Themnot being able to talk to him is funny to me. I’ve seen it firsthand, albeit it years ago. I’m good friends with Xavier Lee from back home. When he was being recruited we went to the UF FSU game that year in the swamp cuz he got tickets from UF. It was an unofficial but we were in the recruiting area, got food, escorted on the field pregame coaches were coming up to him right and left. Zook came up to him for 10-15 mins, heck even the FSU caches came across the field pregame to talk to him and say hi. The UF host kept trying to get the FSU coaches to leave.
I was wearing my UM hat and kept getting told to take it off or I wouldn’t be allowed to stay, X was wearing a Texas hat lol. At one point I told the lady to relax, me wearing a UM hat isn’t influencing your recruits and it’s not my fault you guys blew a lead against us this year. 2003 comeback game that year. She just glared and let it go.
One of the many reasons I can’t stand UF and their complex.
