This from SEC Country on Javier Edwards:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Recruiting momentum is picking up for Florida as summer approaches.
UF landed its second defensive tackle in as many weeks Thursday when junior college prospect Javier Edwards committed to the Gators on the spot after receiving an offer.
He’s the seventh member of Florida’s 2017 class and the second pledge at his position, joining Jordon Scott.
The 6-foot-3, 340-pound Edwards is originally from Houston and plays for Blinn College in Texas. Florida defensive coordinator Geoff Collins offered him in high school when he coached at Mississippi State.

From SEC Country:
The controversy at Baylor that cost Art Briles his job and sent the program into complete turmoil has had repercussions throughout the country.
Athletic departments are trying to learn whatever lessons they can to prevent the next “Baylor” from occurring at their school.
It does not take too much common sense to know Baylor mishandled reporting sexual assaults on campus and the football program was complicit either by its silence or, worse, willfully to protect the football program. It is a situation that athletic directors across the country are hoping to prevent.
Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley is being proactive with his approach to prevent this misstep from occurring in Gainesville.
Edgar Thompson of the Orlando Sentinel reports Foley sent an e-mail to each coach at Florida on Thursday to remind them of their duties whenever a case of sexual assault or harassment are reported to them.
According to Thompson, the e-mail highlights policies Florida already implements. But the message was meant as a reminder in light of recent events.
It stated a requirement to tell the athletic department about any report of sexual assault or harassment given to a coach, a reminder coaches are not allowed to do their own investigation of sexual assault or harassment and a reminder for coaches to stay out of the investigation process, including not serving as primary counselors for players.
The reminder is pretty comprehensive and certainly touches directly on the things that went wrong at Baylor and its culture that allowed this controversy to occur.

UF 2017 QB commit Jake Allen out of Ft. Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas competed last weekend as part of the top 24 QBs in the nation, but failed to be selected for the top 12 to compete in the Elite 11 over the summer. I'm not a bit concerned. This kid is a QB with an excellent future in McElwain's pro style offense.

Finally some movement on Antonio Callaway. So long as he's back before at Tennessee, all will be good:
By Robbie Andreu Staff writer

Florida wide receiver Antonio Callaway's interim suspension has been modified so that he can attend class on campus, his attorney, Huntley Johnson, announced via email Tuesday.
The modification also allows him to make use of the facilities at the university.
Also, in the email, Johnson said, “We are working through the process that the University has in place to reach a final resolution in this matter. There will be no further comment at this time.”

Florida DB Jalen Tabor Reveals The 4 Games He Has Circled On The Schedule
Dan Lyons
"Florida star Jalen Tabor is one of the more outspoken college football players on social media, and he recognizes it. Last night, when not trolling Tennessee, Tabor revealed that four games on this year’s Gators schedules stand out for him. The September 24 date in Knoxville is one of them, along with LSU (Oct. 8), Georgia (Oct. 29), and Florida State (Nov. 26)."
My comments:
1. at UT - The vols always run their mouth about being the best team in the nation in November plus they are a pain in the ass all of the time.
2. LSU - Time to put a beat down on Wanna Be DBU. UF is over do.
3. UGA in Jax - Do we have to have a reason?
4. at FSU - The sleezy bastards didn't get UF's best after Grier went out and they ran a pitch sweep to Dalvin Cook to run up the score with less than 30 seconds left in the game after being stopped on a dive play up the middle on the previous play. I have a feeling that 16 is going to be like 12 with the nolies getting UF's best shot and with the Gators walking out of Doak with a win.
Since the swag is flowing, I'd add at Arkansas to Jalen's list. There's nothing better than having Bielma bitching, moaning, and groaning after losing.

