Cook signs financial aid agreements with FSU, UM
by Zach Abolverdi (Gainesville SUN)
The recruiting saga of Dalvin Cook took another interesting turn Wednesday as the Florida commitment told Rivals.com he has signed financial aid agreements with Florida State and Miami.
He plans to sign one with UF as well.
The grant-in-aid agreement, adopted by the NCAA in October, allows Division I schools to sign early enrollees such as Cook to scholarship papers.
The agreement gives Cook a guaranteed scholarship and, more importantly, unlimited contact with FSU and UM. Schools can also acknowledge the signee publicly, which Miami has done.
However, a financial aid agreement does not bind a prospect to a school like a letter of intent, and midyear graduates can sign multiple agreements.
Last week Cook called Florida State his leader and scheduled an official visit with the Hurricanes, and these latest developments are another sign of just how shaky his pledge is with the Gators. He still claims to be committed to Florida, which The Sun reported Tuesday, but his recent actions suggest otherwise.
The Under Armour All-American plans to make a final decision Dec. 14 at the Class 6A state championship game.

Dalvin…come on over. Gatornation needs you more than ever. Can you imagine our backfield with you and Taylor. Make it happen! It’s time to turn things around!
by Danny Garcia
Wow…kid has to be under tremendous pressure. His indecisiveness and desire to please all or inability to disappoint folk probably give UM the edge. Go Gators!
by TigerCatZeroZero
Cook at this point is on the open market, which is fine. He should consider the benefit of playing in the SEC, however Major exposure and a true test of your NFL worthiness. I hope he chooses UF, but if not the Gators have some pretty good back right now with Kelvin Taylor, Matt Jones and Adam Lane and Mack Brown (but I think he is a senior).
Go Gators!

Cook flipping to any school would be disappointing for the Gators. He seemed like one of the strongest commits not too long ago but thats just how recruiting goes. Cook would help with the new up-tempo spread scheme because of his tremendous speed. Hope he realizes his opportunity at UF and stays on board. Go Gators!!

Can’t blame the young man for leaving all his options open. Take your time and make a solid decision. We need you bro!
by Savage Gator
CMON DALVIN!!! You’ve been one of the staples of the 2014 class. It would speak volumes if you continue to be a man of your word & stick with your original pledge & stay with Florida. Trust me-it’ll be the best decision you’ve ever made. It seems rocky now but honor what you told Coach Muschamp & Coach TRob. They need you & you would be a great fit!! They’re counting on you!!! Dont let the noise distract you!! GO GATORS!!!

UM is the best place for him. Family and friends are all there. A 4-8 football team with no OC is def not the place for him. Ultimately it will come down to fsu and um, and I think his friends and family will be the common denominator. Go canes

Jones may not even be available till mid season next year if at all. Cook is needed in this class big time. Brown is servicable, Taylor has a ways to go but doesn’t have the speed Cook possesses, A. Lane needs time to develop but is needs an opportunity to show what he can do on the field. Going to the spread run game makes Cook a must get.
by J
As much as I would like to have him stick to his commitment. If he wants to go somewhere else due to one bad year. I say let him go. We need people that want to be at Florida and seems as if he doesn’t want to be there. But I really don’t see him getting to the field sooner with FSU or Miami. I believe his best shit at early playing time is with the Gators.

I disagree J. I’d like to have Dalvin, but if there’s one position I’m not worried about it’s running back. I really doubt Jones will be out until mid season next year. We lost him mid season this year, so he has plenty of time to heal, unless he tries to do so much and aggravates it. Easley got injured against FSU last game of the season 2 years ago, then Powell went down in spring game both to ACL tears. Easley was back for the start o the season and Powell would’ve been back early mid season had he not aggravated it. So we will in all likelihood have Jones. Taylor is really turning it on and he’s gonna be a real stud for us next year. lane has had a year to develop and he was already one of the hardest players on the team to tackle before that. Herndon may not see the field much, but he’s really impressed me and he’s had a high ypc average in his limited carries. Brown is that steady dependable back, not flashy, but he’ll get ya those 2 to 3 yards you need every time. Then we have Showers who will be in his 2nd year since transitioning to O so he should have a better grip of the position and be that fast big play guy that Cook was supposed to be. Then we’ve also got Debose we can put in that “Percy Harvin role” to take handoffs as well as catch the ball. And finally depending on how he’s come along there’s Alvin Bailey to take over the Wildcat. The position I’m most worried about is line which makes Sharpe the most important and all signs seem to point to him joining the good guys.

Reminds me of Matt Elam’s recruiting process. He was a UF commit all the way, then he flipped to FSU and late in the process flipped back to UF.
