Did this fan/attorney really say no sanctions were imposed over the Rashada recruitment when in the middle of investigating the NCAA sent a letter in UF halting the investigation due to the TN ruling? That is like saying on day 8 of a 9 day Ted Bundy trial that Ted has never been incarcerated or found guilty of murder.

Also, correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Rashada suing over some type of breach of contract? Whether or not anything was in compliance with the NCAA has nothing to do with offering a contract and then saying “just kidding” once the player signs.

Actually...no.

No breach of contract, at least of his $13.85 million NIL contract with Florida.

There are other charges of fraudulent inducement and tortious interference with his MIAMI contracts, though.

Interesting stuff, and an approach that opens up the possibility of punitive damages.

Uhhh...happens every day. Every minute.

Do you honestly believe all of the firings-for-cause go to formal trials?

Of course not. Could you imagine the backlog? I just don't like the idea of only needing an accusation (legit or not) to fire-for-cause.

Yeah Lake played it professionally but if I was there, I would have rolled my eyes so hard you could have heard it.

Lake and Stock are both clowns not at Susan level but close lol

could you also bundle up punitive damages also apply as Florida has punitive damages or do the tortious interference take care of that as well?

The fraud and tort claims are the pathway to take for punitives.

If it was ONLY a lawsuit for the breach of the Florida NIL deal, then I believe he would only have actual damages.

Basically, they fraudulently caused him to lose his deal with Miami is his camps contention?

Couple of things.

Florida boosters/coaches tortiously interfered with his contractual business relationship with LifeWallet. Rashada had a high school NIL deal (legal in CA at the time) with LifeWallet for $150K, as well as an upcoming college NIL deal with LifeWallet (exact dollar amount as yet undisclosed). In theory, Rashada could have decommitted from Miami (only a verbal commit) without breaking his high school contract and/or possibly reworking his college LifeWallet deal. But Florida interfered with those contracts and convinced Rashada to burn that relationship to the ground, with one or more Florida boosters paying back the $150K to LifeWallet (the only money that appears to have been paid by Florida to or for Jaden Rashada).

Florida boosters/coaches fraudulently induced Rashada to sign his LETTER OF INTENT (also a contract) by promising that the now-broken Florida NIL deal (signed 11/10/2022 and repudiated on 12/5/2022) would be paid out anyhow, just by other payors than Velocity Automotive. These charges specifically state that Slingblade Billy was involved in this bit, personally guaranteeing that a $1M payment would be made in order to induce Rashada to sign his LOI. If you recall, not only did Rashada sign later in the day on December 21, 2022, he also delayed his enrollment at Florida and never really enrolled prior to his January 20, 2023 release from his LOI. If you think about it, Florida had TWO WEEKS between repudiating their original NIL contract (12/5/2022) and Signing Day (12/21/2022) to fix the NIL issue, and then they had ONE MONTH between Signing Day (12/21/2022) and the release from the LOI (1/20/2023) to actually pay the NIL amounts that were promised to Jaden when he was induced to dump Miami and choose Florida.

Thus, there was a 2.5 month period where Florida broke their own NIL deal and never paid Jaden Rashada a dime, during which time Jaden Rashada did everything he was supposed to do on good faith (decommit from Miami, break his NIL contract(s) with Miami, and sign his Florida LOI). And while I think that Florida wanted Rashada to sign and enroll and play, they never intended to pay him $13.85 million. I believe that Florida felt they had the leverage to renegotiate the figure to a much lower amount.

I’ll bet it was those week old cinnamon buns…

Definitely has a case. If UF had not interfered Rashada would have received the LifeWallet NIL deal (reportedly was in the range of $6+ Million). That Gator Collective / Hugh Hathcock / Billy Napier recruitment was the poster for writing checks you can't cash.

I hope he refuses to settle and everything comes out in court. I want it to be as publicly embarrassing for them as possible.

When you think about it, Florida got exactly what they wanted. Which was to ***** Miami out of a QB recruit. Whether they screwed us or did us a favor is a separate argument. Their main goal was to keep him from Going to UM, and right up until he filed his lawsuit, it had only cost them 150k to do it.