UF confirms Antonio Callaway is allowed to use the facilities and will be around the program. This from floridagators.com:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – There has been scarce news of late on Gators sophomore receiver Antonio Callaway regarding his absence from the football program.
That changed early Tuesday afternoon thanks to an email sent by Huntley Johnson, who represents Callaway, to media outlets around the state.
Robbie Andreu of The Gainesville Sun first reported on Huntley's missive.
29426 The part of Johnson's message that resonated most with fans and media was his assertion that Callaway's suspension has been modified so he can attend classes on campus and use the team's facilities to work out.
As for Callaway's return to the field, that remains uncertain.
"We are working through the process that The University has in place to reach a final resolution on this matter,'' Johnson wrote. "There will be no future comment at this time."
Once Johnson's email hit the news cycle, UF spokesman Steve McClain confirmed to media outlets that Callaway is "allowed to use the athletic facilities and he will be around the program."
Callaway, who is from Miami, had 35 receptions for a team-high 678 yards and returned two punts for touchdowns. He broke Reidel Anthony's school record for most receiving yards as a true freshman.

What are your thoughts on this? Clearly of Hunter Johnson is Galloway's spokesperson, it is safe to assume this is at least somewhat criminal in nature.

What are your thoughts on this? Clearly of Hunter Johnson is Galloway's spokesperson, it is safe to assume this is at least somewhat criminal in nature. I honestly don't know. Callaway's suspension has been hush, hush since January. It's always mentioned as a student conduct violation which could be almost anything. However, Treon Harris was suspended at the same time and he has had trouble with sex and drug allegations. If there is evidence to continue the suspension or kick Callaway out of school, it's time to shit or get off the pot. Huntley Johnson said the allegations against Callaway were baseless as far back as March. My guess is this is close to being resolved or Callaway wouldn't have had his suspension modified. He is working out with all player directed workouts at this time. As I said yesterday, all is good if Callaway is back by the 4th game at UT; however, I'm hoping Callaway doesn't miss that much game time especially if Huntley Johnson is right and since UF appears to be working this out to a conclusion as evidenced by the modified suspension. Callaway has already missed all offseason workouts and spring practice. That's a lot of punishment if the charges have turned out to be baseless.
Notice that everything is silent on Treon Harris. My guess is he won't be back. I also don't know anything on his allegations either, but there has been no modification of his suspension. Harris may be a third strike and you're out situation.

