I'm happy this little saga has ended and Elam is back in the fold. But, does he have to be #22?
Isn't that number sacred by now?

Elam (6-0, 210, No. 1 on The Big Board <http://pbgametime.com/recruiting/big_board/> ) recently visited <http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/highschoolbuzz/2009/10/05/matt-elam-on-tenne ssee-its-an-option/> Tennessee and said Monday he was still favoring West Virginia, but after a two-hour conversation with Meyer, he said he is done taking visits and considering other schools. Elam Elam "I talked to my coach a little," Elam said, referring to Meyer. "We talked about the safety situation and our relationship. "I committed for a reason. I'm not going to back down. It's all Florida." He is now signing every text message, "#22 UF BOUND." Elam <http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/highschoolbuzz/2009/10/02/elam-sounds-wide-o pen-possibly-favoring-west-virginia/> started looking around in part because he was concerned about being one of four safeties committed to the Gators. One thing tying him back to Florida, though, was his relationship with Meyer. Meyer coached Abram Elam, Matt's brother, at Notre Dame. If you want further proof that Elam is Florida-bound, I asked him if Lane Kiffin was going to be mad at him and he responded: "Oh well, I'll just beat him." So, there you go. It's final. For now.
