It is a terrible recruiting pitch to promise kids playing time, just promise them they will see the field if they are the best player, but this staff in this last class did not do that. There is even talk down in Pahokee where UT is not well liked that they don't want there kids going there and this certainly won't help.

Also there is another rumor swirling that Teague is also not happy with his playing time and what he was promise when he switched his commitment. This is coming from a mod for a Gator site with excellent connections so I believe there has to be at least some truth to it.

On Dunkley, it seems like he really enjoys the whole recruiting process and like a typical WR just wants to be loved and get attention. He was always taking the trip to Bama this weekend so I don't see why that's news to anyone. I would be surprised if he didn't end up at UF.

On to Luc now. This kid might know how to play the recruiting game better then anyone. I think there have been rumors now that he has silently committed to at least 3 different schools now after visiting them. I believe this one is going to go down in early december if he enrolls early. He will make his decision after the UF FSU game in my opinion. It is going to come down to UF or UT and I would be shocked if it wasn't one of those 2 schools. UT has the lead now but if we get him to come for the FSU game, then we have a shot. If not, then I presume it's over and for sure he's going to UT. His timing of his announcement is all predicated on him enrolling early.
And at which recruiting visit, or phone call, or email, or other communication with the coaches were you present and heard this first hand? Or was it another "well connected" buddy. People on this board, and especially Gaytors have been wrong on everything from recruiting to uniforms more times than I care to remember. Stop spewing your drivel as fact and go hang out with the rest of your lizard buddies. Funny how all the negative rumors about ex-florida commits start from UF trolls. Worry about your own team and that excellent eye gouge technique they've been teaching down there. (In my best Gaytor troll expert/authoritative voice) The problem with eye gouging is that you could BLIND somebody. You UF guys are a giant stinking pile of Dbaggery.

Well if you have seen us play, you should know the rumor is BS. He's getting his time.

Our coaches never have promised playing time. They've only offered the opportunity to compete for it. In fact, they give freshmen first shot to secure playing time once summer workouts/practices/scrimages begin because they feel the upperclassmen have already had that opportunity to show their skills in the spring.

Furthermore, the Pahokee coach and Nuke's aunt reportedly implored Nuke to stay, be patient, and work hard saying "this is where you need to be"

C'mon, do you honestly believe Teague's not happy here? He was our leading receiver in a game or two. Had a pair of touchdowns in one game. None of our WRs are exactly blowing up the stat book. Gerald Jones only has 3 TDs.

Inaccurate on both of these counts. No credible coach promises playing time to an incoming freshman. They may strongly suggest it, but promise - no .

For Luc re: playing "the recruiting game" Rivals Radio has been reporting for several weeks he is sick of the process and wants it over with. Why would Jeff Luc have to play a "recruiting game"? He could go anywhere he wanted to with a phone call and he does not appear to be someone who is flashy or wants attention.

I spoke with Teague's aunt last Friday and we talked about how well he was doing, she never mentioned a thing about him being unhappy.

Ok I guess I did not make this clear enough, I am only reporting what I hear from sources and from things I read. I do not have the same opinion. I believe Teague has played plenty so far. Also I don't think Lane needs to promise playing time. However, the people I talk to as well as things I read do not agree with my opinion. Why do you have such hate for me simply posting a rumor? This is a message board where info is exchanged between fans and people share different things that they are hearing. I have posted on here plenty of times of things I have heard both positive and negative towards UT. Take off your orange and white glasses for a second and just realize that there are rumors out there whether you want to acknowledge them or not.

I could've sworn Kiffin said all over the media that there were no starters, except EB, and everyone would have to compete for PT and a starting position.

That is not what I meant by the recruiting game. I should have been more exact. I meant that he knows how to word his answers to make it sound like he loves every school he visits and virtually says identical things about every one of them. The fact is he doesn't want attention or is flashy so he keeps his cards close to the vest and doesn't give tons of interviews or weekly recruiting updates like some prospects do. That is what I meant by the recruiting game sorry for the confusion.

Where is all this Nuke lack of PT coming from? He's been getting quality minutes all season long both at WR and on special teams...?

It has nothing to do with the color of my classes. Its just very very annoying to have to wade through the dozens of ridiculous and that's Ridiculous with a capital R posts from you UF guys trolling around our site. Rumors are one thing but the ever present....UF has 49 silent commits....UT's best players want out....Lane Kiffin made suggestive comments to a recruits mother...Ed Orgeron is a terrorist and so on and so on posts made by slimy, eye gouging excuse machines, are very nearly an abuse your ability to type. You know that no one here is going to believe that Teague is unhappy or that kiffin promised a recruit anything and you dont believe it yourself, yet here you are, talking as if its true. Just STOP.
