The Rucker thread doesn't say much. Kid was an academic risk that Mullen wasn't willing to take. sounds like it was a BIG risk, not just the usual level Mullen ignores. He wasn't expected to sign with UF after he didn't in December. Signing with Deon was definitely his best option.

also noted in that thread is the fact that Leonard Manuel is still floating around.... Not with any team at all

Yep. They'll take a guy who is COMPLETELY OUT OF FOOTBALL as long as he has 4 stars or more.

Why do they have a stick up their *** re Lawrence? Has Florida played Clemson, ever? All Lawrence did was beat the **** out of us and fsu the last 3 years - you’d think there’d be some sort of appreciation. They can’t really think their fringe 4th rounder is a better qb than probably the best qb prospect since Peyton.

Also - Why didn’t Colt Brennan get more Heisman votes than Tim Tebow in 2007? More yards, more touchdowns, 12-0 record. Stats matter, right?

Yes, according to the Gaytors, we should eliminate the voters from the equation, and simply give the Heisman to the guy who has the most touchdown passes.

Seems reasonable.

If Trask had finished 2nd, the Gaytors AD could have changed the UiF "rules on who gets a statue" to include Heisman runners-up. Hey, it worked for Ohio Taint this year, getting into the Big 10 Championship Game.

I blame Trask. If only he had given a Tebow-like rah-rah speech after one of his four losses, maybe there would be more grounds to build a statue.

I think the Gaytors should erect a new "FOUR" monument. Best 4-loss team ever. Best 4th place Heisman finisher ever. Best performance by 4th stringers in a blowout bowl loss ever.

Yeah - but why? Is it really just as simple as blind faith to "the brand?" I mean, going beyond how pathetic it is to even care about the margins between the 2d-4th place finishers in the Heisman vote - how many winners lost 3 pre-bowl games? With one of those losses coming at home, where he threw multiple picks, against a 3 win team the last regular season game of the year. Maybe, just maybe, some voters watched that LSU game and came to the realization that Lawrence (who did not lose a single regular season game in 3 seasons) might be a better representative of the values of the Heisman Trust.

No argument here man. Just saying what I’ve seen in comments there.
