I'd say Tennessee, but if you're asking me to guarantee it, I can't especially since he is not likely to be an early enrollee any longer and the recruiting process will last until February the 3rd. But based on everything I know, it's UT and the reason is one, Monte Kiffin.
What's hilarious about this is that GH and others are trying to paint me as being a homer due to this, but they are convinced he's a silent to them as well.

I don't paint and I've never said he's a silent to UF...I just said I wouldn't call him a "done deal" to UT...as you have. He may be in Gainesville this weekend, so, calling him a Vol right now is presumptuous.

No, it's not presumptuous at all if it's true. Trust me, with the amount of emails I got saying Luc gave a silent commitment and the places they came from, it happened. Will he stay a Vol commit? Who knows. Signing day is not at 6:40PM Central time on Nov the 5th.
You keep inferring that I said he was a lock to go to UT and there was no chance of him going elsewhere, which I never did. You just misunderstood. Go back through my posts, I never make guarantees like that about ANY prospect.

It is presumptuous until he publicly commits to UT. Just because you believe it, doesn't make it true.

Not presumptuous. True. Why don't you go into GU's ridiculous silent commit thread if you want to criticize someone for being presumptuous. (50 visitors. What a friggin' joke. That would have been in every paper in Florida if it were even close to true.)

OK...
Yeah, I'm confused as to why you're confused. I'm not going to explain myself again. You can read it all again....slower.

Odd, huh? Luc doesn't take his trip to Knoxville as planned; but is taking an unplanned one to Gainesville this weekend... again; but he's a UT lock. Don't you just love that logic?
I even heard maybe the most absurd thing I've ever heard about any recruiting situation EVER. Get this; this is actually somebody's theory... I'm not making this up:
Somebody, on another site, suggested that Kiffin probably told Luc to take another visit (the one to Gainesville this weekend) to Florida to make sure he wants to go to UT. Said there's no better way to secure a commitment.
Can you believe that utter BS? Yeah, in order to secure one of my top prospect's commitment, I'm going to send him back to my enemy and the other program that has the best chance of taking him from me. Is that not the stupidest thing you've ever read? And, this visit wouldn't even be Luc's last visit to UF anyway... his official visit to us is his last one, and it's the FSU game in the Swamp. It'll be Tebow and Spikes' last home game; and there'll be about 35 or 40 of the best players in the nation visiting for it.
For future reference, folks, DO NOT employ this strategy with your old lady. If you look like Howdy Doody, do not send your sweetie over to Brad Pitt's place to make sure she knows what she wants... she won't be coming back.

35 or 40, huh? Too bad that Florida is turning into the wooden blocks, and Tennessee is that new transformer that makes you forget about your blocks permanently. Especially because you can trade it in for a bigger toy, whereas no one wants wooden blocks.
Your post would be funny if Kiffin had not already used this philosophy with success. David Oku, JerQuari Schofield, Greg King. The fact that you think Florida is "Brad Pitt" and UT is "Howdy Doody" just goes to show you how deluded you are. First no one wants to hire UT coaches, (certainly not LSU at over $200,000 more for Orgeron after he agreed to UT) now this. Ah, you Gators never cease to amaze with your conceit and delusion.
You can jest all you want. Watch what happens. I will be sure and rub it in your smug faces when it does.

I admit...since the birth of my little boy (18-months ago yesterday)...I haven't paid as much attention to recruiting...just not as much time in a day as there use to be...
However, what I read about Luc on a couple of the Gator recruiting sites...at least, what he's telling them, isn't what Sabo is dishing out here. That snake-oil salesman in Knoxville is telling him everything he wants to hear, obviously...but if he's such a lock...or a "done deal" as Sabo puts it...why all the unofficials to UF? He'll be in Gainesville this weekend...not to mention for the f$u game...which is always our biggest day of the year with regards to recruiting. If he really is as "pro-Vol" as Sabo implies...why does he feel the need to check out the big boys in Gainesville?
