From reading the message board, this message board, before the hire I do. Reading articles on the man and everyone who has ever worked with him I do. I asked the question, I didn't answer it. Did he do shady things to help UL when he first came on board? Is that who he is?
If you want to hear what the UF message board thinks about this subject here you go

Has Mr. Jay Walker given his take on all of this yet?
As somebody who isn't anywhere close to being an insider, I would say no.
This issue(s) is/are what seems to have happened in the transition.
From what I gather from folks with much more intimate knowledge of the program than myself, it seems CBN made assurances to UL regarding staffing and players.
Now, from what I am reading on Gator messages boards and in Gainesville media outlets, it appears the Gator athletic program has some issues. More specifically, the football program has a problem not only with hard infrastructure, but with its soft infrastructure as well.
The support staff in place was severley lacking. Obviously, coaching was an issue, as was recruiting (to the extent I actually read comments from Gator supporters that they hoped Napier brought more UL players with as they were willing to sacrifice some talent for some character).
I think CBN got into a situation that was much worse than he thought (at Florida), so he Plan B'd things, and went back on those assurances he made to his old team.
Right now, we are at 1 player transferring to Florida, 3 in the portal, and a fourth who decommitted to UL and signed with Florida. The first three in the portal are starters and it was anticipated the transfer would be a signficant contributor, probably next year.
Again, I am not an insider and the information regarding Florida I read on Florida sources.
