'07 FL OL James Wilson (Florida signee, transfer to ???)

I was thinking the staff considered Kris is an SC silent commit that's why the cancellation.

Even if that were true, why not cancel Wilson's visit when reports are that he is encouraging more uncommitted prospects to sign with USC?

I do not think that was the case at all. Kris just did not fit in with this class because our staff views him as an interior lineman and this class needs a tackle.

It is a moot point, but Wilson has family connections to Tressel. It was likely a favor especially since Yandell tagged along. As for recruiting other prospects, the kids stay in contact anyway...MySpace, cell phones, email, etc make that very simple. For him to say he is recruiting others to USC is not really a big deal at all...

De-committed from USC and gave his verbal commitment to Florida.

Not trying to read to much into this, but maybe the rumors of Pete Carroll leaving had to do with this...

Possible but he and Clyde Yandell are huge Tebow followers...Those two and Yandell's Dad talked non-stop about Tim.

UF lineman will transfer

Wilson said Friday that he asked for a release from his scholarship but did not know which school he wants to attend.
"I've got a few schools in mind," said Wilson, who redshirted as a freshman last season after undergoing surgery on his left knee to repair loose cartilage. "It [UF] really just wasn't for me.
"[Coach] Urban [Meyer] tried to convince me to stay. I was supposed to start [in 2008] but my heart's not there anymore."
Wilson (6 feet 5, 305 pounds) said he would like to play at a smaller school, and that could mean Wake Forest is a candidate. The Demon Deacons have 13 Jacksonville-area players on their roster, including former four former Nease players: linebacker Hunter Haynes, quarterback Ted Stachitas, defensive lineman Ramon Booi and linebacker Riley Haynes.
