Quarterback situation at Florida could get even more crowded

Everyone in Gainesville seems to be talking about whether John Brantley or freshman Jeff Driskel will be the quarterback next season, that that hasn’t stopped new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis

from searching for more signal callers.

Weis met recently with Palm Beach Dwyer quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who at 6-5, 225 pounds has the size to match Driskel and Brantley.

Brissett has been offered by many of the top notch programs in the country, including Florida’s SEC rivals Alabaman, LSU and South Carolina. It was reported in some circles that he was leaning towards FSU but after meeting with Weis that could be change

ESPN ranks Brissett the best uncommitted quarterback available and compares him to former LSU standout JaMarcus Russell.

ESPN says Wisconsin could be the favorite if Brissett decides to leave the state of Florida where Miami is making a strong pitch under new coach Al Golden.

If Brissett goes to Florida it appears Weis sold him on the idea that nothing is etched in stone for the heralded Driskel.

LeBron to Miami guarantees nothing

LeBron James and Chris Bosh joining Dwayne Wade in Miami guarantees nothing, though frustration could be a by-product.

It doesn’t assure the Miami Heat will win an NBA title or the club will make money during the length of this deal. There were a lot of empty seats during Heat home games this past season and if this so-called “magnificent trio” doesn’t win a title and the novelty wears off, it could turn into a financial bust.

Going back to the sixties and up through today, NBA history has shown teams with super-stars more often than not fail to win championships. The two best examples are the Lakers with Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor and the ’96 Houston Rockets team that had Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler.
