2013 FB Kennard Swanson Lake Gibson

[Bull Martin]

If we think he's got a shot, I'd take it. I'd be sure to run it by our Admissions Massacre team first to make sure we had a solid outline of what needed to happen for him to get in.

 

If he signs, he wont be expected to show up on campus even if he qualifies.  If he signs and makes it here then great, but it would be a pleasant surprise.

Get this kid a tutor and sign him up.

appear to be grades,...

 

If UCF and UF are taking a pass, I dunno.

Let's see if LSU drops interest as well.  

 

That remark about hoping his spring grades being high enough, isn't that sort of what Hoover said to Dean Wormer? 

You remember how that worked out.

What's the risk, APR? Its not like we don't have the scholarships available. Sign the kid already, if he can't make it in, he doesn't come.  No worse off than we are now ...

[tampatony]

We're not counting on him. We have auggie Sanchez so it's not a big deal if he doesn't make it academically.. Offer the kid and see what it happens

Swanson changed the visit and put us first, UCF didn't cancel until they saw they were getting pushed back for us.

@gregauman: . @HemUnit DeMyer said nothing has changed about Swanson's academic status since visit to UCF was set. Didn't like being moved back for USF.

UCF pulls out of recruiting FB Kennard Swanson

By Paul Tenorio | Orlando Sentinel UCF Writer

UCF has pulled its name out of the hat for Lake Griffin fullback Kennard Swanson.

Swanson was originally scheduled to visit campus on Monday, but UCF

pulled back over the weekend. Swanson, who was committed to both LSU and

Florida, will visit USF, instead.

The major issues with the 6-foot, 245-pound back appear to be grades,

and those eligibility question marks appear to be what caused UCF to

opt out on adding Swanson to their class of 2013.

 

According to the Tampa Bay Times, Swanson’s

grades caused Florida to back off, but he was close enough to

eligibility to get some schools to check him out and see if spring grades would be high enough to make him eligible.

The Knights have a need at the H-back and fullback position, but added Georgia recruit Mario Mathis as a possible contender for the job. Mathis played both linebacker and tight end in high school, but will start off at UCF on the offensive side of the ball.

Swanson is set to visit USF now instead of coming to Orlando.

Pure propaganda from UCF. USF convinced Swanson to visit on Monday instead of going to UCF. UCF got pissed and tried to save face by announcing(NCAA violation) that they were out of the Swanson sweepstakes. Typical Kannigit crappola.

Swanson changed his visit putting USF before C. Florida. C. Florida responds by pulling out completely.

Now that is a pretty Pesamistic outlook from UCF..But very understandable..Like the Easop's Fable..The fox and the Grapes..
