Florida loses two recruits after they visit and the world is ending. Give me a break with Florida lost two commits after a visit. The only reason they lost Powell is because Florida had signed two many LB's and he couldn't hang. Robinson left becuase he clearly doesn't know what he wants to do. Last I checked Florida has landed plenty of top prospects this year that have visitied this awesome University. Just wanted to get that off my chest! Come one down Will Grier!
Right on. Noticed that Powell was the lightest of the LBers. Probably saw some of his competition. Roberson is about 17, so easily swayed or even told what to do.

Powell still likes the Gators. He's just open about his current indecisiveness. He's a nice kid, a fine athlete and might still end up being a Gator. He knows that he risks losing his place, but he hasn't completely given it up. As far as his size, we've had two highly productive multi-year starters in recent years who came in at or under 200 pounds. Shoot, Jenkins gained 30 pounds during his redshirt year alone and he's two inches shorter than Powell.
Have no idea what's going on with Robinson, except he's in a tight squeeze trying to make the best decision in time for early enrollment. Could be some family interference. Would love to have him, especially since he'll be available for spring. If we miss, well we only had him for two or three days anyway.
Still hoping against hope that Coley has been getting some first class tutoring and our coaches have quietly remained in his corner. IMHO, even coming in for Summer B, I think he'll be further along than any freshman WR. This kid came out of the womb running a curl route.
Forgot that this was a Will Grier thread. Apologies for taking part in the hijack. My thoughts on Will; if it's down to NC, NC State, Tenn and UF, it's a breakaway slam dunk for the Gators. Let's see how long he remains the #6 pro-style QB and 78th best prospect. The Guinness Book of World Records is probably working on an entry for him. Let's see how long it takes for other stellar class of '14 prospects to start lining up. I'm thinking maybe Thursday.

Add Mike Peterson to the list too. Went to a 190 something LBer when he committed, to a very good Gator, and has had a long career in the NFL.

This would be huge if he is all Gator. Having a big time qb in a class is huge. Especially this soon. His commitment is good for two big time receivers.

TIM SLAPS GENO 5 BEFORE HEADING TO THE ENDZONE!
Grier has been saying for awhile we lead, and didnt make his trip to UNC who was considered the #2 team..hopefully all this leads to a commitment for us. He would be a huge get to start the ball rolling for next year. He is wildly popular with other recruits from everything I have seen at combines and 7 on 7s.
And you're the one that wanted thread integrity like those on other sites?
Or my sarcasm meter is not working today.
I do want thread integrity. When Will commits there will be 3 threads that pop up. Also if we just use this thread the OP is about something totally not related to Will's commitment and does not show his highlights & Stars.

Quote:
Grier will graduate from Davidson Day in December 2013 and enroll at Florida in January 2014, allowing to participate in off-season workouts prior to the start of the 2014 season.
"Will is blessed to have this opportunity and feels so strongly about it that he is ready to commit now so he can focus on his schoolwork, improving his game and helping his team prepare for a third consecutive state championship next year," Grier's father and coach, Chad said. "He has been humbled by the amount of attention he has received from colleges across the country and is very appreciative of the relationships he has established with several coaches. Will is a fierce competitor and he is excited about the opportunity to help Florida win national championships."
Chad Grier said his son's relationship with the Florida coaching staff was a large part of the decision.
"Will is extremely comfortable with (head) coach (Will) Muschamp and (assistant) coach (Brent) Pease, both of whom made him feel as if he will be a big part of the Gators future," Chad Grier said. "(Will) has had great visits to Florida and has been most impressed by the academic reputation, the strength and conditioning staff, the culture of the program, the level of competition both within the program and within the SEC, and the projected 2013 recruiting class. I spoke with Coach Muschamp and Coach Pease yesterday and I am very proud that Will is going to play for men who care about him as a young man and who believe in him as a player."
