The crazy thing is that we already have two former team captains from that team!That would be weird getting three players from an in conference school in the same year.
What's going on at Florida? |
In case you missed it, we’re breaking down one of the wilder stories of the NIL era: The curious case of Jaden Rashada. The four-star quarterback signee is in “purgatory,” G. Allen Taylor writes, as the school works to fix an NIL indiscretion. A quick-ish recap:

I'm sure that is for multiple years. Great players dont usually stick around for 4 years, sometimes not even 3This just in

In case you missed it, we’re breaking down one of the wilder stories of the NIL era: The curious case of Jaden Rashada. The four-star quarterback signee is in “purgatory,” G. Allen Taylor writes, as the school works to fix an NIL indiscretion. A quick-ish recap:
One of Taylor’s sources says Rashada won’t be enrolling at Florida. There’s also the potential for litigation, hinging upon whether the November contract is binding. Florida collectives are offering a lesser deal (still above seven figures) — with the caveat that Rashada releases everyone from all previous claims.
- June 26, 2022: Rashada commits to Miami.
- Nov. 10: Rashada and a Florida donor collective agree on an NIL deal exceeding $13 million, and he flips his commitment to the Gators.
- Dec. 7: The collective’s CEO sends a termination letter regarding the contract, Taylor reports. There are conflicting accounts about why the deal crumbled and who pledged to pay what.
- Dec. 21: Coach Billy Napier’s national signing day news conference is delayed 67 minutes. Rashada’s name, initially missing from the list of signees, is added at the last minute.
- Dec. 29-Jan. 3: Rashada and his family make glowing comments about Napier and indicate the recruit plans to enroll early.
- Jan. 10: He doesn’t.
Again: We’re talking seven-plus figures for a four-star recruit. Stay tuned!
Too late for that. They've already established their position as allowing transfers and NIL money. Anything they did to take that back would get them sued into oblivion and they don't want that.If the NCAA decided that a player can only transfer after 2 years, unless released by the team, this would go a long way. They got into a slippery slope with these transfer appeal
That would never happen.Should a poaching program that accepts a first time transfer with 2 year and playing time in a development program be monetarily compensated for the investment made by the development program? As an example should Iowa be compensated by Oregon for the linebacker transfer? Should Iowa compensate Michigan for the QB and Tight End? It would seem the development program should be able to recover the costs for the strength and conditioning as well as dietary assistance.
It would be interesting to know the #s of '2nd time transfers' over the past few years, to know if the new NCAA rule change is significant or simply symbolic. One person it would have affected is Charlie Jones, for example. He'd already transferred to Iowa from Buffalo, so under the new guidelines if he transferred to Purdue he would have had to sit-out a year. Doubtful he would have done that. I'm guessing that the new rule will be tested in court and ultimately thrown out -- there's really no rationale for allowing 1 transfer without penalty, but then penalizing the player for a 2nd transfer, especially when it could be easily proven that forcing a player to stay at one place would be harmful to a player's future earning ability. In Jones' case, forcing him to play in Iowa's offensive scheme after his abilities had advanced to what they were could EASILY be proven in a court of law to be detrimental to his future earnings.After some thought it is my view that the combination of NIL Collectives and the governance of the Transfer Portal is the problem. Separately the two are manageable. Where things begin to fall apart is when NIL is used as an inducement for transfer. What hurts is when a player that has been through the development phase and a season of playing is induced by NIL dollars to transfer. But what to do about it?
Recently the NCAA changed the ability to transfer a second time to require the player to sit out one season. That may help discouraged the job jumper transfers. It doesn't take care of the problem with first time transfers that have been in a program for two years and a fair amount of playing time being induced, openly or behind the scenes, to transfer for NIL $$$$.

Somehow there has to be a means to curb the tampering .
KF is good at spoting hidden talent. Could also mean Iowas O decline has made it more difficult to recruit. If you are good and stand out it will be hard to show your value based on results. You will be targeted. You will not develop to work with teammates. You will not be well coached. You will be playing against stacked Defenses. You will be laughed at. TL played the best position to shine in that environment. Your fear will be of injury and looking stupid.To prop up what is arguably one of the worst offensive lines in the B10 two years running, Iowa secured one Div II tackle via the portal.
I will ask the same question I asked before last season....
Do we not bring in OL help because:
a. The coaches do not think we need help on the OL and do not pursue portal talent?
or
b. OL talent in the portal does not have any interest in coming to Iowa?
