After 4 years of debating what Tim Tebow can do or not do it’s finally time for some of those questions to be answered. Scott Wright of draftcountdown.com has attended a lot of Senior Bowls and scouted many top prospects but he’s never been this excited about one player. “I can’t wait,” Wright said

Next week Tim will participate in a week long practices that will be attended be about 800 NFL general managers, coaches and scouts. All eyes will be on Tebow, Wright said.

At Florida Tebow took almost every snap in shotgun, hardly ever throwing the deep ball, and running when plays first broke down. We all know it worked great at the collegiate level and that’s why Tebow will go down as one of the best to ever play college football. But will it translate into the NFL.

“We’ve literally been waiting years,” Wright said. “We’re going to get some answers to the questions. For such a controversial prospect, a guy with so much hype and attention, to get to see him for an entire week in that type of environment, it’s just going to be phenomenal.

There are many legitimate questions about whether Tim can cut it as an NFL quarterback. Can Tebow line up under center? Can he run play-action? Can he stay in the pocket after the first read isn’t there? Can he scan a defense from under center? These questions are what GM”s and scouts want answered during the week of practices.

“It’s going to be interesting, I promise you,” Wright said. “All eyes are going to be on Tebow the entire week.”

Gsn will be attending all senior bowl practices and will provide updates on Tebow’s performance throughout the week.

Former Florida Gator cornerback Wondy Pierre-Louis has finally turned himself in at the Alachua County jail early Tuesday morning and should be making a court appearance at 9 a.m., the Gainesville Sun reported.

Pierre-Louis was booked at 2:16 a.m. from a warrant that was charging him with kidnapping, domestic battery by strangulation, unarmed burglary, battery, and obstructing justice by tampering.

It all happened at his girlfriends apartment on Sunday at around 5:30 in the morning. Rumors went around online that said someone had a friend who was real close to Pierre-Louis and talked to him and said he didn’t do anything and that she was his ex-girlfriend and always tried doing something like this.

Gainesville police capt. Ed Book said that there was another person in the apartment with his girlfriend but they escaped. From reading the past couple of days, Pierre-Louis was accused of trapping his girlfriend in the bathroom and then choking her. He then slung her on the bed when she tried to escape the apartment and started to strangle her.

“He makes some threats and she tries to call 911, but he grabbed the phone,” Book said. “She was able to get away from him long enough to escape, run outside and call for help.”

Pierre-Louis had just finished his final year as a Gator this past season and was apart of the Sugar Bowl win against Cincinnati.

The Pouncey twins are to be separated once the 2010 football season rolls around. Maurkice Pouncey, the former Gator center, plans to depart Gainesville for Orlando to train for the NFL. His twin, Mike Pouncey, is looking forward to another successful season as a Gator.

Even though the twins had only been separated for a week a few years back, they both decided that they would go their separate ways. Maurkice Pouncey made the decision to leave the University of Florida early despite his senior season ahead of him. He thought that the time was right and that the NFL was calling him. On the other hand, Mike Pouncey believes that returning for his senior season as a Gator would be the best decision for himself and his family. Mike Pouncey told the St. Petersburg Times, “I made the decision, and I believe it’s the right one.”

Mike Pouncey will be filling his brother’s shoes as center despite playing as the guard last year. “I’m comfortable anywhere on the offensive line, but I’m going to move to center, and that will help me out a lot.” Many coaches, including intern head coach and offensive coordinator Steve Addazio, told Pouncey that moving to center will improve his draft stock, intern make him a potential first-round pick in the NFL. Even though Pouncey thinks he is a great player, the coaching staff feels like there are some things that need to be improved. Addazio told the St. Petersburg Times, “I believe he will be the top returning offensive lineman in America.”

Even though the Pouncey twins would enjoy entering the NFL draft together, many things impacted Mike Pouncey’s choice to stay a Gator. His family wanted Mike to leave early in hopes of a first or second-round draft pick, but Mike made the choice solely.

All in all, the twins will be separated despite playing together for years in high school and throughout college. Mike Pouncey said, “They gave me the honor of a scholarship and this is my way of paying them back.” The Gator Nation and all of college football can look forward to seeing Mike Pouncey as the Gator center come fall.

It has been reported by Liz Mullen of the Jacksonville Business Journal that former Florida Gator quarterback Tim Tebow may be close to a deal that will have him featured on the front cover of EA Sports’ NCAA Football 11 video game that will come out this summer.

If Tebow is placed on the front cover, he will be just the second Gator to do so, followed by Heisman Trophy winning QB Danny Wuerffel who was on the cover of NCAA Football 98.

Sandy Sandoval, the senior director of athlete relations for EA Sports told Mullen, “I cannot confirm or deny that.”

Even though Tebow might not be a top draft pick coming in April, there is still no name that could come close to matching him in terms of marketing and recognition. Also, if EA Sports goes down the multi-cover route, some others that would be in the mix would include Ndamakong Suh, Sam Bradford, Jimmy Clausen, C.J. Spiller, and Eric Berry.

Gator Sports Nation recently covered the situation about Pierre-Louis allegedly choking his girlfriend in her apartment early Sunday, and now the Gainesville police department are after him with an arrest warrant for domestic violence charges.

Pierre-Louis is accused of kicking down his girlfriends apartment door and then trapping her into the bathroom while attempting to choke her, according to what the police report said. He also told his girlfriend “I could kill you.” After his girlfriend tried to run away, Pierre-Louis shoved her on the bed and started to strangle her. But she did find a way to escape and got her neighbor to contact 911.

Pierre-Louis is facing the following felony counts:

• Domestic battery by strangulation.
• Burglary.
• Battery.
• False imprisonment and hindering communication to law enforcement.

“We’re looking for him,” GPD Lt. David Rowe said. “He also has the right to turn himself in.”

This happened just a few days after Pierre-Louis’s family was devastated by the Haiti earthquake, losing their homes but not themselves.

“My attorney doesn’t want me to talk,” Pierre-Louis told the Southwest Florida News-Press. “It’s all a lie. We’ll go through a process to prove it’s a lie.”

Pierre-Louis finished his last season as a Florida Gator cornerback this past season. This news about him is shocking and I would never of guessed something like this would of happened with Wondy.
