Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Best part of all of this is the fact it will play like a credit score for Florida's NIL. High level players will now demand more down upfront. Someone posted the funny gif from Dumb and Dumber (those are IOU's) and this will be the perception. NIL's that meet obligations will gather more credibility with recruits and their parents. Florida will be a CCC bond if we're talking finance.

That’s Flordia’s fault, not NIL. There are thousands of QBs they could’ve recruited. They chose to pursue the one that they had to offer $13M. That’s a dumb approach to recruiting by Napier.

It's dumb to offer an unproven 17 year old kid 13million, from anybody

Coaches and collective got caught up in a d*** measuring contest against Miami. Any time money is involved in a contest like that, people buy really stupid things. Granted, that's like the majority of the culture in Florida, especially S FL.

It will really hurt them in the state of FL vs Miami and FSU on the recruiting trail. Other SEC/national collectives can point to this situation as well, but that reputation permeating through the high school football community in FL is going to be a problem.

Should we be the type of fan base that takes pleasure in another University's shortcomings and negative publicity surrounding its Football program?








Absolutely!!

Doesn’t help everyone… there’s other meds that can help if you still have the nerve pain.

After EMG & Nerve Conduction Testing, the neurologist said the sheath (I can’t remember the technical term) was damaged and he prescribed Gabapentin. I tried it and just felt stoned so I didn’t care that I hurt but would not be a good idea to drive clients around looking at property feeling that way! I then decided to try an acupuncturist and that did help. I went to the acupuncturist for a while and then started taking supplements shortly there-after. I’ve been using the supplements pretty much daily and the pain has gone from like a 9 or 10 to almost nothing.

I agree and disagree at the same time. It’s being reported that his NIL deal they sold him on isn’t being honored. If that’s the case, makes perfect sense to not follow through on attending FL.

But also yes drama bc his recruitment has seemed to be all about the money and nothing more.

Agree, if you've agreed to a deal and they aren't following through...it's more than appropriate to walk away. Thats how contratcs work.

On another note: we can say NIL is stupid, and I don't totally disagree, but at this point we might as well get over our personal opinions of it, it's here to stay. Only options are to remain a college football fan or walk away. Neither option is wrong, it's just a new world.

Looks like right out of Friday Night Lights

 

[InVOLuntary]

I think there is an option to pay for the full year upfront, but maybe I'm mistaken

Maybe I missed it.

No

Nobody said FL had to offer $13M. So is NIL stupid or is FL stupid nahmean

They were under intense pressure from their own stargazers. Their efforts got ours stirred up. “Florida is kicking our ***!” was posted more than once.

 

[85SugarVol]

Our matchup in Gainesville is inching closer and closer to an automatic dub

I doubt that’s true.

But the page has been turned - they hold no advantages any longer. Hell they may be nervous playing us…

here are the fan thoughts:



We will be fine with Mertz who is worth about 13 cents.

[BigSteve09]

Maybe I missed it.

looks like they've made some changes to make the site easier to navigate


so appreciative of Spyre and how they've set this all up

This. And "Miami is kicking our ***!"

I was just about to post this same point. Glad Heup is prudent and judicious.

A war has broken out between the Gators On3 and 247, with contradictory reporting/sources. It looks like both sides are putting it all on the line for this story and one of the sites is going to lose a ton of credibility.
