If he told you, he’d probably have to kill you.

Will the Gators compete for an SEC title and a shot at the MNC? Urban Meyer will know this summer – but he won’t be telling anybody:

“I probably would never tell you [when he knows] because that would be too much pressure on a football team, but I’ll know in July if we’re going to compete for a championship,” Meyer said earlier this spring.

Just like he knew last year, and kept it to himself.

“I’ll tell you after the fact,” Meyer added. “Like last year, no chance. Zero. We’re going to still go and fight, fight, fight, win, win, win, and all that other stuff, but you could tell. …

As inspiration, “fight, fight, fight, win, win, win, and all that other stuff” leaves a little something to be desired. It’s no “finish the drill”, that’s for sure. Let alone this.

UPDATE: Maybe there’s more not to discuss than chemistry. Percy Harvin’s surgery sounds pretty gruesome, for one.

Meyer was in Ohio to spend time with family last week, but said he has spoken frequently with star WR Percy Harvin, who is recovering from surgery on his right heel. That surgery, which required the doctor to drill two holes in Harvin’s heel and remove some bone, will force Harvin into a months-long rehab program. Meyer remains hopefully Harvin will be able to participate in summer conditioning and will be 100 percent healthy by the time training camp opens in August. “It’s going to be a lengthy deal,” Meyer said. “He’s going to have to be real disciplined about it. The biggest concern is infection at this point, and doing something he’s not supposed to do. But we’re very positive.”

And it sounds like the red carpet is being rolled out for a certain incoming recruit.

That line trouble has coaches on what Meyer called “Omar Hunter watch.” “May 11 he rolls into Gainesville, and guess who is going to be there to meet him,” Meyer said. “Not a GA. The head duck.”
