He seems to be taking it well on his Twitter account.

Gaines' Twitter.

The article did say this:

"Mosley said that Florida coaches expressed on Friday that they still have interest in Gaines (they did after all verbally offer him last spring when they passed through Nash Central High) but that interest isn’t to the point of accepting a verbal commitment."


I read this as well so Florida coaches did visit the kid at school & 'verbally offered him"?

What does that mean? Was it a tentative offer with stipulations about grades or Senior season performance on the field ? The articles does say that Florida is still interested , but wants to see more from him.

Florida has met & personally visited Gaines & gave him a 'verbal offer'(?).

Looked at his 247 profile....he's not a bad player. Fringe 4* guy. Has offers from all the ACC basically aside from Clemson/FSU.

As long as this is legit, I hope he has a great college career. I can't trust anything after the USC kid who "saved" someone then ended up not even having a pool in his apt complex

Damn.

Its easy to say he should have known, but he is young and its easy to get caught up when you think a dream is reaching realization.

I know that VT called him up on Saturday and said, if you still want to talk we are still interested.


Twist. VT did all of this to scare off the competition.
