Exclusive: Current FSU, Former UF commit Demar Dorsey's Legal Troubles PDF Print E-mail
Written by James Brown   
Saturday, 30 January 2010

In the last day, Gatorsfirst recruiting correspondent DK_Thompson has learned of former Gator commit, expected FSU commit Demar Dorsey's legal troubles. The information was first reported on his twitter account here.

You can check them out from an indisputable source here.

Now, I have no idea the specifics of these cases, and am no legal expert. I don't know if they'll all go away, or what.

The reason I think it's noteworthy: I think it's a possible explanation for the way his recruiting went down. When his commitment wavered, he had some curious quotes about not speaking to the UF coaches, etc. It now seems as if the UF coaches backed off, possibly after hearing about this legal situation. Did his commitment waver in the first place because UF coaches had backed off with so many other defensive backs?

No matter how you look at it, it's a different situation than how the coaching staff handled the Matt Elam saga.

Maybe it's just me, but the robbery w/ a deadly weapon charge would cause me to reconsider my offer to a guy. That's sad to me, though. This crushes the public perception of the kid already. Shameful, but good on the Gators for withdrawing.

Upon further review, I notice that the case I MENTIONED WAS CLOSED A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. That being said, those charges may be irrelevant.

Since posting this, I've heard rumors that the coaching staff was unhappy that Dorsey was somehow not honest with them about the charges.

Again, I don't know the seriousness of these charges, or when the case was closed, or what. But I have to think there's a correlation between this data and the way UF backed off in their commitment. If that was because the charges scared them, or because of the way Dorsey handled them, I don't really know.

Any other information from some of you guys would be greatly appreciated.
