CJ Spiller to UF?

Steve Deumig, resident tool on 620 the local sports talk station in Tampa, is reporting that CJ Spiller from Clemson HAS enrolled at UF and will seek hardship status to play next year.  I've done a quick google search, because that's all the research this guy usually does, but haven't seen anything on it. Did anyone hear this last night or today? If so, good news for USF, I'd think incoming freshmen RBs would run from UF now.

I read the article in the Florida Times Union and homesickness is not a qualified reason for a hardship.  I would expect that he would sit out 2007 if he is at UF.

Never mind, more nice work by that POS Deumig.

Spiller, whose family lives about a half-hour away from the Gators campus, told other media outlets he was "considering" a switch closer to home. But after meeting with Tigers head coach Tommy Bowden on Tuesday, Spiller thought it best to stay at Clemson.

Throughout the day, Clemson supporters waded through reports that Spiller had already enrolled at Florida and attended classes Monday. Florida coach Urban Meyer hinted about Spiller's situation, saying he couldn't say much but would know more when he returned from the Bowl Championship Series site in Arizona.

trying to transfer to the national champions the day after they win it is not the best way to try and conveince the NCAA that you need a hardship waiver.
