2022 Shemar Stewart goes A2M

[JennStrawley’sBabyDaddy]

$1m NIL gg we ain't getting anybody them boys want....I don't know what Mario was promised but Ruiz and them dudes looking hella stupid after talking alot of stupid ****. SEC ain't talk they brought it while this dude doing twitter spaces.

I was thinking about this last night. If FL doesn't allow you to talk NIL with recruits then maybe that's why Ruiz was putting the info out there. As a way to kids UM is offering quality NIL opportunities. I'm sure the #'s were talked about either SS camp, but it could be why Ruiz has been so vocal about his NIL deals.

I think it’s a bit racist we call these guys handlers.

Maybe father figures or mentors instead? Thank you.

Is that you coach Moe?

It’s the day of and Stewart still all Canes on IG

We've seen this movie before

Well, empirically it is about his ability to recruit at Miami. If you consider part of recruiting his ability to package external resources as part of that process. Some might say that’s beyond his control, and it probably is, but ultimately it just means his recruiting has a ceiling that is dictated by access to those resources at Miami

all that is part of it. but he's been here 2 months. 2 months. This guy is a top 10 national talent a short drive down the street from UMiami, and wasn't even considering us until Mario got here. The mere fact this is a 50/50 race is, if anything at all, a HUGE testament to Mario's recruiting ability. HUGE. Every coach on the planet's ceiling is dictated by access to resources. He stole a blue chipper that Saban really wanted from Alabama, got Moss and Kelly and has landed 5 portal players......in 2 F**KING MONTHS.

To repeat, if you think not landing Stewart in a few hours is a knock on Mario's recruiting ability, YOU ARE A MORON. Everyone read that twice if you need to.

I’ll use the WWE example.

Back in 1996 no one in the then WWF was making more than $600K per year. No contract was guaranteed.

WWF Champion Bret Hart dropped his title at WM12 and became a free agent. Eric Bischoff of World Championship Wrestling offered a three year deal at around $3M per year, guaranteed.

Vince responded with a twenty year deal that saw Bret paid around 1.4M a year for the first three years,
which Bret took out of loyalty and desire to stay with the company. But within a year Vince was trying to get out of the deal. Why?

Because if Bret Hart was earning 1.4M a year, what about Shawn Michaels who was second at $600K a year? What about Undertaker? What about Steve Austin? Their contracts would come due eventually, and they would all want as much or more. And this was at a time where the WWF was losing money to boot.

So I think the same thing is true for the NIL. If a 5 star player is brought in for $2M, what about the existing five star players on your roster who have a $500K deal? They have to be bumped to equivalent or greater deals. Or they can go elsewhere. That’s the risk in overspending for one player. You may get him, but then you have to bump up key players on the rest of your roster.

Which is why the whole NIL deal will be a runaway circus if they don’t find a way to get it under control. Kiffin’s remarks were spot on. It’s only going to widen the gap. I’m sure people will say well what’s the difference between under the table like before and what’s happening now? But these kids weren’t getting millions under the table. They were getting cell phone bills, base model chargers, and the occasional house for generational talents like Bush. But 30mil for a single class? I believe NIL was meant for autograph sessions and jersey sales, not bidding wars and blatant salaries just to attend. I know we all hate the NCAA but someone’s going to have to band together for some kind of symmetry.

Moe money, moe problems, Shemar. Don’t forget that.

Fixed

I mean if it's a mil would a good handler say nah we good?

Stop with the million talk. He’s not getting a mil in year one. So if the kid doesn’t love the place and coaches and won’t play early, yes a good handler would say nah we good. And send him somewhere he’s gonna play as a freshman for 100k less and get way more tape.

I get how wage inflation works. I just think that’s nonsense, because if the Ruiz’s were as rich as they let on, they could handle it. If we have the resources to do it, it’s dumb to hamstring yourself by not acting. I don’t think Mario is that dumb. Texas A&M would be dealing with wage inflation as well. Either we have the resources, or our money people aren’t as rich as they have let on.

I can’t imagine a scenario where the Ruiz family is as wealthy as they say they are, money is the chief obstacle, and we choose not to get involved because they don’t want to cause wage inflation.

You guys are right but really who cares? I didn’t see Kiffin *****ing about Mel Tuckers awful extension which completely resets the market for coaching salaries. It’s just business, the margins were massive in college football for over 100 years because the labor wasn’t making a dime, this is capitalism, the market will sort itself out, it’ll be ugly for a couple years and then no one will remember it any other way.

 

[BigCaneAl]

we are talking about Texas a$m one of the richest schools in the country not FSU lol. There is no shot I’m sorry but no chance he makes more money going to UM long run or short run. a$m is not even on the same playing field as us money wise. Until that changes things will stay the same.

How do you figure? Let's say he get's 1M up front, and the delta is 500k to what he could get at UM up front. He could create community connections that lead him to a jobs in the future for 40 years.....you think that wouldn't make up the 500k difference ultimately? I can guarantee you one thing, he's not going to live in College Station when his football career is over.

aTm is the game I want to win most next year.

 

[canes614]

main reason these type kids continue to put a Miami hat on the table is to gain social media followers which gives them major internet clout.....its all about clout cuz they be knowing exactly where they're going....its phucked up how they play home team fans like that...especially the ones in their own backyard....

Money is a lot like torture. It will make so say and do anything.

 

[Hotatlcane]

Video of the meeting

I'll take that if it means Ruiz included the portion allocated to Shemar into Perkins' total.

 

[cltcane94]

They just have him call steele

Calling by coaches is allowed during dead periods - the dead means no in person contact, official or unofficial.

I’ve seen this movie before, it doesn’t end well for us.

 

[itsacanething]

I’ve seen this movie before, it doesn’t end well for us.

I will not even be watching and I suggest you all find something else to do. forget this kid even exists.

It’s the day of and Stewart still all Canes on IG

Why do we do this to ourselves all the time? Lol Shemar may come to Miami, but It literally takes less than 30 seconds to take all that miami content down and upload A&M committed graphic. Message in general, never look into IG content.
