Well, that certainly confusing.
Florida had recently flipped top 10 running back Adarius Lemons from North Carolina and Gator fans were pretty happy about that. Well, that excitement wasn't long-lived as Lemons has decided to reopen his recruitment all together.

It sounds like Lemons has some other priorities in life he has to focus on first before he becomes a Gator or part of any other program.
I would like to de-commit from Florida Gators and worry about my priorities first I got so much going on right na.

However, the Gator faithful did get some good news in all this and it looks like Lemons definitely wants to be a Gator in the end.

It's nice to see a young man take his academics and other life priorities so seriously before heading off to college. Hopefully this is just a small bump in the road. The running back was the second-highest ranked recruit in Florida's class and he was a big reason they were ranked No. 15 overall and No. 7 in the SEC.
