A question on our NIL deal structuring

It's already been mentioned in here that we're about to put a significant amount of money towards NIL for both this class but mainly portal recruiting once things open up. That said, while a majority of us on here haven't actually seen the NIL deals being signed, it's always been rumored/mentioned on here that we don't really front-load out deals as some others schools (i.e. Miami). Is this going to change in order to make us more competitive in the NIL market against the Miami's of CFB (I believe we've lost a few recruits to them due to their heavy front loading on deals), or are we going to keep the status quo when it comes to deal structuring? If anyone is at liberty to talk about it anyways.

Lagway, James and Smack Earn SEC Weekly Honors for Performances against LSU

The Gators took three weekly conference honors in one week for the first time in nearly eight years.



GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida Gators Quarterback DJ Lagway, Linebacker Shemar James, and Kicker Trey Smack all garnered weekly honors from the SEC for their performances in the Gators’ 27-16 win over the LSU Tigers, the Southeastern Conference announced Monday.



Lagway, James and Smack are the first trio of Gators to earn weekly honors in the same week in nearly eight years to the day, when on Nov. 21, 2016 Tyrie Cleveland (Freshman of the Week), Eddie Piniero (Special Teams Player of the Week), and David Reese (Defensive Player of the Week) garnered the same three honors against the same LSU Tigers.



DJ LAGWAY, QB – SEC FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK

Despite running only 43 plays and possessing the ball for just 18:17 minutes, Lagway authored an explosive performance, with seven of his 13 passes connecting for more than 17 yards.



He connected with Elijhah Badger in the first quarter for his lone touchdown pass of the day, a 23-yard connection to put the Gators up 7-0 early. Later, the freshman again completed a pass to Elijhah Badger for 36 yards – his longest pass of the day – to the LSU 1-yard line, setting up Ja’Kobi Jackson’s go-ahead 1-yard rushing touchdown to give the Gators a lead that they wouldn’t relinquish



Lagway finished with 13 passes on 26 attempts, 226 passing yards, one touchdown, and a 135.7 passer rating.



His nod is the second such weekly honor for the Gators this season, joining Jadan Baugh who took home freshman of the week honors following Florida’s win over Kentucky on Oct. 19. The Backfield of Baugh and Lagway has been a revelation for Florida’s offense, as the tandem has gone 2-0 while starting together. Their two starts are the only two all-freshman starting backfields in program history, and account for the only two wins by an all-freshman backfield in FBS this season.



He is the first Gators quarterback to win an SEC Freshman of the Week honor since Treon Harris did so on November 10, 2014.



SHEMAR JAMES, ILB – SEC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

The selection comes after James posted multiple career highs in Florida’s 27-16 win over the LSU Tigers, including sacks (2), pass breakups (2) and tackles for loss (2), while collecting a season-high 11 tackles.



James led a Florida front-seven that tallied 7 sacks of LSU Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier against an LSU Offensive line that had allowed only six sacks this season prior to Saturday. Florida’s assault up front stifled LSU’s run game, held to just 2.9 yards per carry on 44 attempts. Florida totaled 11 tackles for loss and 6 additional quarterback hurries.



He also accounted for two pass breakups, further disrupting the Tigers’ aerial attack as the pocket constantly closed.



TREY SMACK, K – SEC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Smack had a perfect night, drilling all five of his kicks including a new career-long 55-yard field goal. His 3/3 performance on extra points continued his perfect 34/34 season on point after attempts.



In the second quarter, Smack nailed a 49-yard field goal to secure a 10-7 lead for the Gators. In the third quarter, trailing 13-10, Smack concluded Florida’s eight play drive with the 55-yard rocket to tie the game.

Football Ole Miss tix

Hey y'all.....heading down for the game, 1st time in about 10yrs & bringing my oldest, now 21. He actually played HS ball with Jared Ivey (#15), the Ole Miss DE. They were both freshman on the North Gwinnett state championship team. I'm exploring all avenues at this point for 2 tix, donated, gifted, purchased, borrowed..... whatever works, so simply exploring opportunities. Also, would love to meet some of the great members on this board. Well be ready to rock the Swamp. Excited for the game!!!

