Jefferson says he will fax LOI tomorrow from school
- Thread starter GatorTheo
- Start date
No you can't.
I mean physically you could but then you would be involving yourself in a family matter. That never plays
well. You just have to wait it out and see what happens.
Honestly, this entire thing smells to me. Why didn't the daddy raise hell before NSD? Why did he attend?
It just doesn't add up to me.
UPDATE 9:39pm:[/B] My source just told me that the only way Cece Jefferson does not wind up a Gator is if Florida simply gets tired of the whole drama and tells him that they don't want him anymore because they don't want kids whose families aren't 100% in. But Cece is such a tremendous talent that I highly doubt that will happen. If Florida wants to turn away such an outstanding young player because of his father's stubbornness, then shame on them. But again: that is the ONLY[/B] way Cece Jefferson does not wind up in Gainesville when it's all said and done.
UPDATE 10:31pm:[/B] As an addendum to my last update: my source has said that UF is perfectly content to sit back and let the Cece Jefferson saga play itself out. So yes, Cece Jefferson will be a Florida Gator. Here's why. The whole mess- meaning everything you've read, seen and heard up to this point-appears to be nothing more than a cleverly constructed distraction of an old fashioned mother vs. father debate. Neither of them are changing their opinions on this matter. Luckily for Cece- and Gator fans- you only need the signature of one parent or legal guardian. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: his mother is just as stubborn in wanting Cece at Florida as his father is wanting Cece to go elsewhere, and she will sign the LOI (at some point). So we can all relax.

Something to add, schools like Texas, OU, ND, Ohio St., etc. are or is replacing coaches after NSD. In some of those cases the recruits are pissed because they feel misled. When it comes to CeCe that ain't the case because he's already said he knew at least two weeks ago. Something to think about for the people who think UF tried to lie to the family. One, UF was upfront with them. And two, coaches moving close to or after signing day is very common.
New Info from the Sun;
************************
On
Thursday, Jefferson told The Sun he wouldn't sign his son's letter
until the defensive line coaching situation at Florida was settled.
But on Friday, he sounded less resistant and said Jefferson's mother is free to sign and fax his LOI for him.
"I
don't have the letter," Jefferson said. "I'm not the only one in the
house. If she wants to sign it she can. At the end of the day, it's his
decision."

The comments from his father certainly seemed to indicate he was the main impediment. But more and more it seems to be CeCe himself.
Also, what his father is saying publicly and what he is saying to his son might be two different things.
UPDATE 3:58pm:[/B] Two different sources have given me an extremely upsetting piece of news. I'm not reporting the exact details about what happened as fact, because exact details are sort of conflicting and not totally clear, but each of them have told me that Cece's father has taken off with his son's letter of intent. Here's where it gets dicey. One source said Leo torched his son's LOI and then flushed the ashes down a toilet (for the record, the sheer lunacy and flair for the melodramatic required to do this makes me vacillate between losing hope in humanity and wondering if this really happened), and the other told me that he's simply hiding it and playing keep away from Cece. I tell you the specifics of what each one individually said because it illustrates just how far apart from each other they are, and yet there's a common denominator in what they've told me: Cece does not currently have possession of his own LOI. Both sources also told me that his dad saying he'd warmed up to the idea of Cece faxing in his LOI- both to my first source and to Zach Abolverdi- was his way of relaxing everybody around him, freeing him up to snatch the LOI and do whatever it was that he actually did with it to ensure that Cece wouldn't get his hands on it.
@cecejeferson7: Im a Gator and my LOI will be turned in soon,my dad and coach Collins had a long talk today
I'm kind of over this guy. Of course I hope he signs but it's "whatever" at this point. I'm done with the drama is all.
Hopefully he comes to Gville..if not, on to the Spring game.
