Taz,
I am of the opinion that everything happens for a reason. As much as I would love for you to play for OSU, by going to UF you are close to your family and you are still going to a quality university and a program that is currently free of the kind of distractions we are going through here.
I would almost always recommend Ohio State to any recruit because of all the tradition, fan support and just my love for the University. Every once in a great while, however, there is a recruit (Dennis Kennedy, You) that makes us all sit back and hope that you are able to stick it to us a little.
You are great individual and you will be part of some great teams at Florida. You are there for a reason and I believe that, as happy as you would have been here...you will be just as happy there, if not more, because you can be close to your wonderful family. I would like to think that no one here would even insinuate that you rethink your decision based on the recent events.
I, for one, am satisfied with the thought that you are going to be a spectacular player for the Gators and that you will come around here and share some of your experiences with us. Stay well and God bless!
...Does anyone else think that this is the greatest thread ever?
