Apparently, Chad Grier told reporters that follow Gator football that Will wanted to stay. I am pretty sure it was not Will's choice.
Grier to transfer?
- Thread starter GatorGray
- Start date
Another reporter (Hollywood Bob) is saying that Grier and his dad had a meeting with Mac.
Grier's dad wanted Mac to say that Grier would be the starter Game 7, and Mac wouldn't guarantee it. Dad said, "fine, we're out."
FTR, calling Bob a reporter is being kind.

No, no, no, no....have you not been paying attention to the all truth telling noles? They are experts in this area....
McElwain on Del Rio:
“He’s been having some really good practices out there. I think you guys were probably updated even through kind of the summer when he came here. He was a little bit of a spark plug out there, a guy who kind of knows how to go about it. So he’ll be a guy obviously heavily in the mix as we move forward. We’re sure excited he’s here.”

The problem is that Harris got worse as the season progressed. There are two schools of thought as to why. One is that his repertoire is very limited, and once DCs figured him out, defending him was easy. The second is that he is one of those Driskel like guys. The more the pressure, the worse they perform.
I think the truth is a bit of both.
I will be very surprised, and a little bit panicked, if he is the QB next year.

Former Gators QB Will Grier did not get full release from scholarship. He's banned from transferring to other SEC schools, maybe more

So today during his press conference, McElwain says Demarcus Robinson is going pro.
THEN
Several hours later
Demarcus Robinson tweets he didn't tell anyone that.
This is going to be interesting.

McElwain, Dixon and Robinson all met and agreed he should go pro. And he was excited by it.
So either he's a goof or... wait, no, that's it. That's the one.
You put an awful lot of faith on "reporters" who are often of victim of a "canary trap." They know what the UAA wants them to know and nothing else.
Whatever buddy. The guy I know has been pretty reliable.
I am pretty sure that if McE wants Robinson gone, he let him know.
Robinson, for all his seemingly great talent, has been a bit of a goof his whole career. That includes the tutelage of two head coaches and three OCs. He was suspended four times in three years.
McElewain doesn't want Robinson back and I don't blame him. He's constantly getting himself suspended and although he has all the talent in the world he loafs. Robinson pretty much removed himself from the team and his future intentions by his actions on and off the field.
Before the season started just about everybody knew this would be the last year of college ball for Taylor and Robinson. Their hasn't been any surprises yet about who has gone pro etc.

So you two understand the difference between McElwain saying, "I don't want Demarcus Robinson to return to the team because of his attitude and off-the-field issues" and "Demarcus Robinson decided to go pro?"
Come on. I know you two aren't nearly as bright as you think you are, but surely you must be able to discern the difference between those two statements and the implications behind them.
Yes?

Demarcus Robinson and the coaches all knew this guy was going pro before the season started. He continually gets suspended and then ever since the Bama game he is nowhere to be found. He hasn't been with the team at all and has basically removed himself from the team. He's already told the coaches he was going pro. He's just upset that he didn't get to make a big deal about it and draw attention to his "big" announcement. It's kind of funny.
So now you deny that McElwain wants Robinson to leave the team?
Which is it?
Both things can be true you simpleton. They are not mutually exclusive truths.
McElwain can want Robinson to leave because he's more trouble than he's worth.
Robinson can want to go pro.
The question is why is McElwain not saying, "I don't want Robinson on the team?"
Too guys that I'd not be sorry to see leave. One is DeRob and the other is a duplicitous mouthpiece. 
1. Everybody with a functioning brain thought that DeRob was gone after 2015. (multiple reasons)
2. Everybody that's a Gator fan is not sorry that he's (4x suspended) apparently going Pro.
3. IMO - Only the twits and/or dweebs are, or would be, making a big deal outta it....
In 2015 DeRob was targeted 75 times but only had 47 receptions, only 5 of his catches went for 20+ yds. He barely broke 500 receiving yards and he only scored 2 TD's and he had 1 fumble. A freakin' true Fr vastly out played him. IMO, as a Pro, someone is going to be taking a big risk when drafting him, but that's me. So, I don't see him as any great loss for the Gator's 2016 team, and I'm rather glad that he's gone....

Careful what you wish for: DR averaged more yds per game than any UF receiver, and avg. 4.7 receps/game to AC 2.5. Also losing DR, KT, and Jake M is nearly 1/2 of all receptions. Callaway was electric but will probably garner more coverage without the leading receiver out there.
You don't understand, the guys on the bench are always better, its fan logic. Don't get me wrong, I thought Robinson was an immature clown. But to act like he won't be missed on the field, even a little bit, is just ignorant. He's the most talented receiver we have. Calloway is a better player, but not as talented. The good news is that receivers aren't hard to find in this state and good ones play early, so he CAN be replaced. Will he be replaced is another question.
So 62.6% of the passes thrown his way were complete? That's considerably higher than the % of completions when any other receiver was the target.
I agree he has more talent than any other wr on the roster. That said, he vastly under-performed his talent. He often gave up on routes, consistently ran sloppy routes, occasionaly short armed the ball, carried the ball after a catch like a loaf of bread and was an undisciplined mess at practice. And for all those bad habits, he still we the leading wr on the roster, at least by some measures.
You said it exactly right that Callaway is the best football player, comparing the two.
BTW, TTFWIW but this is the consistent rumor I have heard from several sources, including a well regarded reporter. Not named Hollywood Bob. (Also, I hesitate to post a rumor from a guy with this screen name. I do not know him and given his name, do not want to know him) And another player, who I will not name as he is still part of the team, was supposedly Grier's source of the drug.
No doubt. The fact that he had all those issues, missed multiple games, and was still our second leading receiver says a lot about what isn't on the roster now. We can replace him, but my bet is it will have to come from another freshman. Not really seeing it with some of the other dudes.
Can and will...two different things. I think all players are capable of being replaced on some level. What I was getting at is due to all his issues he can be replaced, doesn't necessarily mean I think he will be or that it will come from anybody on the bench, what have they shown? I think our hopes of replacing him will come from some of the guys we've recruited, especially the EE's.
The bad news is, by all appearances, Florida isn't going to sign any of the guys who are really head-turners.
meH.
I claim no authorship or inside knowledge for the rumor. I can find several threads on several sites that contend the same thing.
IOW, the rumor is public information.
So what? Public information isn't the standard.
If you want to delete your post then tell me and I'll delete my quote of it.
nah. You are the lawyer, but isn't the standard knowingly asserting false information that disparages the character of another person? As I said, I have heard the rumor enough to report on it here, so in my mind it is not demonstrably false. Plus we KNOW he took PEDs. He said so. All we are speculating on is the kind.
Thanks for the offer though

Just another slow, tape measure champ that ended up a failed take by Chump.
