It'll be up to Brown to start a good fitness regime. It's not like he can;t get advice from UF trainers now.

ETGator1 · 01-10-2013, 09:27 AM

Sorry to mislead, but I was wrong twice. It's not 6 or 4, UF can take 5 more players if we don't have any further attrition between now and NSD.

With 7 EEs, UF can take up to 32. When Nick A. left, UF went up from 30 to 31 that can be signed without going over 85. We have 26 accounted for so UF can take 5 players up to 31 without going over 85.

This gets a bit confusing keeping the 25+7=32 separated from 31+54=85.

Again, sorry to mislead. I hope this clears it up.

This is a bummer for Trenton Brown. If he doesn't report to fall camp in great shape, I wonder if the staff will consider redshirting him.

GATORAZ · 01-10-2013, 09:55 AM

I bet the staff is pissed they would have not signed him if they knew he was not going to make it until summer.

your_perfect_enemy · 01-10-2013, 09:58 AM

Not that I'm worried about him doing so but if I read zach's article correctly, he's already signed so if he can't change his mind about going to UF over the next few months, correct?

gymgator · 01-10-2013, 10:01 AM

Not sure about that, as he can be in some kind of shape over the Spring and get in shape Summer B, just like the rest of the Freshman. His playing time might be limited until Oct, as DJ, Tyler, Chaz and maybe Trip Thurman get it together over the Spring and Summer workouts. We will be using the 6 OL and double TE sets, so we will need a lot of OTs.

Yup, at least he can't and do it on scholarship. Unless we gave him an official release.

Bladerunner · 01-10-2013, 10:10 AM

So we have a guy enrolling early in Matt Rolin who will probably redshirt because of surgery but the OL we need doesn't get in till 6 months from now. That stinks.

larrycooke · 01-10-2013, 10:17 AM

Does this mean that Brown did not pass the credits he thought he would and thus is 2 credits short?

ETGator1 · 01-10-2013, 10:25 AM

Zach didn't say. It was said by Trenton that he finished 2 credits short of coming to UF as an EE. I hope it isn't the SEC required math course rearing its ugly head again.

FWIW, in the same article Rolin claims he's going to be ready to play

http://www.gatorsports.com/article/2...p=all&tc=pgall

Rolin is recovering from surgery on the torn ACL he suffered in November, but he plans to play next season.

“I don't think redshirting is necessary unless my knee is not 100 percent,” Rolin said. “The doctor told me I should be back around fall camp.”

Not that it makes it a given and to your larger point won't really benefit him as much from being an EE as a healthy player

That is disappointing about brown. Hell have to put in the work himself if he wants a spot in the rotation. Does hurt that we essentially miss out on possibly recruiting one more player. Oh well. Most important early additions were taylor and robinson anyways.

rserina · 01-10-2013, 11:07 AM

I am less concerned about it for Brown than others. We have Green back, Humphries needs the reps, and both Garcia and Moore will be on the roster. In 2014, I suspect one or more tackles ends up at guard, so Brown will be in the mix then, but for now he is mainly around for depth reasons.

The bigger issue would be the ramifications for signing an extra player in this class or the next, but it won't kill us. More annoying than anything.

He will get summer/ fall practice and get I the rotation on a few plays in the jumbo set no matter what within the first few games

Tebowism0823 · 01-10-2013, 12:04 PM

The staff would've taken his commitment regardless. They wanted Brown.

cpfro3 · 01-10-2013, 03:25 PM

Mike Farrell ‏@rivalsmike
Alex Anzalone will enroll at #Florida tomorrow, he is de-committed from #NotreDame due to the Brian Kelly interview w Eagles.

ETGator1 · 01-10-2013, 03:43 PM

Back to 8 EEs

27 ships accounted for with 4 open slots - time to jump on the Gator Express while you can

RayGator · 01-16-2013, 03:04 AM

OL Trenton Brown is an Early Enrollment at UF.

mfpardnor2 · 01-16-2013, 07:26 AM

Sorry Ray

JUCO offensive linemen signee Trenton Brown (Milledgeville Georgia Military) did not enroll early as planned because he came up a couple credits short. Brown will report in the summer with the incoming freshmen.
