ADS Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 While observers might consider linebacker a position of current weakness, Florida still repealed a scholarship offer to one of the nation’s standout high schoolers last month. Four-star recruit Deaysean Rippy is a star at Sto-Rox High in McKees Rocks, Pa. Rippy recorded 77 tackles and seven sacks as a junior, and he holds scholarship offers from top of the line programs like Alabama, Ohio State and Southern California. But Florida is noticeably absent from that list — no longer an option for Rippy after a tumultuous trip to Gainesville. The Gators originally offered Rippy while Urban Meyer was still at the helm. The outside linebacker was close with former defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and said he spoke with Meyer “a lot,” forming a solid relationship. But on June 18, while on a family-funded unofficial weekend trip to Gainesville, the Gators repealed Rippy’s offer. The withdraw came a mere three days after fellow outside linebacker Lorenzo Phillips orally committed to UF. “They really burned the bridge with me, just by the way that they handled everything down there,” he said.

PaulCrewe Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 John Papuchis......paging John Papushis. Think about this, without the conference change does this kid even consider us. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Get this kid in for a trip and show him Boys Town, tell him that during his time at NU he can speak there over and over to reach out to kids that messed up like he did. Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 This kid intrigues me because he appears to be a versatile baller that would find a place to play in Bo's defense. Looks like Florida treated him awfully...how about a call to the kid instead of making him pay $ and waste his time? With Tebow and Meyer gone, I would not be surprised to see Florida in the dumps for a few years. Quote Link to comment
Huskerbreeze Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 All we can do is introduce him to Husker Nation and let him know he will have a chance to compete! The Pelinis will get him ready to compete in the next level however. No matter which way he decides to go, Husker fans wish him well..... Quote Link to comment

With Tebow and Meyer gone, I would not be surprised to see Florida in the dumps for a few years. The way Florida treated him was BS. Should've told him BEFORE he flew down there on his own dime that they were full, his offer was rescinded, and he was now a fallback in case of decommit. Quote Link to comment

They are cousins, Doug has been talking up Colorado to Deaysean. I had a feeling they are related. Anyways, outside of them being cousins, what else is there about Colorado to talk up? Maybe that they are in the Pac 12 now? Seriously Quote Link to comment

Seriously I'm guessing there's plenty of playing time with a new staff and no allegiances to old depth charts, then again there will be a depth chart by the time Deaysean would get there. Sooooooooo, no, not much to talk up. Quote Link to comment
