This.Imma tell u Why it is a Rashada issue:
B/c he & his family shouldn’t have been in this predicament in the 1st place.
Before he committed to us, ppl like myself, & @Gocanes1990 were dropping tidbits as to his infrastructure. I caught wind of what was what b/c he’s from a small area in the Bay in which I know hella ppl. It’s been stated numerous times again, BEFORE, he committed to us how tricky he was.
I had a personal convo w/ @LeedsCane in which I specifically told her I don’t like his demeanor & I don’t trust his word, not b/c of him, but b/c of those looking for a come up from him.
At the Elite Camp here in Manhattan Beach, reports came out that he didn’t look as advertised; in fact, Emory looked on par. I verified this w/ ppl who were in attendance. Regardless, he was a Cane & u roll w/ ur QB. However, privately, we all knew he was shaky to stay committed b/c his camp used us to shop for a higher deal. We could’ve went 9-4 this yr, & it wouldn’t have made a difference. In essence, he was never fully committed to us.
So, excuse me if I don’t shed a tear that he & his camp got played for being playing games.

This.
As Biggie said, Mo Money, Mo Problems
When kids or their camps make it about money, public money now, they better be ready for the blowback if things go sideways, either on field or off.…..especially unproven kids. Right or wrong, money changes people level of sympathy.
Did he enroll today?
I agree, he rolled the dice and lost. Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered comes to mind. So for him to be in this predicament, he has no one to blame but himself. I think the point Pate was making is a lot of people were blaming Rashada saying he was holding out or asking for more or negotiating further. For the totality of the circumstances, he is as much to blame as anyone else.
As far as why he is not enrolled in UF it is not his issue per se because if he got the money it sounds like he would be on campus. I think that is the slight distinction looking at this issue in a vacuum.
Money was promised and never arrived. Rashada didn’t enroll at UF and now he is gone. Tears flowing.I am really f'ing late here but wtf happened here?
Right; but heres my thing champ, it’s not like we weren’t going to take care of him & his. We’ve built a proven model, one that’s created waves & headlines. So to take what we were offering, then go & use that as a means to drive up the bidding price for ur services is foul af. When u play stupid games, u get stupid prices, so I give two fcks what’s happening to bruh & the greed it’s created.
Go live that Lamborghini life u were portraying in ur commitment video, homie, but stay the fck away from here. Has zero to do w/ bitterness vs. understanding the rumors about character came to fruition, & we don’t need that presence in our locker room. We already saw one meddling father flipping off the lips & Mario promptly advised for him to pick up his kid.
If “fumble the bag” was a real person, though. Lol
I really don’t have a negative feelings towards Rashada. Kids de-commit annually. This just happens to be awkward as the new world of NIL$ appears to be the reason. Yes, he had a nice agreement with Ruiz, but who doesn’t want more if they can get it?Right; great analogy, btw. So yeah, as far as the situation w/ UF goes, that’s all UF & for that I don’t blame him. Just like (off topic, but on topic), I don’t blame Lamar Jackson for not playing in the playoffs, risking his body for a team who refused to pay a MVP, and the engine of that offense & I blame @Memnon for this. Lol.
UF reneged on their deal or having problem w/ fulfilling their end, & therefore I don’t blame Jaden for not enrolling; but, this could’ve all been avoided IF the games weren’t played.
Nope lolDid he enroll today?

Had Dante Moore flipped from Oregon to Miami for a better deal would we think less of him?
And no, I would not want Rashad at Miami.
Fair enough. And true.My brother let me be clear; I know a lot of ppl ain’t built like me. I’m loyal af; it’s y Dame Lillard is one of my favorite athletes regardless of sport. We have the same mentality. With that being said, I also understand the capitalistic nature that’s bred in most ppl. I can appreciate going for more.
My problem is Jaden was never really committed to us; in essence he was using us. That’s my issue. The fact the staff never felt really comfortable the last few months b4 the flip shows where his camp was. I don’t have a problem w kids flipping or some who don’t even entertain us, but just how him & his peoples moved, rubbed me hella wrong.
Therefore, I call this karma.

All of that and I'm still annoyed we were on him and not Moore. ****, even the QB from Mississippi (reminds me of Brees) would've been hella cool.
Wish I knew with certainty if Moore eliminated us or if we were prioritizing Rashada more. I'm not talking board speculation, but the real truth. Barring injury, that kid has the talent and right attitude to be the top pick a few years down the road.
Out of the 3 Nico is clearly the superior talent, and I don't even think it is close.Bro, Moore’s demeanor, his arm talent, his decision making screams future All American & 1st round pick.
Admittedly I was team Nico, but I knew he wasn’t coming. Lol. I thought Jaden was a good prospect based upon Hudl. I was a little Cali biased towards Jaden. This yr, I made efforts to get all the intel I could on him, & brother, I was a bit concerned w/ both on field & off field stuff. Moore was a guy I circled back upon, just to see if that 5* was warranted. The fact Harbaugh tried to snatch that dude while he was an 8th grader should’ve alerted me. As his season progressed, I noticed this dude stayed around completing **** near 70% of his passes! He was avg more yrds & a substantially higher completion % than Rashada.
Anyways, I digress, but I, too, would like to know that my **** self.
