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?

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.
