Tears Gator Tears

[Hurracanes]

If they really knew the numbers they’d feel worse. But lucky for them they have cognitive dissonance. They’ll never allow themselves to believe that truth.

Gators offering more, right?

They are really taking the loss of Rashada hard if the HC is releasing a written letter lol.

 

[Burricane]

open letter this morning from Billy Napier to Gator Fan base:

OPEN LETTER: A Message From Head Coach Billy Napier - Florida Gators

OPEN LETTER: A Message From Head Coach Billy Napier

floridagators.com

Wow. They are having such a meltdown over this that the head coach had to address it? Boy oh boy

Mario with a quick comeback

Please tell me Mario’s tweet is a subtle jab at this letter? The U is back to work while Sunbelt Billy is penning lengthy letters lol.

I think it should be Gators to Grease, where they train their players to be Chick-Fil-A fry cooks.

 

[WeBallinBoyz]

I almost want them to find out the numbers because that would cause even more tears.

Imagine realizing you bid more for Rashada but you still lost.

He’s just trying to help mentor Billy on coaching with the big boys

Wow!!! They just make up sht as they go. Amazing how many dudes they have that know so many details about every meeting and every recruit and all the reasons they did or didn’t pick them.

Exactly, these dudes are acting like a UF rep is there like a media member for everytime Harlan and Jaden meet with a HC or NIL rep.

 

[TakeitinDiaz]

So, would you say that he’s trying to make them champions of life?

 

[aleahy]

The funny thing is this panic is largely around Rashada and I don’t think he ever really wanted to go to Florida. He strikes way more as bright lights, big city than rural SEC. Sometimes, that works against us the other way. But, not on this one and I can’t believe they weren’t at least somewhat aware that this scenario was very likely.

In total stated dollars, very possibly. In net present value, I would not be so sure.

I'll give an overly simplistic example, JUST for the math.

Let's say School #1 offers to pay a kid $1M in Y1, $2M in Y2, $3M in Y3, and $4M in Y4, for a total of $10M.

Let's say School #2 offers $3M in Y1, $2M in Y2, $1M in Y3, and $1M in Y4, for a total of $7M.

However, School #2's deal pays the same Y1-Y3 amount, but FASTER. And if a player thinks he will go pro after Y3 (or transfer at any point), then Y4 is completely speculative. If the player transfers after 2 years, School #2 has paid him $5M, while School #1 has only paid him $3M.

So, yes, there are several reasons why "advertised total contract value" is not the only thing to look at, same as NFL contracts with "voidable years" and whatnot.

Hope that helps.

It’s still breakfast time. I wonder what’s in store for lunch? The AD open letter with a vote of confidence?

 

[TakeitinDiaz]

Saw this on a B side gator board.. I like the "Not sure he is a fit in Napiers system"

Man, I’d hate to have to take Vanderbilt, Missouri’s, and South Carolina’s best shot on a weekly basis. Imagine getting the gators’ best shot. Whatever would any team not in the SEC do?

That open letter? Do you know what I’m smelling?

I’m smelling fear and desperation.
