By inducing his NIL breach with Miami, and then leaving him high-and-dry after the start of the spring semester, it screwed up the kid's development and his entire first year.

I'm not calling for a lot of sympathy here. Maybe he still would have failed to develop, even at Florida.

But The Gator stiffing him is a given. There was nothing he could do about it at that point.

I don’t agree with what happened but his dad was an issue if I remember correctly . He possibly would be are starter here with a balance offense . He would have been a lot better off sticking with us

The Gator had NO PROBLEMS with Jaden's father when they induced the family to spurn the signed Miami NIL deal. And as bad as Jaden's father may have been, he was NOT the reason that The Gator (and Hugh Hathnocock) repudiated the $14M contract a few weeks after signing it.

He wasn’t but he was greedy and instead of honoring the deal at Miami he pushed his kid to take the higher fake offer at Ugator.

Bama would have those crazy OL players. I remember Mario playing them and everyone said we lost the minute they saw Bama up close. Thats how we are now, we are looked at as the big dog

To that point, I will never forget my father calling me up right before the ACC CG in 2017 (he was frequently on the field for games for his job) and him having the same reaction once he saw Clemson's players up close during warm-ups.

Love that we are that program finally.

There's a lot of blame to go around.

But repudiating a signed $14M deal just a few weeks later...and then expecting the kid to STILL enroll, and work out a far-reduced-price contract?

That's just...special...

Mario isn't just a great recruiter. He's surrounded himself with great evaluators, too. And the Tuff & Fisical culture gives the team an identity where relentless development is not just expected, it's demanded. Yes the NIL is the basic requirement to be CFP caliber these days. The rest is necessary to win nattys.

yeah I mean this board was down on Bryce as a recruit, the staff LOVED him and he lead the nation in INT's as a true fresh who didnt come until late summer. He was probably the best defensive freshman in America.

Toney wasn't a 5 star but I think EVERYONE in So Fla knew about this kid being elite, you dont get the nickname Baby Jesus without being special.
