If Dalvin Cook wants to be a Gator, good.
If Dalvin Cook doesn't want to be a Gator, good.
It's not like Dalvin Cook is the Tim Tebow impact of RBs.

Sounds to me like you are starting to think he is gone as several months ago he was a total impact recruit, a true stud. I honestly have no idea where he is heading right now, but I'd honestly be surprised if he sticks at UF.

UF wants 2 RBs in the 14 class. Dalvin Cook isn't a CB with UF so he'll do. That's about it.
Really, the self importance these kids put upon themselves is ridiculous.
Cook has a public decision to UF. Unless you can tell me something different, that hasn't changed..........

It's not likely Cook is coming to UF:
zachabolverdi: Dalvin Cook reportedly visiting LSU last. Claims he doesn't need to see UF again, but then why OV to FSU & UM? He's been there just as much.
As an EE, he'd do a lot more than others on an official visit if he was intending on coming to UF. This staying committed to UF publically is complete BS.
UF offered and is in on a RB from Louisiana offering about two weeks ago. Muschamp knows he isn't coming, but can't publically speak about an unsigned recruit. That's one recruiting rule I'd be in favor of changing. Playing loose with commitments publically to get a day in the sun with a surprise is way past getting old.
When UF flipped 5 star Dante Fowler two years ago from FSU, there was none of the games going on.
Recently, UF flipped 4 star WR Ryan Sousa from FSU and it had none of the games attached either.

I believe once Cook signed the financial aid papers with the big three, not only are the coaches allowed unlimited contact but they are also now allowed to comment publicly on recruits who have signed the papers. I don't think LSU is sneaking in. But I would not be shocked if he isn't a silent to FSU for several weeks now. Seems to be a favorite tactic of Fishers to have kids who are silently committed continue to visit elsewhere.

Darrell, until a player signs his LOI, the coach from the school receiving the LOI cannot discuss the player publically. Signing the financial aid papers doesn't give the coach the right to say anything pubically.
BTW, the RB from Louisiana chose LSU today. Right now, UF has no RBs in the 14 class when Muschamp originally wanted two if Dalvin Cook does as expected and craps on his public Gator commitment.
I'll say this, when a player pulls these punk games in recruiting, it often comes back to bite them in real games.

The dominos are falling. When it comes to the Gators I've always been the glass half empty guy, and ET, you've always had a full glass. Please give me something to prevent me from emptying my glass entirely.

I'll say this, when a player pulls these punk games in recruiting, it often comes back to bite them in real games. I thought I read differently, that once papers are signed coached can comment. One thing I learned long ago ET, don't get too caught up in recruiting. Most of these kids are thriving on the attention they get. They see a Nick Saban on TV and hear he makes a zillion dollars coaching and then he is in their living room sweet talking your mom and telling you everything you ever dreamed of and it is hard to turn down. We see kids in Miami all the time, life long Cane fans, entire family Cane fans and all of a sudden they are off to some other program. No doubt some of the top kids take cash and some take it from multiple colleges. But I think most are just confused kids who have never received this kind of attention before.

The dominos are falling. When it comes to the Gators I've always been the glass half empty guy, and ET, you've always had a full glass. Please give me something to prevent me from emptying my glass entirely. The recruiting class is far from falling apart. We won't meet out needs at RB, but it's not like UF doesn't have good returning players. Last week UF flipped a 4 star receiver, Ryan Sousa, from potential national champion FSU. Today UF is likely to pick up the commitment of David Sharpe, a highly rated OL out of Jax who is down to UF and UTn. At one time, he was thought to be headed to UGA. He also flirted with bama for a while. With Sharpe's commitment UF will be up to 17 commitments (counting Cook) in a class that likely has room for 21, maybe 22. UF is returning a deep and talented roster. UF is in on several likely commitments so this class will fill up as expected except at RB. Still, it's a long way to go to NSD. Muschamp has shown an ability to flip players committed to other schools when the need arises. I wouldn't be shocked to see a very good RB end up in the class. As I've said from the beginning of this recruiting year, look for a recruiting class of 21 final ranked around #12. If that is falling apart, then UF is falling apart. (G)

Darrell, a coach can't comment on a player publically until the LOI is signed, faxed, and received.
I think a rule change would end much of the recruiting games that are played, not to be confused with going through the recruiting process. If a coach knows a player is not coming to his school, he should be able to say so publically.

lz, here is some good news for you. UF just picked up David Sharpe's commitment. He's 6'7"/300+ and is projected at LT. I wouldn't be surprised to see him make UF's 2 deep depth chart. He needs to build his upper body strength. Many project him to the NFL after UF. It came down to UF, UTn, and Clemson. He grew up a Gator so going with his heart undoubtedly played into his decision.

I think a rule change would end much of the recruiting games that are played, not to be confused with going through the recruiting process. If a coach knows a player is not coming to his school, he should be able to say so publically. From The Palm Beach PostThe signing of financial aid papers does not guarantee any of the players will play for the Hurricanes (or in Cook’s case, the Seminoles or Gators). Unlike a National Letter of Intent, a financial aid agreement is non-binding. It only guarantees the school must offer them a scholarship — which in this case, the schools certainly would have done regardless. Players are not prohibited from signing a financial aid agreement with a different school. It does have plenty of benefit to the school, which may have unlimited contact with a player, and may publicly discuss (read: promote their successful recruitment of) said player. (I note it says the school may publicly discuss but doesn't specify the coach, but who else is going to discuss a recruit)Beginning in October, the NCAA allowed all Division I schools to sign student-athletes to financial aid agreements. The system has been mostly used by football players who plan to enroll in January, as Cook, Darling and Yearby plan to do. - See more at: blogs.palmbeachpost.com/caneswatch/2013/12/04/miami-central-standouts-dalvin-cook-joseph-yearby-trevor-darling-sign-um-financial-aid-papers/#sthash.0NCjqYRU.dpuf

Darrell, tell me when you see any public comments about Dalvin Cook from the coaches at UF, FSU, and Miami.

Darrell, tell me when you see any public comments about Dalvin Cook from the coaches at UF, FSU, and Miami. Article says that they can comment, not that they are required to. I'd imagine most of the head coaches in particular are way too busy at this point to worry about discussing some recruit with the media.
