Yes, posted that above. This thread is being updated constantly.

Elam passed and was ready to enroll in the spring. He qualified academically but has decided to stay because of the entire situation with Meyer and feeling betrayed. There is nothing to assume or speculate about in regard to his grades or eligibility – he was ready to go.

So just read that Elam is staying through Spring because of all of this and wont enroll early? Glad to see he has started his bullshitting early in his career and is using Meyer as his scapegoat.

Lets be real, he failed to qualify for early graduation and his HS is forcing him to stay through Spring. Because of his academics, he won’t be able to enroll early but saw this as a nice window of opportunity. Guessing he though he could blame it on Meyer and everyone would be none the wiser? This kid is really starting to piss me off!

Sure, I’ll explain. When a blog post is long or the writer decides to only show a certain portion of it on the front page, he/she will often tell you to read the rest “after the jump.” The “jump” refers to clicking the link to “jump” to the remainder of the article. Often times, an advertisement or other information may be between the first portion and the rest, implying that you would “jump over” that material.

maybe I’m missing something obvious, but what does “after the jump” mean?
“Because the list is so long, it is best to view it after the jump!!!”
I’ve seen it in a few articles, and still don’t understand.

Nice to get info. on them though. I bet it’s hard for Meyer, after working so hard (and, apparently, putting his health at risk) to get these guys to commit, to now have them wavering in their decisions… But the players have to think about what’s best for their careers. Meyer is an amazing coach. If he isn’t going to be there, or won’t be up to what he’s been doing in the past, they have to think about what effect that will have on their college career and potential NFL career.

Meyer rethinking decision?

I agree with Thomas. We don’t need to make a snap decision on our new HC just to salvage a recruiting class but we can salvage a large portion of this recruiting class if the right coach is hired in a timely manor.

We need to hire for the long term … not this recruiting class. We made that mistake with the Zook hire. We worried about losing Leak … instead we lost a lot of games.

If we can hire someone who can keep the recruits AND be the best fit for our program, fine. Otherwise, I’d rather take a hit this year than over the next 3.

Most of the committed recruits will probably sign as long as a replacement(like Mullen) is named soon. The problem lies with non-committed recruits which were considering Florida, such as the California guys. They may go elsewhere. Meyer needs to play a significant role if he intends to remain at UF in some capacity. Get on the phone Urban!

Your are the man, I love your pieces… You are keeping my calm and collected in this depressing time. I would love to keep getting updates about the recruits commitments related to Urban leaving and the new Head Coach.
