CeCe's father speaks (via Aubie follower)

The Cece Jefferson situation....by Mike Farrell...
Ok, Leo, CeCe's dad, called me and explained what's going on. I'll put it in bullet points to be as direct as I can....
-- Leo Jefferson is not refusing to sign his son's LOI
-- CeCe himself is not ready to sign and told his father that yesterday after his announcement.
-- Leo said that if CeCe said to sign and fax the letter to Florida, it would be signed and sent right now.
-- The Jefferson's found out that coach Williams was headed to the NFL from other coaches recruiting him because coach McElwain was calling around looking for a defensive line coach for a week. The Florida staff never told the Jeffersons Williams was leaving. They don't know coach Rumph at all.
-- Leo said that the in home visit with coach McElwain 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.
-- Leo is a Gators fan he says, CeCe considers Florida his dream school but neither feels good about the staff or the changes at DL coach. 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. But he made it clear that if CeCe wants to go to Florida, they are on board.
-- Leo mentioned some concern about Foley being involved in the firing of assistant coaches and how involved he is in the program and that McElwain won't have the power at Florida that Saban, Freeze, Malzahn, Les Miles and others have at their schools.
-- He wouldn't tell me what school he and his wife preferred for CeCe.
-- He said the coaches at Florida wanted the letter signed by 8:30AM this morning so they could go on vacation. He said the only head coach of all the ones recruiting him that hasn't called as of 1PM ET is McElwain. Coaches from schools CeCe wasn't listing as finalists have all called but Florida has not called him.
-- He said he doesn't need his "arse kissed" but the staff should have considered being honest with them about the DL coach change and they haven't pursued CeCe nearly as hard as others and he's not sure why.
-- Finally he said "they aren't going on vacation anytime soon because we're not sending that letter".
The end.

That's my reaction. I have no idea what else to say or think. No vacation for McElwain, though.

Wow. True or NOT, McElwain is going to get hammered from Gator fans if this kid doesn't end up in Gainesville.

I'm willing to bet that Leo and mom like Les, but Cece wants to make what he perceives to be a bigger splash.

He can't end up in Gainesville if his dad is blasting the whole staff.

CeCe's dad is basically saying florida is not trying as hard as the others. wink-wink.

First year recruiting big time, hopefully they give him some breathing.
Not all fans can be like LSU fans, right?

Sounds like a dicktroll and I hope our corners smash him when we play UF or wherever the hell he ends up. Talk about primadonna jesus.
Posted on 2/5/15 at 1:29 pm to idlewatcher
if our corners smash him it'd probably be some kind of participation penalty. i'd still green-light it, though.

Do we have an extra scholarship or not? If we do we've got to do everything imaginable to pull him!

Did the D-line coach leave yesterday afternoon?
Posted on 2/5/15 at 1:30 pm to clamdip
So...if he calls today and says he wants to sign with LSU, is he a take?
