Levi Jones put a different spin on the pick-a-hat ceremony as he revealed his decision to attend Southern California . The outside linebacker from Westlake High School in Austin, Texas, took off his jacket to reveal a long-sleeve Florida T-shirt. He then pulled off the Florida shirt to reveal a Florida State shirt underneath. He then removed the Florida State shirt and was left with a USC shirt. Jones then put on a USC hat and said, "Fight On."
It's irritating with these kids and the whole "ceremony" they put on that comes with their signing. A lot of these that do this don't become the superstars they think they are going to be.

NCAA recruiting and signing of prospects has become so unethical and hypocritical, I can't watch CFB any longer.
I blame the schools and coaches as much as the players.

It isn't the college football of yesteryear. It too has become BIG BUSINESS!

if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Then it needs to be run like a big business and play the employees.
The NCAA would be the hindrance of that. But I agree, the kids bring in millions for the schools and they get pennies in scholarships.

Well they do get free tuition, books, lodging, meals, health care, etc.
That said a better stipend is in order.
They ought to at least share in some of the big bucks. I say set them up an escrow account and pay them when their college career is done.

Rivals has UF 9, FSU 5 and UM 11. Good for the big 3 in Florida. Mac got 11 of the top 50 players in Florida. I'll take it. I wil blame Zimmer for the demise of the sports forum. He came, cleaned house, became a troll and left. Thanks!
Miss the banter of the usual suspects in there.
All FL schools did well, good to see the Gata with a strong showing, I was beginning to worry about the welfare of the Gata's here
I expected UF to get some good ones, knowing they can step in and play right away due to the huge openings, everywhere.
Glad the Gators roared to the finish, would have liked to see Blades commit to UF, oh well. Maybe all these "fire coach mac" idiots will finally simmer down.
I was expecting a little more out of Charlie Strong at USF, maybe a full year of recruiting will help.
Nevermind, UF stepped back and let Coach Mac sign the kid that got cited for weed at OSU on 1/29/17.
GO GATA!
You don't really think that kid is the ONLY kid involved or about to be involved with college athletics that smokes weed, right? Shoot, its practically legal or decriminalized everywhere.

He does think it. All of those kids that play sports that go to FSU NEVER do drugs in his mind.
Even Urban pulled his offer. THAT's saying something.

Not when Alabama has players getting pulled over with unregistered firearms and smelling like weed then allowed to play and have his charges dropped.

Coach Mac tried to offer some kid that got busted at OSU for weed the weekend before but UF stepped in... imagine that.
Haven't even looked at UM. Who cares.
Noles are looking good....again

and some good offensive linemen http://www.gainesville.com/news/20170201/grading-gators-2017-signing-class
Miss the banter of the usual suspects in there.
FSU got another great class. Marvin Wilson is a stud who should start immediately and make an impact.
I expected UF to get some good ones, knowing they can step in and play right away due to the huge openings, everywhere.
I was expecting a little more out of Charlie Strong at USF, maybe a full year of recruiting will help.
Nevermind, UF stepped back and let Coach Mac sign the kid that got cited for weed at OSU on 1/29/17.
GO GATA!
You don't really think that kid is the ONLY kid involved or about to be involved with college athletics that smokes weed, right? Shoot, its practically legal or decriminalized everywhere.
Go Gators*
Get busted last week? No problem! Sign here!
Even Urban pulled his offer. THAT's saying something.
He does think it. All of those kids that play sports that go to FSU NEVER do drugs in his mind.
If you're looking for morality in college football and recruiting you'll be searching for a long time. I'm not going to persecute an 18 y/o for having weed. Not when Alabama has players getting pulled over with unregistered firearms and smelling like weed then allowed to play and have his charges dropped.
