Now that would be a story line "UF refuses OV from #1 recruit to save the visit for a 3* that won't waste their time"

I used to think there was a limit, now I'm not sure. But it seems that there may not be a limit according to this site.

How many official visits can a coach offer?


The number of official visits a college or team can offer depends on their budget each year. Division I schools usually can afford the most official visits, followed by Division II schools. NAIA and Division III colleges usually do not offer paid official visits, even though they are allowed to offer them.

I thought it was 55, but I'm not sure now.

If he is serious about being at Ole Miss for the long haul and trying to win real titles, he needs to recruit in a completely different way. He needs to recruit rich alumni and ask them to expand the stadium and the other facilities. Until that happens, they won't have a chance with the big boys consistently.
Hopefully, Robert understands that and it is a factor on his decision making. That and academics.

If it was only that simple for these kids but it's not. Family, life long fan and emotions play a HUGE role in making these decisions.

Good luck, Robert Nkemdiche. (Except against us of course)

They didn't even consider U of I which is better than UF,excluding sport,. even though they redline at 80% for Illinois residents. (80% of Illinois residents are from metro Chicago, that's why local kids call it 13th grade.) What's the point of going off to college if everyone comes from the same place. If you're not from that place, you're overwhelming outnumbered by locals. If you come from Nigeria, you might as well be from another planet. Fortunately, that goes double for Oxford, MS.

What is with the xenophobia at UF? When I was there, people were from everywhere. I would never have understood anything about the world without my friends from places like Washington DC, Chicago, New York, Jamaica, Norway, Dominca, France or even other planets, like Texas. My guess is that the 8% from out of state are mostly athletes or very well connected legacies.

So I know that was a digression, but it's got to be a hard sell to recruit athletes from out of the region, especially from other countries, who speak a second language, other than Spanish. We almost lost Easley. The cracker factor was a very hard transition for him. We've had more attrition from the upper east coast than anywhere else.

Don't get me started about your governor. Yes, I know our last governor is in jail, but at least he committed his crimes while in office. Yours defrauded the government of billions of dollars years before you elected him, then he started screwing up what you had left, most of all the great flagship university. Say what you want, but the Graham and Childs years were good for UF.

Sorry. I guess you can lock this thread. I don't even remember what it was about. I'm heading out for more beer anyway.

Oh yea. Robert the awesome multi-cultural defensive lineman whose mother is a legislator in Nigeria and whose brother plays for Ole Miss. I hope he's reading this. Either he knows someone understands him, or he thinks Gator fans need to find better ways to spend their time. Like I just said, I'm heading out for more beer. Good luck Robert. I'm going to ask my brother how to say that in your native language.

Is this thread locked yet? That would be a milestone. I just hit 25,000 posts. I've been a moderator. I've been banned, but I've never had a thread locked.

If you don't lock it, at least let it get back on track.

If you want to find me later on, I'll probably be in the pub.

Do you write more or drink more?

Robert named his final three: Miss, LSU, Florida. Most people have him to Miss. but I'm still confident he will pick the Gators.

cracker factor.

[UFreak]

Cracker ass cracker

[gatorboy27]

Robert was ticking orange and blue today. He said he had a great time in Gainesville. He was really impressed with DJ and loved the plans they have for him if he becomes a Gator. Also said Muschamp is hilarious and just fun to be around, but that you can tell he's an intense worker.

He's still undecided. Its a really hard decision for him.

Sorry, not biting. Staff and most everybody around feels he is Ole Miss's to lose. After DQ left, that was pretty much the end of his serious intentions. Everything else is just hype to his already known decision. As Charles Barkley says: I could be wrong....but I doubt it.

If you read my earlier post, I clearly say ole miss is leader. I'm just reporting what he told me today. He said he loved UF and the coaches. His biggest influence is parents with regards to playing with his brother. Robert did sag e feels like going to ole miss would take away the spotlight from his brother, for whatever that's worth.
