I hope it's this. Maybe there are some surprises out there that are off the radar.

So your saying it's just a save face move?
I guess it's possible, but I just don't think so.

no I am not saying that

My feeling is the coaches don't think he is coming, and don't want to wait around and get burned on signing day.

Maybe someone else is showing interest and they don't want to sit on the scholly.

From QP's Twitter...

"Did that jus happen??? Cant trust nobody.. I hate them now straight up"

There better be a good reason we did this because it doesn't look good on the surface! With so many spots open I can't understand this one.

Its funny how the recruit acts when he feels the coaches burned him but when the recruits burn coaches by flipping or decommitting they dont think much of it. Just saying.

Leads me to believe we have someone else to take his ship.

How do we know Tyson's information is accurate unless we get confirmation from someone on our side? This could be a ploy by some USC booster to create a last minute rift to seal his commitment with them. If Muschamp visited him and we get the response "Coach Muschamp just left my house, man o man this is a hard decision" and that happened within the last few days, then it is unlikely that we did or said anything that would have impacted on the this current status. Muschamp is not going to meet with a recruit, reaffirm our interest in him after he decommitted, and then drop him a couple days later.

This is either subterfuge by USC or gamesmanship by Muschamp and Powell

Or final days movement. It could mean that someone else was willing to jump on board who we were not as aware of.

From Zach A:

Daytona Beach Mainland linebacker Quinton Powell just told me Florida called this morning and said it doesn't have enough scholarships left to hold a spot for him in the 2013 class.

Powell added that this was not because the UF coaches weren't willing to wait on his NSD decision and said they never gave him an ultimatum of, 'commit right now or we're moving on.' He was told they simply don't have room anymore.

The NSD love-in finally comes back to bite a recruit. I'm glad.

Does this mean there are some possible commits we don't know about? *cough* Ramsey? *cough*

[GATORAZ]

you have to remember Powell said something like "If they really want me they well wait" when he decommitted. I wonder if CWM will recruit a kid out of Mainland again

I think that under those circumstances and given the nature of the process, that Champ would have afforded Powell a chance to at least silent commit again. We have gotten three linebackers since his commitment/decommitment. It is a two way street.

This reeks of gamesmanship. It strikes me as an in your face to Kiffin who has been nothing but a POS when it comes to ethics and fair play.

According that Powell said it wasn't a "we won't wait" scenario though...

[Zanso]

Has to be more to this. Champ went out of his way to do an in home with Powell last week and I don't see us having 8 recruits (or however many spots we have left) that are better than Powell.

Who are the players that are taking the remaining scholarships?
