Recruiting is always a fluid situation. What a player thinks one day can be dramatically different the next. That describes perfectly the recruitment of Ronald Powell (Moreno Valley, Calif./Rancho Verde) who was all set on Florida just a week ago and is now once again wrestling with what to do.
As we mentioned here last week, Powell has been a huge Florida lean for the last several months. USC was also under consideration but the standout rush end fell in love with the Gators after a pair of unofficial visits and has been trying to make a public announcement for the last two weeks.
The big news this past weekend was obviously Gator coach Urban Meyer stepping down at Florida and then deciding a day later that it would be a leave of absence rather than a resignation. The whole situation has clouded things greatly for Powell.
