Not too high on those guys though. Hoping Mertz with a change of scenery improves a lot....

Do you know how QB Max Brown intends to juggle football and baseball? Will football practice always take priority?...

Sounding like Rashada is going to end up possibly at AZ State or TCU and they aren't big boys in NIL. I bet that kid ends up with less than half of what our big boosters were truly willing to give him at the end. ...

That is why we are in a predicament for 2024 now. We may have a playoff capable team then with a good QB but now there is no high school blue chipper in either of Napiers 2 classes. 10-2 in the new SEC will be a lock in the new 12 team playoff while 9-3 will be a 50% or so chance to get in probab...

"Answering within the scope of what I can. Gator Collective or any other Florida related entity had zero obligation to @lifewalletsport for 6 Million. LifeWallet has never had an agreement with any player for any figure even close to 6 million. Money doesn’t grow on trees!" I think if there...

Crazy he would come here just to sit on the bench mostly....

Not sure what to think of Mertz. Wisconsin fans were glad to see him go but that is expected. I watched 2 of their games - all offensive plays and they were mostly a running team but Mertz threw a bad interception in each of those games. You kind of got the feeling like us they didn't have many play...

His dad was probably behind a lot of this mess especially if he had already signed something with Ruiz that had some penalty attached for walking away from it. Hopefully this mess is a wake up call to get the NIL to unproven high school kids under control some. The problem is the rich boosters fundi...

Surprised he made that choice with Dart there. He better hope Dart has a good season and heads to the NFL and doesn't play 2 more years there....

So I guess Ole Miss got Howard....

Curious to see where Rashada ends up now. Colorado possibly? :lol:...

Too bad he isn't here now as he is the one WR that could start day one with spring practice....

A good QB can really elevate a team though. My guess is to knock Georgia off short of just a big upset we will need that really good QB to overcome the talent difference. Same with Bama most years though they didn't have the talent they usually have this season....

That he is visiting Ole Miss and no mention of visiting us scares me. I heard transfers have through next week to get enrolled unlike high school recruits. I hope that is true....

No some drunk head of a collective either made some crazy proposal that wasn't signed off on by the real money people or its just being put out there by some agents or something. Rashada was never getting money like that to come to FL. Heck our big money people are on the stingy side when it comes t...

I don't think he has any enforceable legal deal and won't be collecting on any lawsuit. That idiot that ran the collective may have made some joke proposal to him on his own but no big boosters actually writing the checks ever told that kid or signed anything they would give him 13 million dollars. ...

I am scared he won't make it but the big boosters will be to blame mostly. Napier has a top 5 class for sure if not for us not keeping up there. If we don't at least start playing the portal game he isn't going to last though....

I haven't but my guess is they never came to a deal if he didn't add classes today....

[link=(https://mobile.twitter.com/JohnHRuiz/status/1613936446490001410)]Ruiz[/link] This is one of the few people that knows exactly what happened probably. With his comments after signing day about the Gators and NIL I wonder if some of the NIL headaches aren't related to the time after Rashada ...
