I agree he should come back. He is God at Florida. But his stock won't get any better next season. He took 1 snap under center that ended up being a pass play all year long. That won't change next season unless he demands Meyer change the offense to do so. Meyer won't do it, however. He comes first, not Tebow. So in terms of getting paid as early as possible, he might as well come out in case he would sustain a severe injury (which is not out of the question based on his style of play).
Some more... Georgia Knowshon Moreno - RB Matthew Stafford - QB South Carolina Jared Cook - TE Captain Munnerlyn - CB Vanderbilt D.J. Moore - CB Alabama Glen Coffee - RB Andre Smith - OT Arkansas Andrew Davie - TE Auburn Sen'Derrick Marks - DT Jerraud Powers - CB
CUM probably makes all his players sign a contract saying if they are any good they can't leave early after his '06 team got gutted by Jrs leaving early for the NFL.
There will be quite a few more players that will declare. Im sure they were just waiting for the season to end. Spikes and Harvin will probably leave.
There aren't many. Players have until Thursday to decide. Updated: Alabama: Andre Smith, OT Glenn Coffee, RB Arkansas: Andrew Davis, TE Auburn: Sen'Derrick Marks, DT Jerraud Powers, CB Florida: none Georgia: Matthew Stafford, QB Knowshon Moreno, RB Kentucky: none LSU: Ricky Jean-Francois, DT Mississippi State: none Ole Miss: none Tennessee: none South Carolina: Jared Cook, TE Captain Munnerlyn, CB Emanuel Cook, S - don't know if he is official. Reportedly dropped out of school, though Vanderbilt: D.J. Moore, CB Declared they are staying: Ciron Black, OG, LSU Gino Atkins, DT, Georgia Terrance Cody, DT, Alabama Eric Norwood, DE, South Carolina Tim Tebow, QB, Florida Unknown so far: Charles Scott, RB, LSU Percy Harvin, WR, Florida Brandon Spikes, LB, Florida Jermaine Cunningham, DE, Florida Asher Allen, CB, Georgia Greg Hardy, DE, Ole Miss Antonio Coleman, DE, Auburn Trevard Lindley, DB, Kentucky
Spikes' teammate claims Spikes will return. http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20090111/BREAKINGNEWS/90111011/1086 Harvin himself said he is "leaning" toward returning. http://www.gatorsports.com/article/20090111/NEWS/901110951/1090?Title=Tebow___I_m_coming_back_ Seems like much like the gators recent basketball, they may be enjoying it enough to make another run at it. I'd still be surprised to see Harvin back.
Tebow will not be back....he is going to Africa to help children learn about the internet... grow crops on their own, and build nuclear weapons. He is the greatest person I have ever not met. He is the greatest!
