Bruce Black told me Wednesday that it is a 90 percent certainty that his son, strong safety Ahmad Black, is leaving early for the NFL Draft. He said the other top junior players from Lakeland — offensive linemen Maurkice and Mike Pouncey and tailback Chris Rainey — also are planning to leave.
“The Pounceys are definitely going to the NFL,” Bruce Black said. “Chris Rainey says he’s coming out, but I’ve advised him to stay (for his senior season). He’s a little too small right now, but he wants to come out.”
Ahmad Black also is considered small by NFL (and college) standards, but Bruce Black said it may be time for his son to move on. It sounds like this is a decision being made by the senior Black.
“I would let Ahmad stay if they would show him some respect,” Bruce Black said. “I don’t think coach Urban Meyer respects my son. If he did, Ahmad would have started the first game (against Charleston Southern) instead of (sophomore) Will Hill. Coach Meyer favors certain players, and Ahmad isn’t one of them.

I'm embarrassed for Ahmad Black. Parents need to let their 20 something year olds speak for themselves.

A natural human bias, don't you think all coaches favor some guys at some point? Good post though, I wanted to hear about UF guys leaving for the NFL.

Almost as much of an entitled douche as Moody

irony
Demands respect, yet speaks for his adult son and talks about what he would "let" that adult son do.

It bothered me the way he said that. His son is an adult, he shouldn't have to 'let' him do anything.

Also not sure those other players wanted him announcing their intentions for them....

wow, what an immature guy. a more talented player starts ahead of your son and you go on a rant of how everyone wants to leave. no way Rainey would come out as a red shirt soph who should have a big year next year and if Black does come out he will not be drafted right now

Tebow has a crying jag on the field. Urban in the ER a few hours later. Strong bolts for Louisville. Now the team is fracturing.

My first thought, and who the hell is Bruce Black? does he fancy himself the Gatornaughts' unofficial agent or something? This isn't high school anymore where I'm sure he yelled and screamed "put my son in coach" from the stands every game.
Bottom Line: he wants his son to go pro so he can make money, not because he thinks his kid is ready.
And that just makes me

You got a problem with that?

But to be fair, Ahmad is also very good. His dad just needs to learn that his little baby isn't necessarily the best player on the team anymore. And you better believe it's like that in the NFL. Is he going to call out Belicheck or Sparano because they aren't letting his son play safety?

You know, it could be completely true, but this is one topic that just never comes out right.
