Potential recruit worries brewing at Florida
I post this here only 'cause of the matchup - if it belongs in the "other" forum, I'm sure a mod will move it.
Interesting story in the Miami Herald - it is an article on Lakeland High, a local powerhouse, but it contains this passage:
Quote:
It is this kind of success that has turned Lakeland football players into local celebrities, instantly recognized and constantly praised.
'People come up to you like, `Hey, great game on Friday,' or, 'Great catch,' '' said senior Paul Wilson, a wide receiver who also will play for UF next year. ``You don't know who they are, but they know who you are.''
Then there are the rewards that come with recognition. Rainey said a local clothing vendor recently gave him a bag full of sports jerseys and jewelry in exchange for his autograph. Another time, an elderly woman approached him at a restaurant, gave him a hug and handed him a wad of cash.
''I didn't even count it,'' Rainey said. ``When I walk around, people are buying me food, giving me money. I'm like, damn, I'm glad I'm Chris Rainey. It's real nice to be me.''
|
Rainey is a Florida commit. The story is growing legs - the Tampa Tribune reports:
Quote:
The Florida High School Athletic Association has launched a "full-scale" investigation into Lakeland High's football program because standout running back Chris Rainey said he received money and gifts from local school supporters.
...
Rainey has verbally committed to sign with the University of Florida in February, but if the Herald story is true, he could have a problem with the NCAA.

Here are the links:

Could the Gators be in trouble? Unlikely, but possible. They don't appear to have any connection to this. But when the NCAA starts pulling threads on recruiting investigations, they seem to always find there's more than meets the eye. Kind of like when they looked into violations at a Memphis high school and found about four or five SEC teams that were guilty of something or other.

This story has been covered in our open discussion forum.
I'll merge your post with our existing thread, but please don't rely on Mods to do things like this in the future.
