Well he's certainly kept the spotlight on himself for several days now.I'll bet the coaches are tired of it. I know I am.

Still no LOI, even though he was at the basketball game with DanielImatorhebhe and Tyler Jordan. Martez Ivey was there, too but I thinkhe was sitting elsewhere. At one point, Jefferson was projected andacknowledged on the O'Dome screens. (As someone mentioned on Twitter,if the people who did that are not part of the UAA, it won't be anNCAA infraction, but if they are...sheesh). Supposedly the RowdyReptiles chanted "SEND THE LET-TER!"

The rumors are that he got the new LOI when he visited campus, hismother has signed it, and it'll show up some time this week.


What a bunch of drama.

        I can't understand why the coaches can't pick up the phone and
        make a call to the Jeffersons or make another in home pitch.
        Maybe they don't really want him?

        Honestly, this is a sack of garbage.  Jefferson said
        yesterday that he and his mother both want him to go to
        Florida.  He said on a radio station yesterday he was going
        to send the LOI this morning.  A reporter from Baker County
        said that Jefferson totally is a Gator and will send in the
        LOI.  Jefferson supposedly told ESPN himself he knew Williams
        was leaving.

        I have no doubt in my mind this is 100% the father.  He first
        told various people that he would NOT allow CeCe to send the
        fax and then told the Gainesville Sun he wouldn't sign the
        LOI. Other places have quoted the elder Jefferson saying that
        he wanted CeCe to go somewhere else but wouldn't explain why,

other times it's because he just wanted CeCe "elsewhere".Everyone looked super happy when CeCe announced; there was

        none of those shocked looks or telling stares like Gerald
        Willis' mother when Willis announced he was going to UF and
        the year or two before, when his half-brother announced he
        was going to Bama (the mother wanted them both at LSU).

<https://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=1&pr_key=133592>
            has yet to sign his letter of intent for Florida
            <https://Florida.rivals.com> and his father, Leo
            Jefferson, explained why on Thursday.


            Leo said CeCe himself is not ready to sign it.

            "He told me that yesterday after his announcement," Leo
            said, adding he would have been glad to sign and fax the
            letter to Florida if that's what his son wanted.

            The holdup, Leo said, is because Gators defensive line
            coach Terrell Williams is reportedly leaving after just
            one month to accept the same position on the Miami
            Dolphins staff. Williams will reportedly be replaced by
            Texas defensive line coach Chris Rumph.

            "The Florida staff never told us he was leaving," Leo
            said. "We don't know (Rumph) at all."

            Leo said that the in-home visit with Gators coach Jim
            McElwain
            <https://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewcoach.asp?Coach=214>
            was rushed, they stayed for an hour and rushed out the
            door to see a 2016 prospect and only talked about the new
            dorms and the new facilities on the visit. The visit
            paled in comparison to the other in home visits,
            according to Leo.

            Though Florida is CeCe's "dream school," neither he nor
            Leo felt good about the Gators staff or the changes at
            defensive line coach, according to Leo. Leo's wife
            doesn't want him to go to Florida and both parents felt
            CeCe should go away from home to grow up and get away
            from all the Gators fans in Baker County and his friends
            that might distract him.

            Regardless, "if CeCe wants to go to Florida, we are on
            board," Leo said.

            Leo also mentioned concern about Gators athletic director
            Jeremy Foley being involved in the firing of assistant
            coaches and how involved he is in the program. Leo
            doesn't believe that McElwain will have the power at
            Florida that Nick Saban
            <https://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewcoach.asp?Coach=1924>,
            Hugh Freeze
            <https://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewcoach.asp?Coach=1721>,
            Gus Malzahn
            <https://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewcoach.asp?Coach=1788>,
            Les Miles
            <https://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewcoach.asp?Coach=320>
            and others have at their schools.

            Leo wouldn't divulge what school he and his wife prefer
            for CeCe.

            "The coaches at Florida wanted the letter signed by 8:30
            this morning so they could go on vacation," Leo said.
            "(McElwain) was only head coach of all the ones
            recruiting him that hasn't called as of 1 p.m. Coaches
            from schools CeCe wasn't listing as finalists have all
            called, but Florida has not called him."

            The NCAA prohibits coaches from publicly commenting on
            unsigned prospects.

            Clearly, the Jeffersons aren't impressed with the lack of
            communication over the defensive line coach change or the
            recent actions of the staff.

            "The staff should have considered being honest with us
            about the (coach) change," Leo said. "They haven't
            pursued CeCe nearly as hard as others and I'm not sure why."

            Leo added, "they aren't going on vacation anytime soon
            because we're not sending that letter".

                I've got a case of PBR (you'll have to pick up in
                Port St. Lucie) that Jefferson ends up at auburn.
                Too much stuff going on here about a "package deal"
                with him and Cowart.
