By now I'm sure all of you have heard the rumors about Deonte Thompson wanting to transfer to Miami. Personally, I think it's false, but regardless it made me realize that he hasn't seen any action at all. He was a gem in this years incoming recruiting class, and Urban got him late in the game. When he did sign, Meyer said that Deonte was probably the biggest signing. However, he hasn't utilized him at all! I know we have an incredible core of receivers, but we also have one of the best QBs in the nation and even his backup has seen some time.Why do you all think he's not getting more playing time? If he's so talented, don't you think he could contribute this year a la Percy Harvin last year?
It's true that the Gators are very, very deep at the WR position, but now with the rumors about him transferring, do you think it will scare Urban a little bit into maybe playing him this year in order to appease him and keep him a Gator?
I think he is absolutely doing the right thing by preserving him, especially with all the playmakers we have already, but there is something to be said about keeping a new recruit happy and following through on your promises. Let's just hope he didn't promise Deonte anything he hasn't been keeping.
