    Is Florida Tampering with Stewart Reese?

    There seems to be a real shady situation going on right now where Florida fans believe they are getting Stewart Reese as a grad transfer while Reese has shown no signs of leaving MSU.

    I realize he'd be a grad transfer so he can technically leave, but this is a really garbage part of the rule. He's a starting player on an SEC team & another SEC team is basically using his brother to recruit him to Florida?

    This isn't the way the rule was designed. I realize we got Zuber & Costello, but Zuber wanted out of K-State & Costello got injured & might not have started. To me, since both of those players entered to portal & allowed themselves to be recruited, it seems a little less shady than what appears to be Florida recruiting a starting player on another SEC team though their brother.

    All that to say, I'm not sure where to draw the line, but something doesn't smell right here.

    Which would be tampering since Reese isn't in the transfer portal.

    I guess so. What you say we do at about it (assuming it even happened)?

    Oh NOW Hevesy wants him.

    Reese is the guy that T-Buck recruited that Dan didn't think we could get.

    I don't either, but I doubt seriously we have any real recourse. Not like nfl where you can lose a draft pick or something

    Would just seem to me that the SEC would not want starting players to not be jumping to other teams in the conference

    It depends. If Reese reached out to him then he can talk to Reese as much as he wants to I think.

    If it's through his brother I don't think there's anything we can prove or do about it. If he's looking to leave, we need to give him reasons to stay. We've had high round draft picks from our O-line positions pretty recently so we can sell that. Of course a lot of those came from Hevesy so....

    Threads like this are what finally convinced me to decide to take your bet you offered up.

    Further info - his brother is graduated and trying to catch on an NFL UFA.

    This is pretty speculative. If Reese wants to look around, all he has to do is register for the portal and talk to anyone he wants.

    Having a brother as a go-between does not really enable anything he couldn?t just initiate himself pretty easily.

    What is the point of even bringing this up for public discussion?

    As long as they are social distancing, some people on this board won’t care if they are tampering.

    That's another David Reese. His brother is a RS Soph at Florida.

    He would have to want to go to Florida pretty bad to subject himself to John Hevesy for his final year of college eligibility. Having a brand new coaching staff though where they can't go through the normal Spring to get familiar with the players can lend themselves to these type of issues though.

    Not to mention walking out on his teammates as a 3 year starter.
