There’s a series of words we never thought would appear together in the same headline.
According to First Coast News, six Florida football players are facing university discipline following an on-campus confrontation in late May with a Gainesville-area gambler named Devante’ “Tay Bang” Zachery that involved airsoft guns, a frying pan, a baseball bat and rocks.
The beef originally stemmed from Zachery allegedly calling the football team “garbage” after he lost money betting on the Gators.
Per the report, “[w]ide receiver Kadarius Toney and defensive tackle Kyree Campbell were recommended to UF’s Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution department for an ‘incident by holding and pointing what appears to be assault rifles (later determined to be airsoft rifles) at other individuals on campus.” Additionally, the website wrote, “[w]ide receivers Tyrie Cleveland, Rick Wells, tight end Kemore Gamble and quarterback Emory Jones were also recommended to the Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution department for lying to university police about the incident in question.”
Tight end C’yontai Lewis was also mentioned in First Coast News‘ report as having a “good relationship” with Zachery before ceasing that association, although it doesn’t appear he’s facing any university sanctions.
As for the confrontation that was the end result of the bad blood? It was apparently straight out of “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy.”
University police began their investigation after a witness called 911 in reference to a suspicious person. The witness said he saw 10 people arguing and believed they had guns. The witness added, “the weapons resemble assault rifles.”
The scene was captured on surveillance and cell phone video, the 17-page incident report states. The video shows “about 10–15 individuals, holding what appeared to be weapons,” according to the report.
Zachery, 21, and his friends were waiting for the football players near the dorms. The football players began to confront the group, but left in vehicles, the report states. As the group left, they could be heard yelling, “We coming back strapped,” the report states.
The other group returned and a confrontation ensued. One player reported the group had a baseball bat, a red laser being pointed at another player’s chest and another individual threatening “Come any closer, I’ll spray you.”
Zachery told police, he observed one football player holding “some sort of assault rifle and some others were [holding] rocks.” Police wrote, they didn’t believe Zachery’s story and thought he was minimizing the incidents he was describing, the report states.
According to the player, once they heard police sirens, and everyone left.
Video evidence also showed that one, unnamed football player was using a frying pan during the confrontation
Neither the university nor the football program have commented on the bizarre development. It should be noted that none of the football players involved have been charged with any sort of crime.
Cleveland led the Gators in receiving yards (410) and was second in receptions (22) last season, while Toney’s 15 catches for 152 yards were both fourth on the team. Campbell played in nine games in 2017, while Gamble took a redshirt his true freshman season. Jones was a four-star member of UF’s 2018 recruiting class.
As for Wells? This issue could prove worrisome based on his recent off-field past.
Wells was one of several Florida players suspended for the entire 2017 season for the misuse of scholarship money at a bookstore, with some nine players total caught up in making improper charges on student IDs and selling said items for cash. He was one of the four suspended players who returned to the team in late January.

They are going to continue to be a dumpster fire! I bet Mullen is thinking MS State looks like a really sweet gig about now.

LINK ]I Hate to Write This, But the News on Hill is "We Told You So" (GoPokes247)
I hate to do this, okay, I don't hate it that much because in this business you strive to be right and give your subscribers and readers the correct information. Go Pokes has probably been to as many events and games to see Daxton Hill and interview him as any media outlet.
We did not cover Nike's The Opening because Hill would have been the primary athlete we were there for and I was afraid it would border on recruiting stalking. I hate that. Some media outlets are going to cross the line and be totally unreasonable. We understand the fervor in the recruitment of Hill, but we will not stalk or become part of the process.
That said, we have accurately reported to you that Alabama (official visit June 15), Ohio State, and Oklahoma State have been the leaders. While Hill never lists favorites, I have sensed the Crimson Tide being a slight favorite with the two OSU's behind and Michigan next in line. Hill made it public this summer he would officially visit Michigan the weekend of Sept. 15 when they host SMU at the "big house."
We have been consistent about reporting that Hill would not end up at Oklahoma. The first real reinforcement of that opinion came in Frisco, Texas (same site of The Opening) a week after Dax was there for the Nike event by his older brother and Oklahoma State Big 12 rushing leader Justice Hill.
Hill was asked about his brother a lot, including what he would do if his brother ended up on the other side of the Bedlam rivalry at Oklahoma. "I'm not too concerned about that," Justice Hill said. "I don't think he'll be there (OU)."
Oklahoma State fans have been absolutely wrapped up in the recruiting of Dax Hill as they yearn to get a top player in state, and honestly, Dax Hill is one of the top prospects from a physical and talent standpoint in the history of the state and football recruiting, at least the high profile coverage of football recruiting.

Now, one of the new insiders on OU football at 247Sports Oklahoma site, OUInsiders is reporting similar news to what Justice said in Frisco. Brandon Drumm of OUInsiders wrote this in a notes column on that site on Wednesday:
"This isn't something I enjoy doing, but I am keeping it as real as I can with you all. I can say without question that OU isn't getting Dax UNLESS something drastically changes. I have spoken to numerous sources and all have said that OU has been informed that Dax won't be in Norman for the BBQ. As a matter of fact, one source told me, "Dax basically told OU he wouldn't be coming to Norman and that he is leaning to other places." One place that some feel Dax could be leaning to is Michigan, like I have reported on a couple of occasions. Dax is a hard read, though, so this is just an educated guess on my part."
As far as OU goes, I was told, "OU has moved on, for a lack of a better term. No one on the staff has even tried to talk with Dax since last Saturday when the conversation about his choices and visiting went down." The source added that things could change during the season, but that would have to come from Dax having interest. He, obviously, will always have a spot, according to one source.
This will no doubt, spark some more revelry and exchange between the bedlam fans. The bottom line on this, and I have sensed this virtually from the start of the recruiting process on Dax is that while his parents Derrick and Tia believe he has to make his decision on his college home, they did not want to see the brothers split by bedlam.
I'm always asked my thoughts on Hill, you know, what's the latest? Playing percentages, I would say Alabama 35 percent, Oklahoma State 25 percent, Ohio State 20 percent, Michigan 15 percent, any other school 5 percent.

Quote from UGA mod Rusty Mansell:
Tate Ratledge Highlights
Ratledge is the #37 player overall in the 2020 Composite rankings FWIW.
quote:
I am going to Crystal Ball 2020 OT Tate Ratledge to Alabama this morning. Some of you know I am very close to him being 5 minutes from me. He has NOT told me Alabama but a lot of people I trust around this have told me really likes Alabama. He talks a lot about them and his relationship with Brent Key and Alabama staff. I think UGA is still in this for sure, but right now I think behind the scenes he is leaning towards the Tide. He is a big very strong kid, should have a big junior season.

Mansell also said he believes Alabama leads by A LOT for these two 2020 WRs from the state of Georgia:

So many monster recruiters on this staff. Imagine if Saban would have gotten Chris Patridge too.