I want this to go to court. I want to see all their communications made public. And above all else, I really hope Lagway somehow gets dragged into this.

ah thanks for the reply, thought the loss of the alleged 9.5MM could be seen as punitive damages since he lost out on that contract as well, thanks for that

Lake was much better when Ivins was his podcast partner

I was on ITU for years and I called out TVD's abysmal play probably more than I should have but its free speech, I wasn't hating on him as a human being I was just speaking facts about his performances with stats to back them. It was right before the season started I posted saying the year was going to be horrible again under TVD and were essentially handcuffed to him and wont be winning many games.

Welp they didn't like that old Lake and Stock banned me and sent me a DM saying "you aren't the right fit for ITU and we were forced to ban you." I demanded an actual reason for my ban since I had not violated any of the terms of policy for 247 sports and had just renewed my subscription for the $90 some bucks. I tagged Gaby in the DM because he always responded positively to the questions I would sometimes ask him. Gaby DMed me directly and said he does not handle any of the banning so he could not help me. I waited 48 hours for a response from Lake and Stock before demanding the reason again and they responded with "its just not a good fit". I spent time with 247 sports tech support on the phone requesting a refund for my subscription that I had just renewed days prior and they denied it stating they do not refund anything once the purchase has been made for a subscription. HAH!

I supported ITU for years giving Lake Stock and Gaby my hard earned money, clicks throughout the day at work and read almost all of their articles, I supported Chris Stocks You tube page when he had maybe 45 followers just to be wrongfully banned. Besides Gabby they are all soft as Charmin at ITU who get their feelings hurt when their supposed "NFL bound" QB ***** the bed on Saturdays and someone calls him out on it.

Oh one more thing.. I'm probably being super petty at this point but I'm 99% sure Lake wears eyeshadow when he does his videos.. Yikes!

I can't believe I read all of this lmao

I would also say Gaby is soft as charmin too

But I digress

You've found a home here. And im pretty sure on Twitter as well lol

Maybe they thought you were trolling though it’s odd as you’d been on there a long time??? You ended up being right about TVD though.

I like Gabby. I hated that stupid Homer mock class Lake did where he picked guys way out and had us getting errrybody and then said it was just for “fun” like he didn’t get how people were annoyed and thought they should be cool with it. It looked terrible.

So, if you guys are in the mood for a stupendous laugh. Check out the Through The Smoke podcast "Behind Enemy Lines: Florida Gators"

I don't know who the 247 guy is for them, but Whole. E. S##t is he a homer. Everything that Billy Napier has done since last season is and every player has taken a huge step forward. Then, to end his gratuitous takes, he says they're going 8-4 with playoff consideration because of their schedule. I turned it off with a few minutes left after that.

Behind Enemy Lines: Time to learn about the 2024 Florida Gators - Through the Smoke: A Miami Hurricanes football podcast

InsideTheU.com presents a weekly podcast dedicated to Miami Hurricanes football and football recruiting, hosted by Gaby Urrutia and David Lake.

The portal rankings are just the dumbest thing these recruiting sites do. There's no standard even within one site let alone across sites. You have players that haven't played a down of college football being ranked better than players with proven production. For example Julian Sayin is ranked the #1 QB portal transfer. He's a rsh freshman who hasn't played a down of college football. How do you even begin to compare one QB with 3 years of proven college production against a guy that hasn't played a down?

Florida's #5 portal ranking is based on multiple players who either haven't played in college football or have played very little. Zandamela and Grimsley were nice pickups, but both are true freshman who won't or should NOT play in 2024. McClain played very little at Colorado and has a lot to prove. LB Howard had 18 tackles in 5 games as a true freshman at South Carolina.

My issue with the portal rankings is that there is no possible methodology to compare proven experienced talent against unproven inexperienced talent. Also, the rankings should not be viewed with the high school recruiting classes. Portal transfers are for immediate impact, while high school classes need 1-2 years for development. Experience and immediate impact should be the biggest factors for a port rankings, not the projection of freshmen 1-2 years later.

All this to say Florida's #5 transfer class is BS. It's a feel good for them to beat their chests, but won't help them this year as much as a #5 ranking should. Every Miami portal transfer has proven experience. There are no transfer reaches on our roster.

Another offseason of Florida fans winning like their top 3 recruiting class in July, 2023. They're out telling lies that will result in tears come fall starting August 31st.
