The Official Offensive Line OL recruiting thread

Not coming here

 

Hate to hear that. It feels like we are third or fourth most of the time in these big battles.

 

Maybe we’ll be first in his portal decision

 

Money probably. Get the highest bid from both and put them on notice. If that's the case, it's miami's offer he wanted maximized before he went there.

Another possibility: he committed but he wanted a contract and signing bonus to stop further visits. We know our goody two shoes ain't doing that so he keeps visiting.

 

A lot of you had already laid the ground work for this to happen, but using the term “committed” seems inappropriate for someone who decided after 2 weeks, maybe he wasn’t “committed” so much after all……..
Gator Bait!

 

I’m not sure why they took his commitment in the first place. It didn’t sound like they were really even after him. They had to know something was up when he literally asked to go on an OV the next week.

 

Wow, not a good look for the staff or University!

 

A lot of kids are holding out or receiving more money to go elsewhere. UF is not a NIL player currently with the big boys of college ball. Unfortunate it has gotten to this, but other teams paying far more than we do. Not only are we behind on facilities, player dorms and stadium upgrades, but now NIL by $100,000 to $300,000 per player. And when you say UF is catching up on facilities, we are just creating whet other top programs had years ago. TN had nice facilities years ago and is doing another $215 million upgrade now. They also spent $8 million on NIL for a five star QB and more to spend

 

Oh well. Miami wins. A-gain.

 

SMH....sigh.

 

Ye of very little patience lol

 

Miami is so obvious in what they’re doing with Ruiz money — if they don’t attract the attention of the ncaa after the past 2 weeks of buying everybody, we can and should assume that the ncaa effectively does not even exist

Keep in mind that verbal commitments don’t mean much in July

 

I think we have ample evidence to be able to assume this already.

 

True, but at this point Miami is making a total joke out of the guidelines the ncaa established for NIL. I wonder if knowing they’re being made to look like fools might motivate them to do something. It’s not like scUM is a protected blue blood.

Then again, nothing was more blatant than Bobby Lowder funneling money to Cam Newton’s dad through a church - everybody knew that as soon as the FBI concluded their investigation of Lowder the hammer was gonna drop on Auburn…….and of course it never did

 

does Gourage (spelling I know) have a Covid year left If he wants and do you think NIL money could keep him around 1 more year? I guess same for the transfer from Louisiana.
