Exactly!!! If it wasn’t an option the father could’ve easily said he is signed and committed and we’ll be there in the morning.

Exactly, something along the lines of “we’re still working things out, but he’ll be there with bells on tomorrow or Friday“.

I believe it. Both Cribby and D-Money mentioned back in the summer that UF was moving recklessly and with desperation.

I believe they were reckless and desperate, but I don’t believe this number. Maybe I’m just too practical to think it’s real, but I just don’t see it.

It is true though, that apparently we said pass, because the scuttlebutt was that they came back to us for an offer higher than our original offer or something like that.

It’s like the chick that dumped you for some dude and got you stressed. And then you see her a year later looking like she pulled her rip cord and dude got a whoopsie baby on the way. Yea, it feels like that.

Ahhh my favorite thread. What a day!

 

[TriStarCane]

I thought enrollment couldn’t be contingent on NIL deals? Isn’t this pretty blatant? How does UF not tell Rashada that if he walks there is mutually assured destruction with his eligibility? Maybe I’m misunderstanding

 

[Return of the U]

Remember when Jaden committed to us last spring a week after all those UF crystal balls.

We were able to use his commitment as momentum for the class, dodged a bullet IMO with his decommitment...and now get to enjoy this **** show.

Ahhhh life is good...

“But he signed a Financial Aid Agreement so he should still count towards the class average”

**** Sharif just please don't **** the deputy.

@CFLCane Nuh uh! We don’t do that here. Take some time to cool off.

@PIPO Breakfast (coffee and donuts) is on @djnellz tomorrow.

 

[Tad Footeball]

Yeah, maybe, but $13 million? That would be 3 years, at over 4 million per.

Yup. Crazy, imo.

They deserve each other.

As I was taught young… Don’t be a Chazer. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

Truer words never spoken.

Is Rashada black or Indian or both?

He's Jheri

 

[dk72]

There's no way this guy got/will get/someone will else give him $13M.

..and they tried claiming he agreed to take less at UF than he was offered here because he liked their program so much!

 

[RedPill Stepdad]

now they’re over there saying they’d rather have Walker Howard. they don’t know it cost just as much to play in the portal as it does the HS ranks.

 

[RVACane]

So these are the same guys who have been trashing us as poor for years and who have been saying outrageous **** about John Ruiz since the dawn of NIL and they just went and did everything to Rashada that they projected on us… Is this about right?

My take is he wants out of his LOI because terms of his NIL deal(s) weren’t met. He may be able to get out his NIL deal for breach of contract, but still needs UF to release him from his LOI.

UF would be smart to release him. Future recruits will be reluctant to sign with UF if the various Gator NIL boosters fail to live up to their obligations and the school plays hardball.

I don’t think he wins an NCAA appeal based on the technical separation of NIL and schools. But this is uncharted territory.

 

[da truth]

Their qb room is so **** thin. They must have ROYALLY ****ed up for this to happen. He most certainly would have played this year

His skinny as$ would have been knocked out for two seasons behind that sorry *** oline

Think the damage is done in terms of NIL. The negative recruiting by other collectives will be crazy here. UF’s credit rating has fallen to junk level. Whatever deal they put in front of a kid won’t be worth the paper it’s written on unless they come through with upfront money. The problem with that is you can’t even pay a Florida kid upfront money, so unless you are a die hard Gator fan, a recruit will be right not to trust them. They are ****eddddd
