Looking at the other boards, guessing this was a surprise?
#2014yearofthegatorcomeback...maybe

I don't really follow recruiting. Was this guy an LSU lock? They seem upset.

I posted over on the LSURB that WM didn't expect him at UF, but Lewis (UF's TE coach from LA) did. Lewis is tight with Willis' dad, but LA kids are tough to pull. I think once Noil decided he wasn't going to LSU, that lifted the burden off both shoulders to go where they truly wanted to.
Willis might start at UF as a TR FR. The only starter we have coming back at DE is DFJ. Bullard may be moving inside.

Momma:
"He loved it. I could see that he felt at home, comfortable," Justin said. "He always planned to leave state, that was always a goal of his. I didn't know he was going to go that far. The goal was for them, my boys, to play together too. Landon (Collins) did try to work on him for Alabama, but he said no."

TD might crash if the recruiting news for LSU continues to go like this

Start as true frosh? No doubt he will play a lot...but lets not forget Leon Orr, Darious Cummings and others...my guess he will get into the rotation and slowly work his way to the top by earning it...and he may be good enough to do it.
Losing Jernigan really hurt us years ago and I knew the girls school would be able to get milage from his abilities...but even he had to be slowly worked into playing time. Give these kids time to find their classrooms.

This is a good year for players who had no chance to see the field to come in and strut their stuff. Hopefully we get Duke's offense with our talent.

Beginning of the year Willis will not start, but maybe by the end of the year.
Edit: Does getting Willis cause Clark to question his commitment?

Damn....IF any of you folks care to carefully...I repeat...carefully watch the UF defense you will see rotation of all four DL all during the game...everyone who is physically able and knows the playbook can get playing time.Clark knows he will get his share....plus we have upperclassmen in Orr, Cummings (JUCO transfer last year)and playing time will increase.
Look at the true frosh years of Shariff Floyd and Ron Powell...they barely saw the field for the first half of the season...it takes time to develop. Willis will provide depth and his PT will increase also...its all good. I worry more about LSU and the fact that Anthony Johnson is leaving early...but it appears that Willis and his half brother (?) Collins both wanted to leave home and get away from mom. LSU will keep trying most likely.

Should have no barring on Clark's commitment.
