Just spent 30 mins with him. He says that it seems that the "Collective" is crap. He called the 27 year old who runs it incompetent. I asked if he had his JD/BBA from UF and he game me the middle finger. He also said that without Rashada the gators will certainly finish under .500. I blurted out "AGAIN!" He has reached out to others to see if there is anything that they can do. But, it may take a long time to either establish another NIL collective or replace leadership of this one. For a guy who usually gets his way, he is not taking this very well. As he walked out of my office [I have a much better view], I asked "Are you going to some of the hoops tournament games?" another finger! Now if we could only get a new OC.

Survivability should not be a criteria. There are poorly run organizations that file for chapter 11 bankruptcy every year. Do you expect the NCAA to get into the minds of business management and assess if they are making and executing sound business strategy? Thay have enough trouble managing their own affairs.

I just use the term survivability as a term to weed out organizations like gator collective and all other collectives. As they are currently constructed they aren’t marketing or provide a service and are just fans giving bags, which isn’t what NIL was designed for. NIL should be imo for businesses paying players (ex: United with Addison) for their “name, image, and likeness” for advertising.

I can agree with that, particularly the bolded. That should be the distinguishing criteria. An organizations primary and fundamental purpose is to provide a product or service for profit. NIL is just an ancillary marketing activity.

I hope that’s true, but information around this is sketch. I hope he joins with his brother at ole miss at the end of all this.

This would actually make some sense.... Lane signing a new deal, Lane did NOT sign a QB this class, they have JR. Jaxon Dart as the likely starter then a freshman who was ranked in the 1200's out of HS, Unranked Freshman walkon, and a super senior ranked in the 1100s out of HS.

It’s a good spot for him, and lane is no stranger to the Rashada family

Edit: would bring on some quality gator tears, and they can’t say he ran away from SEC SEC

Unfortunately his lack of options probably saves them. If not Florida, who else?

Oregon, LSU and A&M already signed a QB. Besides, they weren't even willing to meet his Miami number much less his UF number. Same with Cal. As posted above, his brother entered the portal last month. So Ole Miss is probably out too.

That doesn't leave him any options.

Have to go outside the box, so I'll throw ASU out there again. They didn't sign a QB. Rashada has a relationship will Dillingham. And they've supposedly got money to spend. But that's still a reach.
 
I know people catch feelings on here.
We keep labeling these young men as Divas and cancers.
Idk if Rashada fits that mold.
He wasn’t out there trolling anyone on Twitter. Or talking sht about UM.

I remember Hunter and Donnell Harris.
And others that were on social media constantly throwing shade.

To me, Rashada took the bag or went after the bag. But it seemed like all the moves were done by whoever was handling him. Either his dad or nil lawyer or whoever.

To me, he can sling it. The problem for any school isn’t gonna be his talent. It’s gonna be his camp.

So sick of grown men who can’t stay out of the way of a young man’s talent.

Kid would likely be moving in right now and working out at our facility.

Not to mention the obvious facts that college players have been greatly underpaid for decades and even for high blue chip prospects like Rashada the NFL chances are still low.

He plays games, but he stayed respectful. I’m not a fan of how he handled his recruitment, but I wouldn’t bash him for it.
