Jaden Rashada joins powerhouse Arizona State; named starting QB as true freshman

[G8trwood]

Who guarantees the NIL money? Not the University

 

[MJMGator]

Meh. I’ll wait until all the facts come out before I get all riled up.

 

[Dunder]

Every single ****ing day this becomes even more true…. Life was better before I knew the names of high school football players.

This is the shytshow that is now CFB. Fun times.

It's apparently what has happened...Rashada is in town and isn't asking for more, just what was promised. At this point, if I am Billy, I gtfo of this place. We can argue some coaching decisions, etc...but if we don't have the money we promised a guy, then what the **** is Billy supposed to do?

Until ALL of the Foley-ites of the UAA are gone, this will continue to happen.

He could dip into the 6.5 million he made last year. By the way, that's over 1 million per win and 100% why if you were Billy you wouldn't even consider GTFO of this place.

 

[Back Alley Gator]

Can't blame Billy for this one

Nope. I can't fault Billy at all on this. You're right. I was more teasing spongebob. :)

 

[Durty South Swamp]

I'll pretty much fault a 6.5 million dollar coach with a losing record for anything, possibly even the Hindenburg disaster

 

[lagator]

If I had to guess I expect they will get it done and he will enroll. But it could just be wishful thinking.

"Jacob Rudner of 247Sports reported on Tuesday that one source said Rashada would arrive on campus "this week" while others did not offer clarity regarding the situation. "

I'd be panic-paying this kid anything he wanted if I were Billy. Good thing I'm not a head coach.

 

[Gator By Marriage]

If Rashada ends up not enrolling due to promised NIL $ not coming through, can a Lagway de-committment be far behind?

It's a tricky situation. On the one hand they can't afford to lose the crown jewel of the class, especially looking at our QB room. But on the other, they can't look like they are kissing his a$$ too much or putting one player so far above the other recruits. Best scenario by far is to get this done quickly so it becomes a non-story. Or if it's unsalvageable get that finalized quickly also. Letting it linger can only hurt.

My guess is they work out the numbers behind the scenes and he enrolls tomorrow with a story about how something unrelated to NIL was the holdup and who knows how these crazy rumors get started in the first place.

Don’t worry guys, there’s still a fun team in the NE corner of Florida worth rooting for. Plenty of room on the bandwagon for my Jaguars

Would not shock me at all if Ruiz is bullshyt making this up to cause problems.

But I am sure, they will do what they need to behind the scenes if this is in fact the case.

 

[MidwestChomp]

Don't worry all, we have Graham Mertz!

Yawn. Remember all the pearl-clutchers when Rashada was the last to sign on ESD? You looked like fools then, and you'll look like fools again when he's on campus here shortly.

"looked like"?

 

[Egor's Assistant]

Uh I mean considering they are literally reporters close to the program who normally have info, first. Yes, yes I do. It's not joe-blow off of Facebook, it's guys who have media credentials and have a direct line with UF staff.

You mean like Thomas Goldcamp?

 

[Egor's Assistant]

could be a minor blip we all forget about in 72 hours when this is all cleared up or it could be a coach killer like the Gier/Mac situation

.Astute.
