    SEC makes you sit out a year if you transfer within the conference..

    Also it appears a large part of his leaving was suspension for weed presumably.. LSU can possibly fight to have that imposed if he's even academically eligible.. this will hurt his draft stock for sure. Had he returned the LSU staff would have gone to bat for him with NFL teams. Leaving for a yearly opponent, well, can't see them holding back on an honest assessment of his problems.

    Just a terrible decision by Arik. He got used by Florida and listened to the wrong advice. He'll have to accept his consequences.

    Deuces often can mean peace out, but just as often means bye or see ya, which I believe is what Jack Bech was saying. Jack will likely gain weight to be a flex tight end replacing Arik at LSU.

    What @Brian said. He’s saying bye to Gilbert and he’s probably taking over the position next year with Kole Taylor.

    Thanks, but I am not Kiki old. I don't need a translator to translate what the 1st translator said. Well not yet anyway.

    Reading FU will have 5 other TE's on roster. Sounds pretty crowded and for a guy allegedly sensitive, not sure that was the best place for him to land. Course the three behind pitts may be blockers and he has a jump on the 2 incoming freshman. Who knows...

    Actually, Fl is pretty wide open. They have an American Governor. Doesn't matter, if he has to sit out a year that means he will play one year in 2022 and then leave for the NFL even though he isn't ready. Fuggem and feed him fishheads

    Regardless, aint what it used to be. They been closin beaches during peak times (spring break) pretty regular to prevent the kids from spreading.

    Will add, much of that controlled at local gov level.
