Let's keep this short and simple (I sometimes promise that, I don't always deliver)...
1. Cal? Cal?
2. This entire multi-year thread can sum up the Gaytors fans with two words: arrogant hypocrisy. These Gaytors are positively Saban-esque, as they whine about other schools "buying" players at the same time as they boast about their ability to offer illegal and legal payments to players.
3. "We haven't been outbid for a signficant recruit yet". They aren't going to count Perkins because they got "the wrong parent" (in spite of their prior boasts about offering Perkins' dad money, which is illegal). They aren't going to count Jackson because the price was too high (not sure if this dope knows how auctions work, but you can't say you didn't get outbid just because you drop out of the auction, it's kinda the definition of being outbid). And they aren't going to count Citizen because of some invented myth about the promise of a starting job (and if we are being honest here, that's part of the bidding process too, and they refuse to acknowledge that BD Billy Gaypier wanted the kid, but then didn't want him enough to play him, as if the two-headed 5-star-bust backfield of Lingard and Bowman is sooooo powerful that you can't possibly promise a freshman a shot at starting).
4. That little Drew puzzy talking about "scared money" and then in his very next post he whines that Miami "massively" outbid for Jackson. Meanwhile, EVEN IF you believe the nonsense from a month ago, Miami's NIL offer beat Florida's by about $150K. Smellls like...scared money...
5. Back to the "Citizen" situation for a moment. I've seen a million prior Gaytor posts where they big-talk about how a coach needs to LIE to recruits, to promise them the world to sign on the dotted line. As mentioned above, they also advocated ILLEGAL illicit payments to recruits. SUDDENLY they want to act like Billy Gaypier is the only faithful man in the whorehouse, the only truth-teller who be honest "for the sake of the kids". Wait, wait, the same Billy Gaypier whose depth chart is a G5 transfer and two 5-star busts? For THIS, honesty is the best policy? For THIS, Gaypier can't possibly offer a starting role (when the entirety of the Rashada pitch, outside of the obvious money, is "come be our starter and I'll svck your d!ck"?)...
All right, I kept it (reasonably) short, I just have to say I love the split personality Gaytors...lie, cheat, steal, whatever it takes to get recruits...but do it honestly and with honor, all those other rivals are just filthy disgusting criminals who shouldn't be allowed to steal our property...
