I don't think Florida would tell a 5 star, top 10 talent that there is no room for him.

They already have once.

Clearly they saw their mistake

your point?

That Florida would tell a 5 star, top 10 talent that there is no room for him. Since they already have once.

I'm not sure if many recruits outside of the northwest know about his. It was briefly mentioned in a blog on espn (In which no names were even mentioned, just that a robbery had taken place "possibly" invloving UO football players) otherwis, it hasn't been reported by anyone else so I actually question if this Masoli incident is having much bearing with out-of-state recruits.

Recruiting is not a friendly game, I am pretty sure that our competition be it through assistants or recruits friends have found a way to spread the rumor maybe even embellish it.

Actually, I would bet that many coaches are avoiding the topic unless the recruit brings it up. If they use it against Oregon and the alligations turn out to be false, they would be guilty of defemation of character and slander

Really? I didn't know he was a 5 star recruit considered to have top 10 talent at the time that they turned him down. I swear he was rated much lower

The problem w/ this logic is that it's assuming that the Florida coaches, or any coaches for that matter are using Rivals/ESPN/etc.'s rankings for these kids.

While I know for a fact that programs use these sites for some things, I can tell you that any program worth a damn uses their own eyes and information to rank these kids.

While I will say that it's hard to believe they wouldn't take Easley, especially from what we've seen him be able to do, it's certainly possible that they believe that the other guys that they have are better, even if Scout, etc. may not have them ranked as high.

I'll admit it's far fetched, but to use something like rivals' or ESPN's rankings to gain any idea of what the Florida coaching staff is thinking CAN BE a mistake.

Haha honestly I don't even know who the "he" in question is. I don't know what Florida has done in the past. I just was answering the "your point? question since it seemed pretty obvious to me what Zyme was trying to say. Not saying Zyme is right or not.

Ah, I see. The he in question is Easley, but Glazeduck is right nd raises a good point. Recruiting services are helpful tools for coaches, but they certainly aren't, and shouldn't be, how the coaches make their decisions when deciding who to recruit.

So i hve been corrected in my ways and now see how Florida could pull the offer, though I still feel it highly unlikely.

I'd say VERY unlikely... Doesn't mean we can't hope like hell though!

For some reason I had a gut feeling Easley wasn't done with Oregon when he announced Florida. I thought maybe the shock of Florida actaully offering IN ONE DAY would ware off a little and he'd see the picture that they'd only offered him because he had one good (well amazing) week of practices. I'll probably be wrong, like everything else in recruiting, but I just had this feeling.

[PDXShogun]

considering how close they were, I didn't think the coaching staff would give up on him until signing day; but considering he's had his heart set on a Florida offer from day 1, any change of heart would be pretty shocking, and it's even more doubtful that Florida would pull his offer this close to signing day.

Get Ksmack on the case!

Really seems like message board fodder to me. Similar to 90% of everything else we've been hearing lately.

I would tend to agree that this is just message board fodder BUT the Easley situation is a little different. Meyer had to be convinced by other recruits too give Easley the offer so its not like he was topping their wish list. I still don't see it happening but given the circumstances, I also wouldn't surprised if Florida ended up pulling his offer.

Ummmm..that they already did what you are saying that you "don't think" they would do. Not only did they, but they did it to this very player earlier in the recruiting process.

Point enough?

[ksmack]

Easley will stay at Florida...per my source his girlfriend and talking to Easley...he is finding a place in Florida... and he his getting to know the other recruits at Florida...for him to switch would be a surprise..my man right now is in Florida looking to add more Tats. he is set on Florida and his highly excited about playing for Florida, Not Coming to Oregon. he is stayling close by his girlfriend right now and playing for his favorite school of choice!
