I’ve never felt this reluctantly excited about a top 7 QB, plus a flip. Why did he go Miami at first and what does that say about him (channeling @soflagator), but more, the fact that our big booster announced this yesterday suggests we just provided the higher offer of the moment.

I really hope I’m wrong and he sticks and is better than his JR year film. But, as someone who has been in the “let the kids get paid” group, this “commitment” feels more fluid/negotiatable to me than most.

BUT, what I like most has nothing to do with this kid. It seems we stepped up $-wise. Regardless of this kid. That is a great sign moving forward. Perhaps the most positive aspect long term from this flip.

Or maybe the better offer is a combination of opportunity + situation + NIL? Really curious about behind the scenes on the pitch.

Wow , was not expecting Rashada to flip to us, I guess that will push Stokes out. Need to close with some DL , OL, and LB.

I know on field results typically don’t play a ton into it, but you gotta think the sh*tshow down there is a factor. The game day atmosphere is a joke, as well.

In all seriousness....McClain dissing UF wonder if this might have an impact and we keep flipping? Flipping Rashada, especially from scUM is an awesome slap in the face to the Cocaines. If we could flip McClain that would be an emphatic FU!

But wondering if this could make him reconsider?
