I’m going to give my gut feeling on this Rashada situation @OriginalCanesCanesCanes. This is 110% RVA opinion. Nothing more. I think a number of people who were here for the Jason Marshall recruitment - @TheOriginalCane was on that one in detail - will relate to the situation at hand.
In that same context, I think there’s a chance they could get him. But I wouldn’t bet on it were I them unless they’re going scorched earth with cash and no one matches them. Let’s be honest here - this Northern Cali kid isn’t choosing the turds because he likes them most. That’s not possible. Like you said, per my screenshot, he left think it sucked less than he expected. And it was a big pain in the *** to get there. But really… this isn’t a kid from Ocala or Lakeland or even South Georgia. If the money’s the same or close he’s taking an offer from Oregon over UiF all day every day and I’d say Miami as well. I’ll add in aTm too because Jimbo will out-recruit Billy at this point in his sleep notwithstanding that they have the biggest checkbook of all of us.
Back to Jason Marshall. The kid was coming to Miami. The gaytor bagmen were very desperate to salvage Mullet’s class and we’ve heard numbers of like $250k and I believe it. They have money people who will stroke checks.
Fast forward to the last class. Billy got stuffed in a locker by Mario and LSU to close out the 2022 class with Citizen and Perkins.
Fast forward to the 2023 class. It’s almost June. They have no QB room. Like awful. They have no WR room. Their OL is suspect. They had Pitts as a generational talent and now they have a ****** TE room. At RB - lol - and they are not leading for Young, Owens or Baxter. **** - they’ve lost traction on both sides of the ball with a number of high level recruits like Mitchell, Harris, Kirkland, Bryant, LeBlanc….
They just signed Billy to a big deal and they’re not looking at a stellar first season with their talent. If they don’t get a top QB to not only fix their QB room but also to salvage their recruiting at the other positions on offense, Billy is going to drown and they know it. These are the same guys who ensured Marshall’s signature. There’s no doubt in my mind that they would put every dollar they can muster into landing a top 5 HS QB to prevent the Billy ship from sinking before it even leaves port.
The thing is, now the game is legal and schools who wouldn’t play the bag game can compete. They’re not going to walk in and surprise anybody. It’s purely a matter of whether anyone else wants Rashada as badly. I don’t think any of us need him as much as the gaytors do for the reasons shared.
Regardless of us, I can’t stress enough as red blooded gaytor haters how important it is that they fail in securing a top QB who can rescue their QB room and their class with trailing high level commits. Every remaining option after us is 1000% better for us if he chooses any of them over the gaytor. If they fail to secure a top QB, Billy’s bump class and roster will be way behind whatever it is that they projected. But no one should doubt they their bagmen are feeling like wounded animals in a cage right now.
