Makes you wonder

This article makes you wonder about how we judge the talent we bring in. Cam Newton was recruited as a TE?? This could explain our lack of reloading the last couple of years. I think DJ was a multi threat QB and worked well in our offense so I'm not buying CMR remarks about him fitting into the style of O we run.

Yeah, I heard that at his press conference too. Well.....he probably would have been a good TE as well. :blush:

Yeah, I heard that and knew that it was going to be a matter of time until someone would somehow come back to coaching. I am guessing a lot of schools recruited Newton as a tight end. I have a bunch of buddies that are die hard lizard fans. Many of them have stated that if Newton had stayed at UF, he would have been a TE. I think our coaching staff has done a pretty dang good job of evaluating QB talent.

I believe if Meyer really thought Newton was going to be a great player, he would have found a way to get him back. I mean he got Rainey back after he threatened to kill. If he really had wanted Newton back, or thought he would end up being a Heisman trophy winner, I believe he would still be playing for UF.

I will say this. I have a good buddy who has some insight at UF, he told me that Newton did indeed get caught cheating on an exam, and that did have something to do with his dismissal.

Yeah, I have a feeling it might be a good thing that we didn't recruit him. There seems to be a lot of questionable stuff going on with him. Everyone keeps saying that it is just a ploy to bring him down. Those happen, but they usually only happen when something leaks.

Don't think it is going to hit the fan soon enough for us, but I am almost definitely going to guarantee something is going to develop from this. Seems a lot like the Reggie Bush situation.

Not sure I can agree with all of this.

Appears to me that UF found a way to "drop" a line or two. Maybe another school in the SEC did the same. SEC has a history of "ratting" on each other. Remember Tennessee and Alabama, not that long ago.

Another thing to consider . . . how many of us can truthfully say that we don't have a skeleton or two in our past.

If they have the damn evidence, show it. Don't drag this story on forever. NCAA will cause our conference a lot of problems over this issue. Wait and see.
