Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[peaygolf]

The hip-hop community does this "remember when" thing every 2-3 years at any major event that will let them. Even the Super Bowl was like "man, rap used to be cool."

The originators (like the acts you mention) and the preservers (like Questlove) are always trying to reintroduce the art to regain the essence.

I’m a metal guy, but the Public Enemy and NWA show I saw was unbelievable

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

How many times have they mentioned Josh Heupel?

Rashada and his dad look bad for making it a bidding war with literally every school that they talked to after they read about Nico's deal. They fired their experienced lawyer for a couple of newbies that let them sign a terrible deal. Family looks bad, law firm looks bad, Gator collective looks bad, Florida looks bad, NCAA looks stupid.

Rashada has to own his part in all of this, he’s not innocent by any means, but you have to feel for the kid a bit. The way he had issues about the talk of the contract around Elite 11.. it sounds to me like the dad was probably the driving force behind a lot of it.

^^^^^^^^^^ this. And taking the money then no showing for your obligation looks EXTREMELY bad. Says a lot about the character of his camp. Makes me appreciate Big Nico even more and the way he groomed his son.

Didn't Heupel pass on Kevin Steele?

Thank God for that!!

We should be high fiving this.

For all the millions of music listeners who are watching and think "oh what is this? Rap? So this is rap? Huh."

Country is about 10 years away from trying to point everyone back to their center as well

Do wha?

I think Rap and Hip Hop diverged 25 years ago.

Rap is now meant for clubs. Hip hop is meant to enlighten, as an art form.

I'll give Rashada a pass. Not his camp though. Handlers(includes dad) and Florida look bad imo.

Kinda sad...some of these kids legit got an opportunity to make "life changing" money AND get a free education, but then their family who mostly come from nothing and haven't had anything are getting involved trying to make sure the pie is bigger so their piece ain't too small.

A friend of mine and I used to talk about this, we grew up in pretty much the same type of place. But his community focused on sports or music as the only ways to get out. Whereas I was being directed into engineering, technology, medical, or education as careers to get out of the cycle.

it wont matter. Florida fans throw piss, actual real urine onto people. These people dont care. Theyll do anything to win.

takes one to know one

In that case, check out Ice T’s rap metal band, Body Count.

Edit: Ice T

 

[BigSteve09]

In that case, check out Ice Cube’s rap metal band, Body Count.

Rashada deal was wild


This was signed PRIOR to NLI. Violation by Florida.

Prior to last month, Rashada had not visited Tempe since June 2021, when Herm Edwards was Arizona State’s head coach, and he did not use one of his five official visits there. Because he already signed a letter of intent this cycle, he will not formally become a Sun Devil until he can enroll this summer.

As for how much NIL money Rashada landed by going to Arizona State, a person with knowledge of that school’s collective said it was his understanding that an NIL arrangement for Rashada is “nonexistent.”

I'm reading it right now too, this is pretty crazy.



























THAT IS A TERRIBLE CONTRACT

I'm also pretty sure that you can't put in a contract that the athlete has to attend the school or live anywhere. That's why they make them so heavily weighted on appearances in the college town at crazy dates/times. To fulfill those you almost have to live there, but I don't think that you can outright dictate it.













1.) not looking good for Florida, I hope this story makes its way around the CFB and HS FB communities. NCAA should investigate, but I won't count on it.
2.) THANK GOD we have Spyre and the Volunteer Club

Wow, that’s heartbreaking for him and his family.

 

[Ace]

I missed it, but I just found out that JT Shrout transferred to Arkansas State with Butch.

 

[Jackcrevol]

We get then after UF and before the bye as well. They will have our full attention.

geez. sounds like they're all crazy.

 

[InVOLuntary]

The Egyptian puns have got to stop, it's giving me excess stress, which causes gas!

Up to this point, I'd been passing infrequenty. It'd become Toot-uncommon.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Florida severely overpaid for this kid and dodged a bullet honestly. We got Nico at a discount for 8 mil if true. Him and this kid isn't in the same stratosphere as a player.

Yeah maybe it would have been better if they landed him and blew all that money on a bust?

 

[Billy Antrim]

Wow, literally thousands of sandhill cranes having breakfast this morning in a farmer's field about a mile from our house in Deming, NM. They winter here and at the Bosque del Apache along the Rio Grande, south of San Antonio, NM.

 

[WesTnVol]

I'll die believing we would've given UGA a helluva game in the rematch for the Natty, Hooker or no Hooker. USCjr game next season need to be a blood bath, we owe them on multiple levels. And I want Rattler to take a beating.

I want to beat them so bad………the SEC office calls for the game to be stopped mid 3rd
