You got yourself a good pick up there Geaux. He is a talented kid. I hope everything works out grade wise, and that he gets to participate in our yearly blood fest on the field.

Third, and I can not answer this, there is no way that UF lets an EE come in with a 6 point ACT jump when the kid in question fails his fcat (Florida h.s. required graduation test) and then jumps from a 16 percentile to a 65 percentile on a test he suddently takes away from home.

I am sorry, but if you believe that we'd go around in public chuckling about torpedoing some high school kid then we'd be dumb enough to not suceed in recruting at all. We do well. Urban is liked. Assuming he is ***** enough, he is not dumb enough.

You gave an excellent response, gatorubet, but every year there just always seems to be something shady going on with Urban, and that makes me wonder about him.
