I was not able to post this until the recruitment of QB Jaden Rashada was officially over. Although he picked Miami over UF, what is telling is the perception of how mismanaged the NIL collective is operating for UF.
Here is a quote from the lawyer who represented Rashada during the recruitment.
"Florida is the most dysfunctional collective in all of college football," he said. "I plan on steering my clients away from them. From my standpoint, I never ever want to deal with them again. If it weren't for the collective that's completely dysfunctional at Florida, he probably would have been there."
Meanwhile UF collective states they never dealt his lawyer.
And then there is this:
Regardless of the back-and-forth going on, new Florida head coach Billy Napier does have some work to do on the recruiting trail. The Gators, who went 6-7 last season, are 36th in the country in 247Sports' composite team rankings for the 2023 class, which is behind SMU, Rutgers, Duke and Northwestern, among others.
