This sounds like that ban bet @IndayArtHauz made last year regarding the Noles

He honored that ban and when Manny was fired and Mario hired he was pardoned

where is the confidence on Rashada coming from on our end? Cribby and others have told us we weren't the best offer and the staff was tiring with how this recruitment was handled, why all the new optimism? Emory not committing this weekend?

I don’t know that there is any real confidence. I know I’ve always felt that if we got the last OV that we’d get him but I don’t know that as fact. How can anyone know that as fact? I do think it’s possible that he could come to miami for less than UiF if he doesn’t really want to go there. Who knows. Most of us are just happy to watch these smug pricks freak out and at a minimum, have to pay max dollar if they get Rashada.

The thing is, Que Nugget is not reporting on the current state of things in the recruitment. He is implying the decision has been made and won’t be changed by the OV to Miami.

Claiming it won’t change regardless which is bold (idiotic) when it comes to recruiting. Northern is the only one willing to call out how dumb that is.

But if Rashada is indeed ours, I think we’ve seen the last of Que Waffle Fries.

Exactly.

I'll take it one step further. All of Que's info comes from a frat brother who is an assistant coach. Therefore, all of the "confidence" that the "decision has been made and won't be changed by the OV to Miami" comes from a Gaytor assistant coach.

And without spending a lot of time on the fact that the Gaytor coaches have been misled by recruits MULTIPLE times in the past few years, I'll focus on something else.

When you have a kid who is thisclose to committing to you...and he SAYS he wants to visit, you can either bend over and take it...or begin to threaten the scholarship offer...

And if the scholarship offer is even mentioned, what is the FIRST THING the recruit does? HE REASSURES THE COACHING STAFF. "Yeah, I just want to take all five of my visits. I just want to be sure. I am still committed to you coach, and I promise I won't come in your mouth either."

Textbook playbook. OF COURSE the recruit will tell the first coaching staff that the last visit means nothing. That part is obvious. But it doesn't obligate the coaching staff to BELIEVE the obvious lie.

AND IT **** SURE SHOULDN'T LEAD THE COACHING STAFF TO SPILL ALL THE TEA TO A FRAT BROTHER WHO RUNS STRAIGHT TO A CHAT BOARD.

That's the part that is hilarious and crazy. I mean, if you had a strong suspicion your wife was cheating on you, would you tell your biggest gossip friend so that he could broadcast it to the world?

Weird. But, man, I love them dumb Gaytors...

I feel like if he really wanted UF he would be there already, but at the same time the Dad could just be playing hardball with the Gata to squeeze every last up front dollar out of their NIL offer. That's what I would be doing if that was my only goal out of this recruitment, especially with the portal trip available in 6 months

This argument is all about semantics and is irritating me.

The kid isn't a ******* priority. UF didn't take our cookie and we dont give two ***** where this kid goes.

He's like 20th on our prospect list and O Line recruitng has imploded if we end up pushing for the kid to flip from UF.

If you truly believe otherwise your an idiot or a troll

Yall all come off the same way, claiming things I didn't say. "UF didn't take our cookie blah blah". First of all I didn't say that and I don't care about that if they took some 3 star rated OL from Ocala. All I said and asked was how can we not recruiting a player but he is scheduled to take a OV? It's a simple question. Regardless pf our level of interest in him. That yall turn into long diatribes. Players have been back up plans that's only gonna get offers in a fail safe scenario, where multiple targets go elsewhere, doesn't mean we aint recruiting them. My opinion of not recruit is no one is contacting them from our staff. But 1 after the other yall pile in here to exclaim that the Gators didn't take nothing from us. Who said this?

Has anyone picked up on this?

So according to Que-fil-a… Rashada dad loves Napier especially from his time at Arizona State and Florida supposedly has the biggest “NiL” offer on the table yet his father is being greedy by trying to get more $$ and is the reason for postponing his announcement

Seems to me if every box is being checked you would have committed by now. You got the $$$$, the coach you want… no brainer right?

Or maybe things aren’t what they seem 😎

The Gators did and that is why your lengthy stand on this very specific point is taken as an act of support for that ridiculous dialogue.

That is why anyone who responds to you wants you to stfu about it, because no one really cares about this kid and his UF commitment or upcoming OV to Miami.

I don't care if Kinsler is on our recruit list, the fact is he isn't a priority. Nobody on this site has been talking about him being a part of our class until he commited to UF and they started beating their chests about us taking an L on the trail.

I will concede he is actively being recruited in some way since we allowed him to OV.

Will you concede that it is unlikely that the staff has this kid high on our board? Or do you believe that because we allowed him to OV that he is a major priority to the staff and we really are getting punched in the nose by the gata on the trail?

And we will end the Kinsler debate with that response…

Everyone from here on out if you want to discuss the ins and outs of a specific recruit then do it in another thread. We don’t just talk Rashada in Gator tears there is also a stand alone thread just on him.

Not saying this is true, but if you want to look at it from the sheep****er side of things, what would make the gator throw even more money at you than a last minute OV to Miami?

Again, if this dude's entire goal of this is to suck every single last possible dollar out of whatever school he commits to, then dragging it out and making it look like you're flirting with everyone accomplishes that much more than committing early and shutting things down.

If the gator is saying they'll give him X, and yes he's happy with that and that's the most anyone has offered, why not take a last-minute trip to Coral Gables...aka one of the gator's biggest rivals? Maybe Miami comes back with an offer greater than X. Or maybe the idea that Miami MIGHT do that causes the gator to call back with an offer of X plus an additional half a million?

He knows he has them by the balls. They really aren't even pursing any other QBs remotely on his level. If he has 3 brain cells, he knows that they will do any and everything they possibly can to get him, because they have no fallback plan. They're pot-committed, to the 500th degree. So, again if your only intention here is to maximize revenue, then make 'em sweat a little bit. Go giggle behind their backs with their biggest rival. Hint that they may have increased the bag. What does he have to lose? They're not gonna pull his offer, he's all the eggs AND the basket.

I will say this respectfully and this goes to all the others who responded to this exchange, you are dunce. I will not reply to anything else to do with this topic in this thread. I will enjoy the Gator tears.
