I can't remember who it was, but didn't we have some linemen form Mississippi a few years back? I thought I remembered one from Vicksburg. I wonder if anyone ever thought how all of this might impact recruiting?

Vicksburg-Warren School Superintended Lisa Durant-Swinford says the school has agreed to comply with the Florida Gators request, This article highlights a problem. The request didn't come from UF, it came from a third-party company that has a licensing agreement with UF. The company makes the call and UF gets the bad press. UF has had multiple licensing agreements over the years, and none of the prior companies felt the need to put the squeeze on high schools. I doubt the issue was even contemplated at the time that the last agreement was executed. -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
