I've said it a few times here (and been rebuffed!), that if I were the Rashdas, and I knew where I wanted to go (program, academics, location, etc.) or at least knew who the real finalists were, I'd play it exactly how the family and kid have played it. If you want to get top NIL dollars where you go, you absolutely have to make everyone think that money is the difference-maker, and do everything you can to make sure no one thinks otherwise. If a school knows they have you, you lose leverage.
I'll say it again, why go to your #1 school for $300k when you can go to your #1 school and get $1M+? Especially as NFL $ is far from guaranteed. A lot of top kids don't pan out or get hurt. This is possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity to create an incredible honey pot to start out life with.
I felt like what I was proposing was a possibility. After the family blinked today? I think it's even more likely. I think the Rashadas have played this really, really well. Respect. I also think Miami may have possibly played it even better. The next two week will be fun.
Oklahoma gets the Top QBs in the land to come play for them. Jalen Hurts, Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield when he transfered. I'm not saying Rattler is Elite or anything like that, I'm just saying he's not pure garbage like some others are saying on here, he's got crazy arm talent for a college QB...
