He did. But also supported Rashada’s position. 247 is all out shaming UF so they come up with the money promised. It reminded me of Herbstreit’s diatribe about Miami - we all know what that did. Supposedly UF can “stretch” the enrollment to Monday somehow. 247 WANTS Rashada at UF.
 
An imaginary football power giving imaginary money to a top recruit. Next season they will be imagining their losses as wins.

Orwellian doublethink at its absolute brutal conclusion. Two plus two can and must equal five, and a 0-53 loss to Georgia becomes a 53-0 win.

Some are ... not many ... but in this particular case Rashada was offered a 7 figure deal over 5 years at UM and the Gators, in a state of panic, moved the bar to a crazy 8 figure deal ($10 million over 4 years including a $1.5 million up front payment before he enrolled). This is ALL on the UF AD for not having ensured that the NIL programs that the school is supported by are actually grounded in solid finance ... i.e., funded.

This entire issue was created by the Gator Guard, a group of wealthy donors who, all pumped up and indignant, wanted to "get Rashada back from UM" and they pledged the funds. When time came to PAY they then apparently decided that "that is way too much money to give some kid who is still in high school and never played a snap of college ball", and they didn't honor their pledge. Now UF is trying damage control, not so much to land Rashada, but to salvage their name, image, and likeness!! Could not have happened to a better group.

This was my thought.... if Pate is correct a lot of Boosters do not want to pay a HS kid as they feel above it, then all this bad publicity is going to get people moving just to stop the narrative.

I’d prefer him not there but even if he goes there, it’s all bad for them. Those boosters won’t pledge money again for this stuff, recruits have seen that the gator can’t be trusted to honor an NIL deal with certainty, there’s going to be a weird vibe in the locker room with Rashada and staff after this… it’s all bad for them.

And regardless of Monday, I’d be shocked if he went there. I don’t think he really wants to be there but they offered stupid money and at this point his options are much less as I don’t see us giving him the deal he had… or anything really. If the facts are as they appear, I do think he could sue the GC for breach and at a minimum get the difference between what someone pays him now and the Miami deal he had - if not the gator deal.

These guys are too dumb... Make NIL based on college credit? They still don't understand that NIL is completely outside of the scope of the NCAA and their school. 😂😂😂

Lots of Gator tears gold in this thread by the way.

Can you blame them though? They have been conditioned to the SEC bag game for years.

One of two things are gonna happen moving forward with the gators.

They get in the NIL game or they stand pat and it screws them badly with recruiting.

And even so, this has to do damage on the Recruiting side as to trust. Personally, I think these boosters are going to bail out on future NIL

Is that middle exit of the three dedicated to that metropolis?

Exit 352 is the middle exit for Ocala. There's a Wawa about a quarter-mile down on the right side. My semi-occasional last stop before hitting Bucees in Warner Robins.

Anyone know if we have any chance to go after Legway and get him to flip?
I’d much rather have him than Rashada.
Any interest or chance there?

The person on the board who knows Lagway said that we did not return calls.

So unless we can pin ALL the blame on Gattis/Ponce, I'm not sure he will be very interested.
