relatively new school and program that had Chris Weinke as their head coach. He is no longer there so that certainly helps us. We have an IMG kid committed already this year. 3* S Spencer Perry

FYI: Perry decommitted about a month or two ago.

Are y'all serious about not knowing IMG?

They have a major contract with UF for a number of years as part of the IMG network. IMG is the most famous sports marketing company out there. It was founded by Mark McCormick who signed Palmer, Nicklaus and Player, originally, golf marketing. It's since grown globally and have their mark on all major sports.

They've had their academy in FL for a few years but mostly housing and developing golf and tennis proteges. The all-in in HS football has been in the last 4-5 years of development.

My post was from May when he was still committed
