From Mike Farrell at Rivals -
Ok, Leo, CeCe's dad, called me and explained what's going on. I'll put it in bullet points to be as direct as I can....
-- Leo Jefferson is not refusing to sign his son's LOI
-- CeCe himself is not ready to sign and told his father that yesterday after his announcement.
-- Leo said that if CeCe said to sign and fax the letter to Florida, it would be signed and sent right now.
-- The Jefferson's found out that coach Williams was headed to the NFL from other coaches recruiting him because coach McElwain was calling around looking for a defensive line coach for a week. The Florida staff never told the Jeffersons Williams was leaving. They don't know coach Rumph at all.
-- Leo said that the in home visit with coach McElwain was rushed, they stayed for an hour and rushed out the door to see a 2016 prospect and only talked about the new dorms and the new facilities on the visit. The visit paled in comparison to the other in home visits.
-- Leo is a Gators fan he says, CeCe considers Florida his dream school but neither feels good about the staff or the changes at DL coach. Leo's wife doesn't want him to go to Florida and both parents felt CeCe should go away from home to grow up and get away from all the Gators fans in Baker County and his friends that might distract him. But he made it clear that if CeCe wants to go to Florida, they are on board.
-- Leo mentioned some concern about Foley being involved in the firing of assistant coaches and how involved he is in the program and that McElwain won't have the power at Florida that Saban, Freeze, Malzahn, Les Miles and others have at their schools.
-- He wouldn't tell me what school he and his wife preferred for CeCe.
-- He said the coaches at Florida wanted the letter signed by 8:30AM this morning so they could go on vacation. He said the only head coach of all the ones recruiting him that hasn't called as of 1PM ET is McElwain. Coaches from schools CeCe wasn't listing as finalists have all called but Florida has not called him.
-- He said he doesn't need his "arse kissed" but the staff should have considered being honest with them about the DL coach change and they haven't pursued CeCe nearly as hard as others and he's not sure why.
-- Finally he said "they aren't going on vacation anytime soon because we're not sending that letter".
Wow, CeCe... UF sure sounds like the perfect place for you.
Hope you enjoy.

If Foley really is Jerry Jones of CFB, I sure he is thinking "oh shite, why did I hire this guy" right now.

I'm refusing to get my hopes up.

We would jump to #4 on the 247 Composite rankings

Florida fans can't be happy with their new coach if all that stuff is true. Sounds like he doesn't know what he's doing.
You rush your in home with your biggest recruit to go see a 2016 kid?

That's the weird thing though, McElwain was at Bama as Saban built it, coached at Louisville and other places. There is no way he just forgot basic recruiting practices this fast.

I think it's pretty clear mcelwian has a lot of learning to do, in terms of managing a major college HC gig... not that it's all that surprising... everyone has to learn, no matter what the job.
I don't think he was all that involved in bama's recruiting... clearly not a closer for them... and this ain't CO St.

I never thought McElwain was a good hire to begin with. Hate it for Ivey too
Posted on 2/5/15 at 2:11 pm to lowspark12
Also, all these people giving Mcelwain props for closing so strong.... Montez Ivey would've gone to Florida if Adolph hitler himself were the head coach... We basically handed him mcgriff, and CeCe grew up a gator (and he may have totally screwed that up).
It's been a poor start for JM in Gainesville... I'm sure hell do better once he gets established

Looked at some Ryan Davis highlights. Don't know about his top end speed pepole were questioning but he makes some dirty cuts. There were a lot of kids that looked perfectly positioned in the hole to make the tackle that had their ankles broken
Posted on 2/5/15 at 2:22 pm to GenesChin
His agility is really impressive. Cutting ability is definitely top notch. Speed is also definitely lacking. Not that he is slow, but he definitely isn't a 4.4 guy. 4.55-4.6 I would assume.

I think he's going to find that one great year at Colorado State with Bama leftovers means jack shite at a major program.
Good luck Mac. We'll take all the recruits you don't want.

Sorry, I don't.
