Ok, I think we all agree that Larry knows his stuff. And here is the link to yesterday where he did say that they are printing stuff off message boards. To be honest, that surprised the heck out of me. But with that said, I personally will refrain from posting any more negative material about recruits until they have signed their LOI somewhere.

Here is the link to the discussion that we had last Sunday on Damien Jacobs. I watched his tape and wasn't that impressed. If he was coming out of high school, I would have said that we should take him. As a JUCO, I feel that you should be able to start from Day 1. In his case, maybe he could / maybe he couldn't. I still feel the exact same way I did on Sunday. Damien is a good player. But we have a very full class. I think he was right on the fence. If we end up with McCullers, Mike Davis and Damien Williams as our final three, then we made a smart move in passing on Jacobs. The other extreme, if we end up with three 2*'s from Farragut, then we should have signed Jacobs. I think we all know that we will end up somewhere in the middle.
Bottom line, we did start to push away from Damien Jacons last Sunday. Perhaps the Florida office people copied that, and funneled it to him thru the coaches and that was the deciding factor. I still have a really hard time believing that, but since Larry posted it, I agree that we need to knock it off in the future.
I am glad that we have reached a point in recruiting that Florida is signing our borderline type recruits. That is a very good sign!
For those who want a link, here is the Sunday discussion. My fault...golfballs and I caused Damien Jacobs to go to Florida. lol
