There's all this talk that it was a "bump" but it's odd that he'd resign or be asked to resign for just a bump. That's a pretty minor recruiting violation, especially if it's true that all he did was say "hi" to a kid. I think Brian White did that as the RB coach, but UF self-reported (I think) and he was removed from the recruiting trail for a couple of days, or something like that.
