Copeland to UF!

Come back in a couple of weeks.
Most bizarre announcement ever. Every family member had UT and/or Bama gear, and when he announced his Mom walked off
Mullen deserves credit here, Saban came in hard as of late after losing Quay to uGA and the DT to TAMU
Not really. Even bigger was Justyn Ross going to Clemson over Bama. That is when Saban really turned up the heat.
Correct, that was the factor I left out. None the less Saban was on this hard today. Nice pull by the staff.
Hes an 18 yr old speaking on national television for the first time with an emotional decision and his support(mom) had just bailed on him. Give the kid a break
Yeah, your kid has a chance to get out of the hood and get a free ride to college, and possibly a chance to get paid to play football, damn you son!
I always get concerned about these types of gets. There are always a few on signing days. Hopefully they can all get on the same page. I think that the percentage of those that end up staying with their original program is low.
It looked bad. But she signed the letter and it went in right away. So it’s not like the couple and Max first class where they held out for a couple days
I will never understand how the maternal instinct doesn’t prevent this type of selfish behavior. How a parent could embarrass their child on such an important occasion is baffling. Welcome to Gator Nation Jacob!
YES! YES! YES! This is the main one I wanted and everything pointed to him going elsewhere this morning. The next coming of Percy Harvin! YES! YES! YES!

One thing you can say about him...he has incredible guts. Nobody in that room wanted him to pick Florida (sadgator personally loves the white chick who gasps behind him best).
To go your own way in the face of all that pressure shows you something about his determination and commitment. sadgator would not have had the strength to do something like that at that age. It is really impressive for a young man.
He certainly won sadgator over as a fan today....gonna root like hell for this kid....

Yep props. Already one of my favorites. He said he's been a UF fan for years and even though everybody around him clearly wanted something different he stood on his own and made his decision.
It gets funnier every time you watch it. She’s genuinely shocked.