New Story Culture

There is something to be said for culture.

I know we have all debated it from time to time - and rightfully so. Not once in Napier's tenure at UF have players jumped in their coach's face. Not once has Napier embarrassed a player or called-out his team as the primary landing ground for blame. He has been incredibly consistent in his messaging to the players. He has tried to build this thing from the ground-up and focused on a strong foundation with everyone rowing in the same direction and no one letting go of their paddle. Gator Nation has not been plagued by footballs scandals. No arrests; No NCAA investigations; No death threats; No mug-shots; No suspensions; No coaching fines.

I have close friends very high-up in LSU. They tell me that they see it now. They do not have a positive culture there. Their coach cares more about his own whistle than the betterment of the young men he coaches. They know it will not end well.

Some may think Billy's approach is an outdated, ineffective way to lead in today's social-media heavy, must-win-now, NIL and portal transfer world. I get it because we see examples on occasion of where that more frenzied approach has been successful at other places. I guess we will all find out together as this thing progresses. I know that when the Gators were looking for a head coach 3 years ago, we wanted something different than a quick start with early wins only to fizzle out in short order (been there done that with Swamp Donkey and Mullen). We wanted something sustainable. We wanted a coach who would be here a decade or more because hiring, firing, and paying buyouts for bad work is a really crappy recipe for success. Gator Nation deserved better. The AD had to do better.

I am not blind. I see the silly mistakes, the penalties, the losses, the painful lack of progress at times. I am not concluding by any means that Billy is "safe." But I also see ZERO QUIT in this team and coaching staff. These players have each others' backs. They will go to war for their coach - even when they are losing far too many battles. They are all in this together. This is a really, really tight group. There is no - and never has been -- team dissension. Trust me, we had a lot of that with our prior coaches.

And Gator Nation is something special (even with the few people here parked on my ignore list). When you sell out the 90k+ stadium game after game during losing season after losing season; when you are regularly in the bottom half of the SEC standings and yet you cannot hear yourself think on a Saturday in the Swamp; when 5 star recruits say they have never seen an atmosphere like Ben Hill Griffin Stadium; when Tom Petty is trending on Apple Music because of ..... us.; you understand why we deserve - no, why we demand! -- something consistently exceptional.

That is why, for me, it is so easy to root for Billy to turn this thing around. I know we are not there. We have a long way to go. I know one BIG win is not a trend. But holy crap, wasn't that fun last night!!!! Can't we ignore all the noise for just a little bit and storm the field in our own minds? Can't we jump in the boat, pick up a paddle and just row for a bit?

Because if Napier can get us back to where we belong, he will be here a very long time. And we will all be glad he is.

Sometimes There Are Special Moments

On Saturday the broadcast showed Tyreak Sapp kissing the Gator head in the tunnel. There was senior day when Brandon Spikes kissed the field before being introduced and in 2014 on senior day Patric Young, Scottie Wilbekin, Casey Prather and Will Yeguete all kissed mid court before they left for the last time. Maybe the SEC stole It Just Means More from us.

Ok, so ya’ll know Napier isn’t getting fired, right?!?!?

…who’s ready to admit it????

Judgment free zone in this thread…

and they might even win two of their last five to go to a bowl…just sayin’…

sadgator thinks it’s amusing that so many people are gonna be scratching their heads like, “how is Lane Kiffin ever gonna be our coach if the job never comes open!!?!?!?”

2. N’rd Bites- each strawberry N’rd covered gummy is packed with 12mg Delta 9 THC, 15 mg of CBD and 50mg of Vitamin D, so not only do you feel amazingly relaxed and refreshed when you take them, but you are also doing your body good by replenishing a vitamin that is essential to your health and wellbeing!

3. 125mg Delta 8 THC Gummies- provide a robust, pain-killing and relaxation experience, as well as a soothing body sensation. They not only help you relax but also help you sleep all the way through the night. We use all-natural flavors and colors and they are vegan and gluten-free.

