Building a bridge or even offering a guy with WPL's measurables, even if he was a raw talent, could be construed, in some circles, as actions that would benefit the program...

Sometimes it is good to build bridges with high school coaches. It can pay dividends in the long run. I recall that Wondy Pierre-Louis was essentially homeless and had not received offers, UF gave him a home and a fresh start to his life. Perhaps one day, Wondy's high school coach will be coaching the next Emmitt Smith and that gives Florida the edge. Even if not, it seems like a decent thing to do. -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