Congratulations to Steve Spurrier on such a well deserved honor. UF adds Spurrier's name to field:
Spurrier's Name Added To Florida Field
The Gators icon to be honored at season opener on Sept. 3
By Scott Carter, Senior Writer | Thursday, June 9, 2016
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Steve Spurrier is returning to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium to be honored at the Gators' season opener.
He is staying permanently.
The University of Florida's Board of Trustees voted Thursday to add Spurrier's name to Florida Field, where he starred as a player in the 1960s and returned in 1990 to begin a 12-year run as head coach and take the program to startling success. Steve Spurrier-Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium will be unveiled Sept. 3 when Florida hosts UMass.
"We feel this was an appropriate way to commemorate one the most legendary figures in Gator athletics history," said Athletics Director Jeremy Foley. "Coach Spurrier did more than win a Heisman Trophy, a national championship and a bunch of games. Coach Spurrier changed the culture of Florida athletics. We were an institution that always had a mantra of wait until next year and wouldn't it be great to just win one championship.
"Coach changed all of that. The Gators won, won big and won with swagger. As much as he impacted the football program, he changed the vibe in the entire athletic department. He and his wife, Jerri, were big supporters of the entire athletic department – giving advice to different coaches, attending other sporting events and even endowed a scholarship to support women's athletics." Spurrier was aware the University Athletic Association planned to honor him during the 2016 season, but adding his name to the field caught the head ballcoach by surprise.
"I was stunned, really, when Jeremy called,'' Spurrier said. "I had no idea that was even being considered."
Five decades after he first stepped foot on UF's campus, Spurrier easily recalled his first time on the field.
"My first memory of Florida Field is when we took the freshman team picture in the stadium in 1963,'' he said. "I had been in the stadium earlier, watching the spring game before the 1963 season, but my first real memory is sitting in the wooden bleachers getting ready for the team photo."
As for his first game at Florida Field, well, the 71-year-old Spurrier remembers that, too.
The UF freshman team hosted Georgia and Spurrier completed five of six passes for 221 yards, threw two touchdowns and ran for another in Florida's 45-12 victory against the Bulldogs on Nov. 16, 1963, just six days before President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.
Georgia proved to be Florida's longtime nemesis prior to his return as head coach, but Spurrier and the "Baby Gators" as the freshman team was known in those days, took care of business in his home debut.
"They were keeping score that day so that counts," he said.
The Florida icon stepped down as South Carolina's head coach last season to conclude one of the great college football lives the game has known.
Spurrier was inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame in 1986 as a player and is on the 2017 ballot as a coach. Spurrier has enjoyed many great moments at 'The Swamp,' which he nicknamed Florida's home stadium in 1992.
The most famous happened Oct. 29, 1966.
The Gators were tied with Auburn 27-27 with just over two minutes remaining. Florida's unblemished record and first place in the Southeastern Conference were at stake. The Gators faced fourth-and-14 from Auburn's 24-yard line.
UF kicker Wayne Barfield was spot on at close range, but a 40-yard field goal was slightly out of his range.
Spurrier looked at Coach Ray Graves and said, "I'll kick it."
"He just had that look in his eye,'' the late Graves told The Tampa Tribune in 1991. And whenever he thought he could do something, nine out of 10 times he got it done."
Spurrier delivered the game-winner and clinched the Heisman Trophy the same day, a seminal moment in the history of Florida football. A few weeks later in New York at the Heisman Trophy presentation, Spurrier accepted the award at the podium along with late UF President J. Wayne Reitz.
Spurrier handed Reitz the trophy.
"This award is for my teammates, the students and the fans of the University of Florida,'' he said.
Fifty years later it's Spurrier on the receiving end.
"To have him come back as kind of the savior and head coach, the changes he immediately made by ripping up the turf and putting the grass down, and that opening game against Oklahoma State game where they all of a sudden started throwing the ball all around the yard, we knew we were in for something special as Gator fans,'' former UF receiver Chris Doering said. "This was a guy who gave his heart and soul for this university."
Another of Spurrier's former players, UF linebacker James Bates, considers Spurrier the No. 1 Gator in the history of the program for the way he changed the culture and his overall impact on the university's stature.
"I really feel like he is the swagger pioneer,'' Bates said. "He was just so confident, but cool about it, and knew he was going to win. And so it was just infectious. It was infectious with his other coaches, it was infectious with our football teams. You knew you were probably going to win if you had Coach Steve Spurrier on your sideline.
"I feel like Steve Spurrier is Florida Gator football. He has meant so much to it in so many different ways. No matter what lens you are looking at this program through, it all has so much to do with Steve Spurrier."
Spurrier was a first-team All-American in 1965 and '66. Once his playing career ended, Spurrier began his coaching career in 1978 at UF as an assistant under Doug Dickey. He later coached in the USFL and at Duke prior to his return to Florida in 1990.
Spurrier led the Gators to their first national championship in 1996 and posted a 122-27-1 record, including a 63-5 record on the field that now bears his name.
In a statement to FloridaGators.com, Spurrier expressed his gratitude for the honor:
"I am humbled, honored, thankful and very appreciative that my alma mater, the University of Florida, believes that I am worthy and deserving to have my name placed on Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, also known as 'The Swamp.' I was blessed and fortunate to be recruited and then to play for the original 'Bull Gator' – Coach Ray Graves in the mid-60s. I was fortunate to play with outstanding and talented teammates that allowed our teams to have winning seasons and play in major bowl games and build lasting friendships for a lifetime. A very special thanks to Coach Doug Dickey, who hired me as an assistant coach in 1978, and allowing me to enter the coaching profession. I will always be grateful for the opportunity he gave me. As the head coach in 1990, I inherited a team that was loaded with outstanding players, who were poised and ready to start winning SEC Championships. We have had many truly great All-American, All-SEC and solid wonderful team-oriented players at Florida and I can't mention them all. I must say that Shane Matthews and Danny Wuerffel were not only two of the greatest quarterbacks in school history, but they were outstanding, excellent, courageous leaders who guided their teams to six SEC championships and one national championship in 1996. The Swamp is a special place. We coaches and players thoroughly enjoyed playing in front of our fans. We won a bunch of them there and only lost five and they were close ones. I also met my wife, Jerri Starr, at the University of Florida, she has been a tremendous influence on everything I've done since. Again, I say thanks to all of those who made this honor possible and I consider this to be the biggest, most special honor I have ever received."

