UPDATE: QB Malik Zaire officially a Gator

[URGatorBait]

Pretty obvious why some people don't want Zaire to come here

 

[diehardg8r]

I watched him against UVA last year, they were losing until he broke his ankle and the backup came in. He can't help us.

I never said that you said he was nearly as good as Wilson...the only person putting words in somebody's mouth is you. Good grief, you're not very bright are you? And your comparison with Wilson wasn't about their running ability rather it was about their ability to pass the ball. Go back and read your OP where you brought Wilson into the discussion. Try to keep your points and arguments straight. God man, you're hopeless and trying to banter/debate/discuss/argue with you is an effort in futility.

I used Wilson as a comparison since I see them as similar styles. Zaire is a really good runner, but I also think he is a better passer than many are giving him credit for. That's it. I think you're reading too far into the comparison.

Don't know why I'm wasting time arguing over this when all I want is to bring him in for competition. He was splitting reps with a future top round pick at the beginning of the season; I can promise you that Appleby/Del Rio/Harris/Driskel etc would not have sniffed the field.

Keep the hate up bruh

I have a pretty strong bias against ND, I really don't want any rejects from there. That said since I have no influence I will go with whatever coach decides.

Chasing this QB would be Mac with one shoe nailed to the floor, circling, circling. Get to work with our
real Gators. We evaluated them then signed them. Let's go, Franks cannot be that unteachable ??

At least Zaire hasn't thrown an interception in college!

Neither has Trask!

Sounding like Texas is going after Zaire now that Harris went to NC. It may be between us, Texas and Wisconsin from reading some recent articles. The SEC still has to relax the transfer rule for us to be allowed to take him. The one thing that makes me nervous about this is they claim that Sophomore Texas QB got some decent playing time last year and didn't do that bad. That could come into play if he has the option of coming to UF.

Also, I read that Zaire hasn't actually graduated. It is confusing because I also read he was working out in Arizona all semester. Maybe he is doing a computer course or independent study to finish his credits.

So, he MAY not be just waiting on us as I originally thought. There probably are other suitors. Very comforting, actually.

First I heard about the graduation part. The recent post Harris transfers to NC articles mention UF, Texas and Wisconsin. I don't remember seeing any other teams mentioned.

I don't much GAF about Zaire. Once I read that he hadn't graduated therefore wasn't waiting for us necessarily, I definitely have much less concerns. Hell, I doubt Butters could land him even if he wanted to.

I know I am , but for all that is good and holy, no notre dame players. Not now. Not ever. I don't discriminate ... except when it comes to that sanctimonious university.

Is someone playing the Race Card?

A new article posted today.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida's quarterback race could have a new contender after the spring, with the Gators looking to add another arm to the mix via transfer.

Like I've said, there are reasons this is still a story and none of them are good reasons.

Zaire is a previous Music City Bowl champion. Very few get the opportunity to win two of those. Im sure we are attractive to him if Vandy and Voles arent looking for help.

"Yeah, you know, if it happens and we have the spot, we have the number, that’s something definitely that we would do," McElwain said.




Yeah but only if we have a spot ya know. No chance if we give out 10-12 schollies to walkons though.