4.Green Crack Bites- Pear flavor meets 25mg of Delta 9 THC live Rosin and our premium, hemp-derived gummy. Why Live Rosin? Live Rosin captures the entire spectrum of healing from the hemp flower and concentrates it into a healthier, solventless package that is about as close to nature as you can get. Not only have we infused this gummy with 25mg of hemp derived delta 9, but we have NOT added any artificial colors, flavors, or sugars. We believe that these products are medicine and as such, they should be as clean and healthy as possible. As always, Rogue has made sure to third party lab test these gummies so you can be sure they are free of artificial dyes, sugars, and flavors, as well as being vegan and gluten free.

5.Slap Yo Mama 275mg Delta 8 THC Gummies- By far the most powerful gummy we produce. These peach flavored Delta 8 THC gummies are for people who suffer with extreme pain and work well for people with insomnia. They also contain chamomile and vitamin B6. THC is absorbed in the stomach and then enters the bloodstream. All Rogue gummies are also vegan and gluten free. Edibles often take 60-90 minutes to begin functioning. However, once the feelings kick in, they are believed to last up to six hours, significantly longer than any other forms of Delta 8 THC. The fundamental appeal of gummies is the endurance and strength of the effects.

6.Honey Orange Blossom Full Spectrum CBD Gummies- Give you access to all the plant has to offer and is what gives them a leg up on other gummies. These organic gummies have the ability to provide users with an entourage effect, which means that all the cannabinoids blend together to produce a symphony of healing. These honeyed orange blossom, naturally flavored, pectin squares are powerful CBD full spectrum gummies and are the perfect addition to your bedtime routine. One or two of these before bed and your aches and pains will melt away as you sink into your bed and into a deep, refreshing sleep. These are best for night time use.

7. 1000mg / 2000mg Delta 8 THC Tincture- Tinctures give you the ability to be exact with your dosing, with a convenient dropper bottle that makes each serving easy. With our Delta 8 THC tinctures, we’re working with the highest-quality, crystal clear delta 8 distillate that comes in at a 94 percent purity level. With that being said, if gummies are too inconsistent for you, give our tincture a try, so that you can really dial in your dosing and get your heal on.

We offer our delta 8 tincture with hemp-derived terpenes, as well as a 1/1 CBG Isolate/Delta 8 THC 2000mg tincture option. Our tincture formula comes in a wide variety of absolutely tantalizing flavor options. Just a single dropper of tincture is enough to give you the potent effects of this psychoactive compound, delivering sweet relaxation and euphoria for hours at a time.


8. 1000mg Broad Spectrum CBD Pet Tincture- With all the benefits of CBD, you can show your pet a little more love. Flavored with all-natural bacon flavor, every drop of our CBD Dog Tinctures is produced with a combination exclusively for your four-legged companion.

Our formula may help pets cope with stress, relieve joint and muscular pain, and improve their sleep and attitude. Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial to the skin, fur, heart, and hormones. Excellent for older pets, post-surgical recuperation, and daily health maintenance as an alternative to prescription drugs after consulting with a veterinarian.


9. Delta 8 THC / Delta 9 THC Gummy Sample Packs- Rogue Shop has a lot of delicious, hemp derived Delta 8 THC and Delta 9 THC options. Maybe you’ve been wanting to try something new, but don’t want to commit to anything huge. Then the Rogue Shop’s Sample Pack is for you! We picked out five of our favorite Delta 8 THC / Delta 9 THC gummies and sealed them up all snug in our compostable bags. This pack should definitely help you find what you are looking for!

10. THCA Flower Smalls- If you are looking for a big bud experience on a small bud budget, look no further and check these indoor hydro smalls. THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is the precursor to delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. In its raw form, cannabis produces THCA rather than THC. THCA is non-intoxicating, meaning it doesn’t produce the typical “high” associated with THC.

BUT! And this is a big BUT, when cannabis is heated through processes like smoking, vaping, or cooking (a process known as decarboxylation), THCA is converted into Delta 9 THC. This activation step removes a carboxyl group from THCA, turning it into the psychoactive THC. This is why smoking or cooking cannabis is necessary for experiencing its psychoactive effects.

