Florida legend blasts Gators for ‘new levels of disconnect with this program’
Published:
Florida legend Earnest Graham was not happy with how the program treated his son during recruiting.
Earnest’s son Myles signed with the program yesterday as a 4-star linebacker. Earnest played running back for the Gators from 1998-2002 and finished his career with over 3,000 yards on the ground.
Graham posted on social media on Thursday, hours after it was reported that inside linebackers coach Jay Bateman would leave Florida to be the new defensive coordinator at Texas A&M.
“My son was raised to understand the business as it exists but there has been new levels of disconnect with this program that I have NEVER ever experienced,” said Graham. “No calls, no communication and the driest experience imaginable. I’m just going to START there.”

Many Florida fans were disappointed with how the 1st day of the Early Signing Period ended for the Gators. Florida saw LB Adarius Hayes and defensive lineman Amaris Williams flipped to Miami and Auburn on Wednesday. Nasir Johnson and defensive back Xavier Filsaime also flipped leading up to ESD. Luckily, D.J Lagway ended up signing, but fans were put through the ringer.
