Luc does not seem like the type of player who is worried about competition.

You would like to think that about the top players but this is what happened. FSU drilled into him about our depth at LB and how much Bostic has impressed our coaches. FSU's lb depth does not exist.
Look no further than Greg Reid last year for an example.

Looks like it's true. Kind of shocked considering the coaching he will receive at FSU. Let's see... Go play for Kiffin, Chavis or Strong? Nope... I'll go play with Andrews or whoever the DC is when Andrews leaves at the end of the year.

Something tells me that one of the SEC schools will persuade him to decommitt from FSU before signing day.

I agree, I think a lot will play out over the season and he will change his mind before NSD.

If that is true, which I doubt, then let FSU have him.

Come on guys. It was a combination of early playing time, and liking the staff (Gran) and the school. It wasn't just because of one reason.

I really wanted this kid. But for sure glad he's not playing with Bostic and Jenkins. Holy cow that would be one of the best linebacker groups in the country based on pure talent.

This sucks, but we all knew it was going to be hard to get this kid to leave Florida as was. I hope this is true and it holds up to NSD. At least he wouldn't be a gator.

Well know people are saying it's not "confirmed"... I have no clue what the hell is going on.

I'm not convinced, the way he talked was he was going to take his time and enjoy his recruitment. I know that really means nothing but I'm just not convinced

On the bright side, we can still root for him to make life hell on Florida quarterbacks for the next few years.

Yeah, because Riley Cooper and Carl Moore scared him off!

LOL, UF is searching for playmakers and would have given Nuke a shot just like they are with Debose.

Don't fool yourself into thinking Nuke wouldn't have had a shot at PT at UF and that he wasn't turned off by Urban's recruiting tactics.

I'm thinking he means more along the lines of Deonte Thompson, Coop, Moore, BJames, Frankie Hammond, and certainly Andre Debose. There are others too that do not play that position at slot really. I'm not saying he was scared to battle at WR, i'm just saying the depth UF certainly did not help, especially after Debose gave his verbal. He could have loved TN and apparantly he did. He will get a chance to play right away at TN at a big time college and conference. I don't blame him for going. I'm sure CUM told him the same thing as CLK told him "Come in, learn the system, compete for a starting position from day 1." Then you look at the depth and there is less depth (IMO) at TN than there is at UF. So, I understand the decision made by Nuke, it was just funny it happened really late in the game - understandable b/c CLK and staff only had a slim amount of time to recruit. Win some lose some, I'm over it.

The legend of Nu’Keese Richardson growing by the day | Florida Gators sports news, analysis, commentary - Gator Bytes, a PalmBeachPost.com blog

Here is what most Gators honestly think of the keese situation:

The legend of Nu’Keese Richardson growing by the day
by Ben Volin
Until Lane Kiffin stole him away to Tennessee, Nu’Keese Richardson was a relatively unknown four-star receiver prospect out of Pahokee.

But since Richardson defected from Florida to Tennessee on Signing Day, Kiffin and his staff have turned Richardson into the second coming of Red Grange.

Kiffin’s staff took the hype to a different stratosphere on Tuesday, when receivers coach Frank Wilson appeared on a Knoxville sports talk radio show.

Wilson was asked if any player on the roster reminds the staff of Reggie Bush, the Heisman winner who played for Kiffin at USC.

“Yeah,” Wilson said. “Nu’Keese Richardson.”


“That’s exactly what we saw in him, a guy who had big-play ability and can strike at any point on the field.”

Nothing against Richardson, but Reggie Bush? Come on.

All Bush did his senior year in high school was earn a spot on the 2002 Parade All-American (and the top running back), USA Today All-USA first team and a member of the Tom Lemming Super Team. He scored 27 touchdowns …… in eight games. At USC, he won a Heisman Trophy and became the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft.

Richardson, meanwhile, was a stand-out on Pahokee’s state championship team in 2008, but he may have not even been the best player on his team. He accounted for 20 touchdowns this year in 13 games and was named to the Palm Beach Post All Area First Team. But his teammate, running back Vincent Smith, beat him out for Player of the Year, while his other teammate, Brandin Hawthorne, won Defensive Player of the Year. Both are headed to Michigan.

If Richardson had come to Florida, he would have been near the bottom of a stacked depth chart at receiver. He would have had to fight for playing time on special teams, and may have red-shirted his first year. Andre Debose, the five-star athlete out of Sanford-Seminole, is the receiver prospect Urban Meyer simply couldn’t lose, not Richardson.

It isn’t Richardson’s fault that his coaching staff is over-hyping him to the point of absurdity. In fact, it’s probably unfair to Richardson, who somehow has to meet these out-sized expectations.

But it’s all par for the course for Kiffin, a coach who doesn’t let the facts get in the way of a good booster club speech.

First there was the now-infamous Signing Day celebration breakfast, where Kiffin bragged and boasted about stealing Richardson away from the big bad Gators.

And there was the Sports Illustrated profile in the Feb. 16 edition, in which the writer called the losses of Richardson and Marsalis Teague “devastating” to Florida.

(Never mind that half of Kiffin’s quotes and anecdotes from that story have already been exposed as lies, including the part about Kiffin firing a bunch of people within the athletic department).

Don’t be surprised if by next week, Kiffin names a wing of the football complex after Richardson.

:daddy: :tease2:


How has Debose looked so far in practices? (Unbiased answer would be greatly appreciated)

EEEhhh. Good, but def not great. He has had some injuries that have slowed him down a bit so he may not have had a chance to show coaches what he can do at full health. None of the wrs, minus Deonte, have looked great in practice against our defense. Debose is very thin and our defense is very physical.. There will never be another wr as good as Percy so those comparisons are, and have always been imo, very far fetched.

:hi: :gone:
