SFP, if you want to bash Miles, then please do it elsewhere.

We realize you don't like the way the situation was handled.

I would need a UF fan to confirm this.


Also, this will all be nothing once people from the rant stop stirring the pot about it.

He;s a 3 star lineman that got dealt a slightly raw deal because of a series of highly unlikely events.

What prevents other coaches from saying, "How does your son really know that his coach won't bolt for a better gig/NFL job?"

porter does not agree

and we don't know if this may affect recruiting in the future, esp if we're going up against mack or urban (urban is much more likely) for a recruit

"How do you really know that Urban will be at UF in 3 years and that your son won't end up arrested like half of the kids he's signed?"

Im bringing Saban up because he does this all the time. Im assuming that Urban would use that against Saban. Its a nonissue obviously since Saban continues to land top class after top class.

Or do you think Urban would only say this about Miles and not Saban?

You act like Miles is the first to ever do this shite. Didn't Saban cut a couple of kids last year and didn't even offer a grayshirt? Give it a rest.

Flask,

I'm not for the bashing of coaches or players on this board. I'm pretty sure I've made that evident, but there is no way to spin this in a positive light. I'm really tired of people trying to do it too. If this kid was never made aware of a greyshirt possibility, there is nothing "slightly raw" about this. I don't like how now he's just a "three star" lineman so it's a little more excusable either. We jerk a not in people's arse around here when they start stargazing and jumping on coaches for taking lower star guys. Now, we're using the low star ranking to defend the decision.

This is the first and last comment I'll make on this situation because people are using it to push their Miles bashing agenda, but I'm not gonna call the situation pretty pink when it's covered in shite brown either.

ETA: SFP, if Urban is having to use some horseshite tactic like this, he's must really be uncomfortable with the status of his program. Nah...I didn't thinks so either.
