But is Gabby happy with his new life choice?I am just happy the Gaby finally took a fvking stance on something vs the hedging he usually does.

ESPECIALLY USGaytors copy EVERY OTHER SCHOOL. Remember all the "birthday greetings"?
Jaden and his fatherQuotes of who? Just "Sources"? It's possible people are just putting out bad information.

Then that's news to me. The reports I saw were people saying general things like, "I'm hearing it's down to UF and A&M" or "It seems to be UF and Miami now."Jaden and his father
Think this goes hand in hand how Mario really has his camp locked down and air tight. We aren’t mentioned in regards to a ton of these prospects, only to end up in their top 4 or 5 out of left field for everyone but us.It’s so bizarre that the consensus amongst reporters is Miami either sits in the top 2 for Rashada, or not in the top 4 at all.
That’s something I’ve starting to wonder about.In theory, that is beating us out though..it’s just from a financial standpoint. Still a win for them, if this ends up happening. It’s not end-all-be-all, but we’d be naïve to write off UF’s money going forward.
It’s certainly a discussion point, but I would counter and say having a recruiting guru like Mario is even more essential now. If the bags are within the same stratosphere, we will have the “tiebreaker” of sorts in terms of how personable Mario is with recruits and their families. Of course, there will be recruits like Rashada where relationships take a huge back seat to the money (and we All know this is a terrible approach long term, but so be it). However, most recruits will be in our price range, otherwise it’ll get out of control; the disparity between the top 3-5 bag schools and the rest will be so stark that college football won’t be an entertaining product to watch.That’s something I’ve starting to wonder about.
Pre 2022, a Mario addition makes us a top recruiting power.
Post NIL, without a willingness to spend top, top dollars does a Mario addition only keep us at the same level as Manny was pre NIL? Are many of the recruiting advantages that Cristobal brought to the table negated by schools spending $1M - $10M for a recruit, where pre NIL the highest bags were a much more manageable $300K?
I think it’s very convoluted some of these numbers. QBs don’t surprise me though. Particularly 5* star guys.I just legit wonder how big these deals are in actuality outside of a few kids per class. I get it the bag game has always gone on but all of these $500k offers for every single player seemingly I just don’t see how
I think the Rashada camp is intentionally putting out a lot of conflicting information. They really don't want to tip their hand.It’s so bizarre that the consensus amongst reporters is Miami either sits in the top 2 for Rashada, or not in the top 4 at all.
It’s the same thing with Dante Moore, and the reporters feel like if A&M want either they can get them.It’s so bizarre that the consensus amongst reporters is Miami either sits in the top 2 for Rashada, or not in the top 4 at all.
UM is playing Gaby like a fiddle.
If he picks UF that’s exactly what happened, regardless of why.Sounds like 1 of 2 things are going on
1. Rashada took the UF bag and is locked in with them. Now UF and Rashada are creating a narrative that Florida beat Miami in a recruiting battle for his services to further raise the impact of his commitment.
2. Rashada is going to take the UF bag but is trying to negotiate a higher payout and the best team in his top7 to try and needle UF higher is Miami
Now if Rashada does come for the OV then I'd say Gaby or his sources have been getting fed strategic misinformation
