UF commit Shawn Davis reaches out to Miami

Jan 15, 2017

CanesInSight has learned that Miami safeties coach Ephraim Banda met with Shawn Davis all of Friday afternoon at Southridge.

Davis is a UF commit who was supposed to enroll last week, but was not able to qualify early. He reached out to Banda this week. Sources tell CanesInSight that Davis' family and DB coach believes that UF has handled the situation poorly, opening the door for the Canes. Davis is likely to take an official to Miami with his family over the next two weeks.

One more important note -- I'm told that Banda has met with administrators at Southridge about Davis' situation, as well as his aunt, who is a UM grad.

So according to [MENTION=12910]Brooklyndee[/MENTION] uf appears to not want to apply one of its Academic exemptions on Davis. That fleshes this out a bit as a possibility of what's going on.

I guess the questions would be is Davis willing to grey shirt at uf? If so then this is moot. If not, then, do we have an academic exemption we would be willing to apply to Davis' admission? And of course, would he be willing to come to UM?

How many exemptions does each team get? If we need one for Thomas it's a no brainier
Maybe he did reach out to our staff and asked if one might be available? Pete stuck to his guns..
Just throwing **** against the wall and seeing what sticks..pure speculation

According to [MENTION=12910]Brooklyndee[/MENTION] schools get four academic exemptions, but there are obviously some academic issues that can not be overcome. Brooklyndee was speculating that UF does not want to use one of their exemptions on Davis. If he wants in at UM, then he is a take according to Pete. I was simply asking if we had any academic exemptions left. My question about greyshirting was just a mistake on my part. Obviously, if he can't get in he can't greyshirt.

Davis can't be happy about that. I hope Miami is reaching out.

He has not signed yet....Wouldn't that be a signing day stunner. They might have to shut down their 24/7 and rivals page if that happens
