| They're both far away. I think UF is just trying to justifying us outrecruiting them. Just saying, when you're already that far away from home, does it really matter? | |

He also stated that he wants to play bball in college so that may also play a factor at some point.
Distance plays a factor in recruiting many times. UT is within 3-4 hours of his hometown while UF is over 10 hours. No matter what you believe I'm sure UT is also using the distance pitch.

So distance being a factor is a very plausible reason to me.
350 vs 860 miles

| He gave an interview at Nike Camp and said UT and Wisconsin are recruiting him the hardest, "SEC is the best conference in the world" and he wants to decide by end of the summer. http://tennessee.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1362610 | |
