I lawndarted your mother in the 80s.

I have said this many times.

Napier would have been a great hire from a recruiting standpoint about the time we hired Butters. His approach may have been successful 8-10 years ago but building long term relationships and a family culture is an anachronism today.

Maybe.

Just being one terrible hire from success helps a lot. Kids would still remember when you weren't a joke.

Hiring four clowns and wallowing in schiff for 1.5 decades has severe consequences. Kids today don't even remember when we were anything but a laughingstock losing regularly to bottom rung SEC teams.

Only three things matter:
1. Pay me
2. Develop me for the NFL
3. Win with me or I go elsewhere

It appears that we are addressing the first one currently.

Your post is spot on.
Blade came in with Sabans blueprint and had his chit together but that went to hell with this new dynamic. It seems they have rebounded nicely from the chit fest .

While I do believe this is prevalent and is a big part of today's environment, I refuse to believe this is 100% accurate and that it can be applied to every player we go after.
I think, for the kids in our locker room, that they're happy to be a part of something wholesome and are happy CBN is going after his "type" player.
Moreover, all the successful teams I've been a part of in my military career also had the majority of its members that would fit into this category.
While it's rare, good still prevails.

We are really struggling in recruiting this year. Virtually all the recruits are waiting to see the product on the field.

#metoo, but there wasn't a portal that every other soldier in every other unit could enter to try to get to said good unit(s)

True.
And evidently that doesn't affect Florida either as everybody here is bytching about CBN's lack of use of the portal.

The game will be over by the time they see the product on the field. Will Miles has posted some stuff regarding the recruiting class pecking order being set by mid July.

Well, except our catastrophic tumble after another losing season last year.

I see your wishful thinking is still getting the best of you.

Nothing is set by mid-July except for the 3 star and low 4 stars. The ones we should be going after won't be a done deal in July. Will Miles is a self loving fatty twatwaffle.

He did an article on it.

But you can substitute your hopes and dreams if you wish.

I dont really care if he did an artcle on it...he is a tool.

Maybe you dont know this, but Im a Gator Fan...I havent had hopes and dreams since around 2011 when they were killed by an OL that couldnt snap a ball.

But point stands...recruiting ain't gonna be set in July.

Here is my favorite comment regarding CBN’s statement on the 247 board.

I knew a kid who took one of those in his right temple. He was not seriously hurt, crazily enough, although he did nearly kill his mother when he went home with it hanging out of his head.

Apparently once it broke the skin it pushed things aside rather than tearing them up. Wild.

 

[Silverback Gator]

$13.85 million "failed" NIL deal. Sounds like that's a credible number. Cannot get my head around that kind of offer being even insinuated. Doubt our NIL had that much money at the time. But that after that deal that NIL folded seems curious.

It was a performance based contract. The kid leveraged it based on the number of TD's thrown / scored. Kid was banking on 30 TD's and 10 wins, year-after-year. Naturally, Rashada was going to Maxx that payout every damn season burning slow-ass SEC corners with his lightening arm. Being a little on the thin side, he figured if he got dinged up, he'd go back to his private dorm and brush up on Madden while counting that sweet, sweet prepaid skrillah. $13 Million. Worth every penny.

"I knew a kid...".

Based on your Avatar, it's still growing out your other side and is curling around.

Can’t blame them
I would holdout for now as well since the third year is supposed to be a decent indicator.

 

[aka]

Heck, everybody wants to see how year three translates. But, it could also be an opportunity for some savy players. Maybe come right in and play, make some money and if it turns out too badly leave. Nothing is stopping them now and there are proven examples of successful portal players.
