LB James Hearns is no longer part of #Gators class. He told me D.J. Durkin called him and said #UF can't take him because of his grades.

Pre-death penalty, you would say that he was an SMU prime target.

Pretty freaking bad.

Just bad enough to get into Kentucky...where he committed yesterday.

"The Kentucky Wildcats have scored a huge commitment from James Hearns, a Tallahassee linebacker and former Florida commit. Hearns is the 7th-best middle linebacker prospect and the 200th best player overall in the 2013 class according to 247Sports.

Hearns said on Thursday that his scholarship offer had been pulled because of his academics - something that Hearns was aware was a possibility and was one of the reasons he was looking around at other programs. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound middle linebacker said a Florida coach called him on Thursday to inform him. He is the 279th-rated player on ESPN."

Stoops is as Stoops does.

Sounds like grades may have been an issue for UK too?

Four-star Tallahassee (FL) Lincoln LB James Hearns told InsideTheVille.com Thursday that he doesn't plan to sign with any school on National Signing Day next Wednesday. "It's just a personal choice," Hearns said. "I want to make sure I make the right decision. It's more of a personal thing." A former Florida commit, Hearns made official visits to Auburn and Kentucky this month. After visiting Kentucky last weekend, Hearns told CatsPause that the Wildcats had moved into the lead for his services. Thursday, though, Hearns said UK's lead was slim over a field that includes Louisville, Texas Tech, Houston and Southern Miss.
