Suwanneegator, Let me lay out the pros and cons of Ian Scott going pro and you pretend you are him. Or better yet, pretend you are his Dad looking out for his interest and not the interests of the fans of UF football. Your son was recruited by Rod Broadway who was a very close friend of yours. Because of what he and Steve Spurrier told you and your family your son signed with the Gators. The future looked very rosy with an offensive genius as your son's coach and it was made clear that UF was all about championships and rings. The talent was being assembled to make a run at the MNC and your son will be a part of that group that would make UF history. This would insure that your son achieves his goal and dream of being an NFL football player and drafted high insuring his financial future. But wait, the promises made in the living room begin to fade as coach after coach defects. Ian is injured and misses an entire season. More coaches leave as the carousel turns. Then the final straw...Coach Spurrier departs and does not even tell your son in person...he hears over the news like everyone else on the street. So much for promises and loyalty and the dream of championships. Your son gets more new coaches and has to learn an entire new defense after he recovers from his second injury. The season ends and his coaches announce they too, are leaving for bigger paychecks and career advancement. Nothing unfolded for your son the way it was laid out for him when he was recruited by coaches that were no longer coaching your son. Watching your son struggle through these disappointments and remembering that you told him to trust Broadway and Spurrier have weighed on you. Perhaps Ian should have gone to a different school after all... Your son plays a high risk position for injury and is very close to his degree. He is a brilliant student and can easily finish his degree in the off season of the NFL. With a great combine your son goes in the second round and insures his financial future. If he comes back he will not be surrounded by equal talent but will have young players and tough times ahead. He will be double teamed making sacks, racking up great stats or piling up highlight reels extremely difficult to impossible. Your son is physically ready for the NFL and frankly tired of the game playing and coach carousel he has endured. Your son is very concerned about having a career ending injury and his dreams being dashed...again. Do you wave an orange and blue pompom and tell him to take chances with his future or tell him to make the decision he feels is best for him? Think about it. Now you tell me...should you, his father, lecture him about loyalty to UF????
