'15 FL DT CeCe Jefferson

Much like with the Cowart situation, if you read all the reports out there you know somebody's lying. Gators DL coach just left for an NFL gig, and now dad is claiming they were not told...even though other people are reporting that CeCe knew for a week that the coach was leaving. The whole thing stinks. Again.

This is hilarious, and if it causes the Gators grief I hope this drags out for weeks before he signs with somebody else.

The Story:

Ok, Leo, CeCe's dad, called me and explained what's going on. I'll put it in bullet points to be as direct as I can....

-- Leo Jefferson is not refusing to sign his son's LOI

-- CeCe himself is not ready to sign and told his father that yesterday after his announcement.

-- Leo said that if CeCe said to sign and fax the letter to Florida, it would be signed and sent right now.

-- The Jefferson's found out that coach Williams was headed to the NFL from other coaches recruiting him because coach McElwain was calling around looking for a defensive line coach for a week. The Florida staff never told the Jeffersons Williams was leaving. They don't know coach Rumph at all.

-- Leo said that the in home visit with coach McElwain was rushed, they stayed for an hour and rushed out the door to see a 2016 prospect and only talked about the new dorms and the new facilities on the visit. The visit paled in comparison to the other in home visits.

-- Leo is a Gators fan he says, CeCe considers Florida his dream school but neither feels good about the staff or the changes at DL coach. Leo's wife doesn't want him to go to Florida and both parents felt CeCe should go away from home to grow up and get away from all the Gators fans in Baker County and his friends that might distract him. But he made it clear that if CeCe wants to go to Florida, they are on board.

-- Leo mentioned some concern about Foley being involved in the firing of assistant coaches and how involved he is in the program and that McElwain won't have the power at Florida that Saban, Freeze, Malzahn, Les Miles and others have at their schools.

-- He wouldn't tell me what school he and his wife preferred for CeCe.

-- He said the coaches at Florida wanted the letter signed by 8:30AM this morning so they could go on vacation. He said the only head coach of all the ones recruiting him that hasn't called as of 1PM ET is McElwain. Coaches from schools CeCe wasn't listing as finalists have all called but Florida has not called him.

-- He said he doesn't need his "ass kissed" but the staff should have considered being honest with them about the DL coach change and they haven't pursued CeCe nearly as hard as others and he's not sure why.

-- Finally he said "they aren't going on vacation anytime soon because we're not sending that letter".

What in the hell is McElwain doing? A 5-star DE says Florida is his dream school, your current class is in the bottom of the SEC, and you don't even call the guy this morning???

After the Cowart situation yesterday and Jefferson drama today, UF doesn't look real good. And McElwain looks like a complete idiot if what CeCe's dad is saying is true.

Sounds like mom and dad want him to go somewhere else so my bet is he ultimately ends up at Ole Miss or LSU. Would be a huge and embarrassing loss for the Gators if that happened.

lol. Wow. That's just amazing. Two absolute dumpster fires with two of the biggest targets on their board. Nicely done McElwain, you goofball.

Leo's story which jas changed twice in 4hrs. Clearly he wanted his son at Ole Miss or Bama but CeCe followed his heart and picked UF. It was reports on his last UOV to OM that he told a recruit he only came bc his dad wanted to go again.

Cece told a reporter at local station he knew about Williams possibly leaving a week ago.


Lastly do truly believe CJM hasn't contacted Leo and CeCe?

Who knows what to believe at this point?

I don't take pride in watching another program struggle. It's all cyclical and we each owe the devil his due. However, there's too much smoke behind the Jefferson and Cowart recruiting drama to believe there's not a fire behind them. CJM has his hands full.

Sounds like Leo met the Tuhoy's and their entourage.
