'10 FL ATH Matt Elam

[vols5790]

We need Elam just as bad as we need Luc. If Janzen is gone(looking bad) he will no doubt be a day one starter. Heck, even if he JJ stays he may start along side him if he can beat out Myles.

His brother just lost the game for the Browns.

i was being serious i have jus started following recruiting this close and i didnt know exactly what he was talkin about i took it as CUM and staff demanded him to visit or else.

well they have some leverage over him

(they can gi recruit other safties or even drop his scholly)

so while they cannot physically make him go they can do other things to "influence" him to go

 

[Back2BackGator]

i never knew a coaching staff could demand a player to visit

Why not? Our coaching staff is getting tired of his games and when he didn't set up an OV with us initially they got upset and told him he had to give us the last visit. He then set up his official visit for the FSU game and all seemed good. Now he cancels his visit. I have no idea where he is going but I am sick and tired of this game. We need to just take Tony Jefferson and tell Elam that he can go somewhere else. Jefferson is there to be had and he is almost as good as Elam and may develop into a better player.

To me this is a clear sign that he won't be a Gator. What do you think? I am thinking he may end up at WVU.

Only thing I've heard was WVU was in play also has his EE package complete for them as well. If he shows up for either Pitt or Rutgers game I think he's a Mountaineers.

 

[Volfan_TrappedN_KY]

This is only good for the Vols

Why anyone would want to play fot Bill Stewart, other than him being a nice guy, blows my mind.

 

[RespectfulGator]

Still not worried. I've heard nothing to believe he will not be a gator. Just some more rumors that I don't believe to be true.

pressure of having to make the choice between UT, UF and relationship with Meyer may get him to WVU by default.

 

[ocoeerivervol]

Sounds like Matt doesn't really won't to tell anybody no.

 

[Probably_in_Class]

Picking WVU over UT or UF would be ridiculous...

Then why commit to Meyer in the first place.
Your grasping at Straws

How? Kid committed over a year ago and history with Meyer plus all the "stuff" with UT so IMO WVU is the easy way out.

even the gators here have to accept this....

Matt Elam is not solid to the Gators despite what their fans would have you believe. I don’t think he is leaning anywhere particularly but a recent visit to Georgia seems to have put even more doubt into his head as to how committed he is to playing for Florida. Look for West Virginia to be a player here as Elam already has a teammate committed there in WR/CB Robert Clark. Tennessee has offered Clark as well so there is certainly still a possibility of both playing for the Volunteers.

The Recruiting Fix

Good read... IMO since he's an EE he's going to WVU if he decommits.

 

[Lord Vader]

Vol lock if he decommits...

 

[Escape Goat]

Vol lock if he decommits...

I sure hope so, he would be a hell of a pick up. I'm really interested in what Dixon is planning on doing as well. Which one do you think is more game ready next year?

 

[Lord Vader]

Elam...

 

[bornbleddinorange]

I believe so too Elam looks to be a stud

The Recruiting Fix

Clark doesn't look that good. Is he worth a scholarship just to get Elam? Doesn't seem like this staff's mode of operation to offer someone to get someone else. But maybe Elam's worth it....

It is not Bill Stewart. It is Doc Holliday who coached Reggie Nelson at Florida and now is the RC at WVU

Going to WVU will end up costing him millions in the draft. If he wants to be a top pick someday he better stick to an SEC school.
