Matt Elam Looking at WVU

Does this topic look familiar? It should, it wasn’t that long ago that we talked about young Elam shopping around.
Matt Elam is by far one of the top prospects that Urban Meyer has his eye on… but apparently so do others. Matt Elam has “committed” to Florida but isn’t calling it quits on his looking at other schools.
Future of Matt Elam at Florida is Unclear
“I still feel I’m committed there,” Elam said aboutFlorida. “That’s where I want to be. I just feel like I have to look around. I’ve never been no other places. I haven’t seen other things. It really opened me up when I went to West Virginia. I still say I’m committed, but I’m looking around.
“I don’t want to de-commit and cause a lot of trouble, so I’m going to stay there, stay committed, but I’m going to look around.”
When asked if he had to sign right now:
“Probably West Virginia,” he said. “It’s crazy, huh? That’s how it is.”
How the hell can you say you’re still committed to Florida if right now you were to sign it would be with WVU? I can tell he lacks proper speaking skills with his “I’ve been no other other places” so maybe he would fit better with WVU than Florida. Just recently he said he was dead set on Florida and wouldn’t consider any other offers… a complete 180!
He doesn’t want to have to compete to play. He just wants to come in and start playing college ball without having the competition. He sees Florida as one of the deepest schools only second to USC in depth:
“There’s a lot of places that I could get a better opportunity than Florida,” Elam said. “I’m not going to run away from Florida because of competition, but I don’t want to wait. I feel I shouldn’t have to wait. I just want to go in and play. I don’t want to have to beat out four or five people. I know I’m going to have to compete wherever I go, but Florida probably has the biggest depth in college football, besides USC.”
He doesn’t plan on revisiting Gainesville as he’s “been here enough to know what it’s like”. While he still is labeled as committed to Florida, this new information definitely does not make me feel good about his future with Florida. We could use a top rated recruit for next year and this looked to be a sure thing not to long ago.