6.13.2016
Jeremy Foley Announces His Retirement:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – In the beginning, the kid from New Hampshire who grew up cheering for Yaz and Tony C. and other gods of Fenway had a dream deeply tied to his New England roots.
"I wanted to be general manager of the Red Sox,'' Jeremy Foley said. "I ended up being general manager of the Gators."
In the end, Foley is retiring as the University of Florida's athletics director after an unprecedented run of success leading one of the nation's top athletic programs. The 63-year-old Foley informed his administrative staff and Florida's head coaches on Monday morning that after 40 years at the University Athletic Association – the last 25 seasons as head of the organization – he will retire effective Oct. 1.
Foley will remain at UF as Emeritus Athletics Director per his current contract agreement.
Following months of contemplation, Foley said he feels the timing is right to enter the next phase of his life.
"You always want to leave an organization in good shape,'' Foley said during a 30-minute interview in his Ben Hill Griffin Stadium office Friday morning. "Right now, we obviously have a great group of coaches, we have had a good year and we've got things moving in the right direction. I just think that makes it a good time to transition." Foley arrived at UF in 1976 after completing his master's degree in sports management at Ohio University. He never left. Foley began his career as an intern in the ticket office and following a steady climb through the UAA, he was introduced as AD on March 9, 1992 – two days after getting a call at home from then-UF President John Lombardi that he had gotten the job.
Foley soon began to build the Gators into a perennial contender for national championships in sports across the college athletics landscape. Florida had won nine national championships (in five sports) prior to Foley taking over the program. Under his leadership, the Gators have won 27 national titles in 13 different sports, the most recent on Friday night when the UF men's track and field team won the NCAA Outdoor crown in Eugene, Ore.
The Gators made history in 2006 when UF became the first school to win national championships in football and men's basketball in the same year. Foley is the only AD in Division I history to lead a program that won multiple national championships in football (1996, 2006, 2008) and men's basketball (2006, 2007).
Foley wanted to make his plans official prior to UAA Board and UAA Booster meetings this week that will focus on future planning for the organization.
"I want to do what's right for Florida,'' Foley said. "That's why I have spent a lot of time thinking it through. And I want to make sure everyone understands this is my decision. I'm not sick; I'm not dissatisfied; I'm not getting pushed. It happens to all of us. The time comes."
UF President Kent Fuchs has worked closely with Foley for the past year in his first year leading the university. He expressed respect for the job Foley has done in building the UF athletic program into a symbol of pride for the university and Gator Nation.
"Jeremy's amazing accomplishments as athletics director are well known, and the university is very grateful to him for the national championships, a winning sports program that is highly ranked year after year, and the growth of women's sports,'' Fuchs said. "Jeremy also has a well-deserved reputation for recruiting the nation's most talented coaches and building an athletic association that is recognized as among the very best in the country.
"What I especially appreciate about Jeremy, however, is his integrity and his commitment to our students. Success to Jeremy is a student-athlete who graduates and wins championships in the right way. That is the culture he created here over his 25-year career and it is what we will remember."
Perhaps as much as his accomplishments as an administrator, Foley's passion for the Gators is what many fans will remember most about his career.
Foley remains a regular at UF sporting events and spent the weekend at McKethan Stadium to watch the Gators play in-state rival Florida State in the Gainesville Super Regional for a berth in the College World Series.
When Foley is at an event, his focus is on the competition.
"I got into this business to be a fan because I am a fan,'' he said. "I like to cheer. I like to root. That's the juice in this business, watching our teams and coaches compete. Sometimes my being a fan may have caused me problems in my career, especially with members of the media because I was too much of a fan.
"There was a time when people asked me about being a conference commissioner. I've got tremendous respect for those jobs, but I never had an interest in doing that because it would be hard for me to be a fan of 14 teams. I'm a Gator fan. That never interested me for that reason alone."
Don't expect Foley to disappear after Oct. 1. His top priority is to complete multiple facility projects that are currently planned as part of the UAA's master facility plan.
Two major projects – the renovation of the O'Connell Center and building of the Hawkins Center for academics – are currently underway. The $25 million Hawkins Center is scheduled to open later this month.
"I want to get some of the facility planning off the ground because I've looked some coaches in the eye and told them we are going to do some things. I'm not going to back out on my word on that,'' Foley said. "I feel really good about that."
Foley isn't sure what is next personally other than taking time to attend various music festivals he has missed over the years due to his hectic schedule.
What Foley knows for sure is this: He will miss making the same drive to work he has for the last 40 years and the people involved in the day-to-day operations for an athletic program that now operates with a $100 million-plus budget.
"I grew up wanting to do this,'' he said. "I've invested a lot in this place. Everybody who knows me knows I'm not putting my feet up. I still have some work to do for this organization. I think because the organization is in such good shape in terms of people and coaches and achievement, now is the perfect time.
"What that allows us to do is a smooth transition. That's what you always want, a smooth transition."
Foley's leadership has made that possible.

