Default What is the deal with Matt Elam?

I see he is going to take more visits and we are trying to get Tony Jefferson in for a visit. Is Matt giving us reason for concern again?

I would say that 85% is pretty solid ! On a side note this blog proves Kiffin is a liar because he hasnt driven over the cliff yet !

Seems as solid to UF as can be expected from an honest player.

I was reading on a site someone posted for the new uni's, there was a blog that said Elam's facebook page said he was going to UF and was having fun playing with everyone or something like that. Basically, he's telling people one thing about visits and being only 85% but he's really solid for UF. I don't think there's anything to worry about but then again I've read some people's posts who would think otherwise.

Some of those other people do not know what is going on even if you hit them in the face with it.

He is 100 percent, just wants to take some visits and enjoy the attention. He is a stud and will be one for us.

Those were probably the same people who were saying that Nukeese Richardson was wavering before signing day even though Nukeese said he was solid Gators.. These are 17 and 18 yo kids. They change their minds on a whim. Anyone who thinks a kid who can only call himself 85% committed (oxymoron) 3 months before signing day is "solid" is looking through orange and blue glasses. This guy could easily end up at Tennessee. He may have already committed to Tennessee. Who knows? Im sure Kiffin would tell him to keep it a secret just like he told Nukeese to keep his Tennessee visit a secret.

That being said, I do think he will end up at Florida. But anybody who is confident in that is just being a homer.

^yep... IMO, noone is 100% till they sign. I don't care if they move to Gainesville and wear a "I'm a gator lock" t-shirt everyday. Recruiting is a dirty game.

But what do I know. I've only been following this stuff since '91.

Still....how much love are you going to get on a visit if you tell them, "I'm 100% Gator, there is no way you can get me to switch." They'll hand you a cookie and let you wait in a corner while they woo the guys they think they can get.

It's kind of like your girlfriend going to the club with her friends without you. She's going to dress a little slutty to get the guys to oggle. No biggie.
