You might be right about next year. Particularly if we lose as many juniors as some think we might. If he is indeed only taking a year off, that may preserve some of/most of the class he has currently committed.
Yep - latest word, and a definite about-face from what he said yesterday. Reports seem to be that his team "talked him out of" resigning. If that's the case, that may not really be the best thing for Meyer, his health and his family - but emblematic of his obsession (not meant negatively) with the game. It sounded like he had thoroughly discussed it earlier with family, doctors and U of FL management and made a well-thought-out decision. Hope the about-face doesn't turn out to be a mistake and negatively impact his health.
