that I agree with

believe me, I don't agree with everything Meyer did or does, but the word "poaching" was always just a poor choice of words in my mind.

Coaches and players should be able to go wherever they feel best. UF has lost some guys on signing day too under Meyer, just part of it sometimes.

I don't agree by any means with a coach telling a player to lie to another school - ultimately though, the player can choose to be up front as well.
