Re: [gatortalk] recruiting??

Still no LOI, even though he was at the basketball game with Daniel Imatorhebhe and Tyler Jordan.  Martez Ivey was there, too but I think he was sitting elsewhere.  At one point, Jefferson was projected and acknowledged on the O'Dome screens. (As someone mentioned on Twitter, if the people who did that are not part of the UAA, it won't be an NCAA infraction, but if they are...sheesh).  Supposedly the Rowdy Reptiles chanted "SEND THE LET-TER!"

The rumors are that he got the new LOI when he visited campus, his mother has signed it, and it'll show up some time this week.

What a bunch of drama.

According to GC insiders thread, CeCe is on campus today.  Don't be surprised if you see him and Coach announcing the LOI.

I can't understand why the coaches can't pick up the phone and make a call to the Jeffersons or make another in home pitch. Maybe they don't really want him?

Honestly, this is a sack of garbage.  Jefferson said yesterday that he and his mother both want him to go to Florida.  He said on a radio station yesterday he was going to send the LOI this morning.  A reporter from Baker County said that Jefferson totally is a Gator and will send in the LOI.  Jefferson supposedly told ESPN himself he knew Williams was leaving.

I have no doubt in my mind this is 100% the father.  He first told various people that he would NOT allow CeCe to send the fax and then told the Gainesville Sun he wouldn't sign the LOI. Other places have quoted the elder Jefferson saying that he wanted CeCe to go somewhere else but wouldn't explain why, other times it's because he just wanted CeCe "elsewhere".  Everyone looked super happy when CeCe announced; there was none of those shocked looks or telling stares like Gerald Willis' mother when Willis announced he was going to UF and the year or two before, when his half-brother announced he was going to Bama (the mother wanted them both at LSU).

Five-star Jefferson unsigned

Mike Farrell
National Recruiting Director

Five-star defensive end CeCe Jefferson has yet to sign his letter of intent for Florida and his father, Leo Jefferson, explained why on Thursday.


Leo said CeCe himself is not ready to sign it.




<spacer1.gif>

"He told me that yesterday after his announcement," Leo said, adding he would have been glad to sign and fax the letter to Florida if that's what his son wanted.

The holdup, Leo said, is because Gators defensive line coach Terrell Williams is reportedly leaving after just one month to accept the same position on the Miami Dolphins staff. Williams will reportedly be replaced by Texas defensive line coach Chris Rumph.

"The Florida staff never told us he was leaving," Leo said. "We don't know (Rumph) at all."

Leo said that the in-home visit with Gators coach Jim McElwain was rushed, they stayed for an hour and rushed out the door to see a 2016 prospect and only talked about the new dorms and the new facilities on the visit. The visit paled in comparison to the other in home visits, according to Leo.

Though Florida is CeCe's "dream school," neither he nor Leo felt good about the Gators staff or the changes at defensive line coach, according to Leo. Leo's wife doesn't want him to go to Florida and both parents felt CeCe should go away from home to grow up and get away from all the Gators fans in Baker County and his friends that might distract him.

Regardless, "if CeCe wants to go to Florida, we are on board," Leo said.

Leo also mentioned concern about Gators athletic director Jeremy Foley being involved in the firing of assistant coaches and how involved he is in the program. Leo doesn't believe that McElwain will have the power at Florida that Nick Saban, Hugh Freeze, Gus Malzahn, Les Miles and others have at their schools.

Leo wouldn't divulge what school he and his wife prefer for CeCe.

"The coaches at Florida wanted the letter signed by 8:30 this morning so they could go on vacation," Leo said. "(McElwain) was only head coach of all the ones recruiting him that hasn't called as of 1 p.m. Coaches from schools CeCe wasn't listing as finalists have all called, but Florida has not called him."

The NCAA prohibits coaches from publicly commenting on unsigned prospects.

Clearly, the Jeffersons aren't impressed with the lack of communication over the defensive line coach change or the recent actions of the staff.

"The staff should have considered being honest with us about the (coach) change," Leo said. "They haven't pursued CeCe nearly as hard as others and I'm not sure why."

Leo added, "they aren't going on vacation anytime soon because we're not sending that letter".

I've got a case of PBR (you'll have to pick up in Port St. Lucie) that Jefferson ends up at auburn. Too much stuff going on here about a "package deal" with him and Cowart.