The remaining 2016 recruits that didn't report in January with the exception of DB Joseph Putu who is coming in August will arrive on campus tomorrow (Tuesday). This from Zach A. at SEC Country:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — All but one of Florida’s remaining 2016 signees will arrive in Gainesville this week.
A dozen incoming freshmen are set to report to campus Tuesday for the Summer B semester, which begins next Monday. Junior college cornerback Joseph Putu is coming in August.
Florida’s other 12 signees enrolled early at UF, and a handful of them made early impressions in the spring. A few more are expected to do the same in fall training camp.
The star of the class is Tyrie Cleveland, arguably the nation’s best wide receiver who flipped to the Gators on signing day. His elite skill set will be met with high expectations at Florida, where he will reunite with childhood friend and fellow wide receiver Rick Wells, who was Jim McElwain’s first commitment.
Cleveland and Wells are two of five new receivers for 2016, and their position features the best group of signees in the class. Another new offensive weapon for UF is Lamical Perine.
He was the top running back in Alabama as a senior and the Crimson Tide heavily pursued him late in the recruiting process. Perine may not play right away because the depth chart is stacked, but he’s a force to be reckoned for in the future.
The Gators also add two offensive linemen, Brett Heggie and Jawaan Taylor, on that side of the ball. Both likely will redshirt this fall.
Another big-time incoming freshman is defensive end Antonneous Clayton, who is rated a 5-star recruit by Rivals and No. 10 nationally by ESPN. He’ll quickly work his way into the rotation and make an immediate impact, even if he isn’t a starter.
Jachai Polite, who is “way better” than Auburn’s Byron Cowart according to the state of Florida’s top offensive tackle, also joins the Florida defensive line. He comes in as a strongside defensive end, but could grow into a tackle depending on how he develops.
The Gators welcome two linebackers in Vosean Joseph and Jeremiah Moon, who was compared to ‘The Freak’ by Jevon Kearse himself. Moon will redshirt in 2016 to fill out his freakish frame, while Joseph could see the field on special teams.
Florida adds three defensive backs to its secondary in cornerback C.J. McWilliams and safeties Quincy Lenton and Jeawon Taylor. All three could possibly play as freshmen for depth purposes, particularly Taylor.
