[...] His academic concerns caused Florida to drop the Tallashassee Lincoln linebacker on Thursday evening. This comes as no surprise to those who have heard the rumors surrounding him this month and my story from Monday. [...]

Feel so Bad for Hearns being let go today by Coach Durkin. Breaks my heart. Hope he goes to Strong at Lui so I can rest assured that he will get the best training and academics possible out side of UF.

My son is James’ teammate at Lincoln and I can tell you first-hand that James is a solid person and the kind of kid anyone would be proud to see representing their team and school. James’ mother is a wonderful person who has done a great job raising James (and his brother, Travis, who also plays for Lincoln).
As for Don,it’s obvious he’s not a Gator. He came in here to instigate and to make a racist comment that would put a false light on Gator fans in general.

I think Muschamp should just let him go. he doesnt have the grades yet and I dont think we can wait and see if he makes it.

We got bet by Louisville. that is terrible. Louisville lost to UCONN and they cheated to get their players through known money man Clint Hurtt. We have to do better and win the SEC next year.

I’m not buying that Hearns is concerned about 5 LB’s in this class, early playing time at Auburn or the recent addition of Anzalone either. He is the only true ILB in our current class while Anzalone is a very good athlete who could play TE/H-back on offense or OLB on defense, which is what he was recruited to play, he is not considered a true ILB propect at this point. Plus the fact with Bostic gone, Hearns has a shot to be our next Mike LB pretty quickly.

All of this leads me to believe it is all about his grades otherwise OSU would not have cancelled his visit after picking up 2 LB recently. If he does qualify, I believe that he will be in this class in my opinion.

Zach, I see you’ve got a story coming out around noon today. Any chance you can discuss Q. Powell’s situation (I saw he was down to UF & USC)? Does L. Williams going to USC last year hurt the Gators in this battle?

Sorry man, I don’t know why I’ve been unusually bitter on this blog lately! I feel like I’m turning into EMK. Just still hung over from that disappointment against Louisville I guess. Looking forward to holding this class together and hopefully adding a few more top notch recruits to get us jonesing even more for next year. My apologies and lots of love to all Gator fans out there! GO GATORS!!!

Zach,
I usually live to hear Dumb A…. like Doug and the SIMPLE MINDED BULLS…. that he has spilled out of his nose, BUT you have done such a GREAT job putting him and his #@$%&*(##$ in his place I won’t attempt to follow up. THANKS, some people are just ignorant and you really can’t do anything about them. Thats how they see PEOPLE and culture, if its not like theirs its something wrong with it or it is NEGATIVE. I would use a phrase like “WAKE UP” but people like that are not asleep they are DEAD. GO GATORS!!!!