THC is known for its psychoactive properties and is responsible for many of the characteristic effects of cannabis, including euphoria, relaxation, altered perception of time, and increased appetite. It also has therapeutic properties, and pharmaceuticals containing THC are sometimes prescribed for medical purposes, such as managing pain or nausea.

11. 50mg Delta 8 THC gummies- THC gummies are extremely popular. They provide healing and relaxation effects that will help you sleep through the night. Allowing your body the proper rest promotes healing and peace of mind. Delta 8 THC edibles often take 60-90 minutes to begin functioning. However, once the feelings kick in, they are believed to last up to six hours — significantly longer than any other form of Delta 8 THC. The fundamental appeal of gummies is the endurance and strength of the effects. They also have an incredible flavor. All Rogue Shop Delta 8 THC gummies are all-naturally flavored and gluten free.


12. 45mg Delta 9 THC Mega Gummies- These Delta 9 THC gummies are a HUGE way to get some relaxation in! Our hemp derived delta 9 THC gummies are massive so we could pack them chock full with 45mg of Delta 9 THC. Not recommended for beginners, these one of a kind edibles are completely federally legal since they are derived from hemp plants, not marijuana, but that doesn’t mean you will feel any less canna-bliss because these mega pyramids really pack a punch. If you are tired of eating multiple lower dosed D9 gummies and ready for a true treat that will help you reach nirvana that much faster, let these Strawberry Rhubarb and Blue Raspberry Mega gummies give you a run for your money! These are best for use when you don’t have ANYTHING else that needs to be done.

13. 125mg HHC / CBN Gummies- Our HHC Gummies, short for hexahydrocannabinol, and at roughly 80% potency of traditional Delta 9 THC, these gummies are even stronger than our amazing Delta 8 THC 125mg gummies and are bound to bring back some memories of your college days. Our HHC is born from hemp and known by most to create a more euphoric and elevated state than the more sedative isomers like D8 and D9. These are a great choice for a lazy weekend where restoration is on the schedule, but a certain level of functionality is still required. All-natural grape flavor and always gluten free.

14. Full Spectrum CBD Tincture- Our full-spectrum, high-powered hemp tinctures are created from the oils of organically grown hemp, and then immersed in MCT oil (derived from coconuts) and drizzled in the natural flavoring of your choice. “Full-spectrum” means that our tinctures are bursting with all of the cannabinoid goodness the hemp plant has to offer, along with every terpene, flavonoid, and nutrient in the plant to deliver the entourage effect for max results and effectiveness. Cannabidiol (CBD) may be useful in managing anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain, and even recovery from sports-related exertion. Of course, we only harvest the finest hemp possible, which starts with organic, pesticide-free crops. Our hemp extract is lab-tested to make sure that its purity and quality levels are beyond exceptional. Choose between a variety of irresistible all-natural sugar free flavors and enjoy placing a dropper of this tincture below your tongue for nice n’ easy absorption as part of a simple yet effective daily routine.

15. 1000mg Delta 8 THC Totally Baked Brownie Kit- Rogue Shop’s “Totally Baked” brownie kit has everything you need to make the perfect infused edible. Team Rogue tasted A LOT of brownies before they arrived at the perfect recipe and potency and then we packaged it up for you to approve. Our kit comes with brownie mix, infused oil, and even the pan! All you need to add is water and an egg and you will be the life of the party! Or maybe you want to keep them all for yourself….we will never tell!

Why our kit?

Rogue Shop’s gluten free brownie mix is packaged in a certified facility and then our kits are assembled by hand and lab tested for potency and safety. You COULD make your own, but you can’t be sure how much you are getting that way, so play it safe and let Rogue do the heavy lifting.

New Story Recruiting Resurgence....

Can be attributed to 2 simple things:

1. The statement sent out by AD, Scott Stricklin that Billy Napier would be back.

2. DJ LAGWAY! We are seeing more and more top kids want to play with him on offense. Also, kudos to kids like VB3 and Myles Johnson for continuing to chop wood and recruit anyone and everyone to join them in Gainesville. We have a really tight group of commits that are working O/T to have top talent join them.

Short and to the point but it really is that simple.
