There’s no way this kid is not a Vol, right?
The family aspect is huge and from what I’v heard, was a key contributor to swaying Nico and that this kids family is bout in as well.
Well, NIL didn’t hurt, but the family thing was a big impact.
GBO!!

I believe family is communicating with both schools. There's truth in this. I think you have to say who are are top 3 guys on offense and the top 3 on defense that you must get and be prepared to pay almost whatever it takes to get them then be willing to let guys walk because they want too big of an NIL deal.

Wow quite an acknowledgement. So it is a bidding war. No wonder it's been going back and forth.

Collective has to go all in on this guy, then the fans need to live up to their end of the bargain by joining Volunteer Club to refill reserves for the rest of the class.

Same. That number needs to be closer to 10,000 if we think we're going to Atlanta again.

those 25 other big donors are giving alot of money.

Hope this is an AP impersonation based in fact

It will suck so bad if he picks Miami. I will hate Miami with the intensity of 10,000 suns. Let the NCAA bust Ruiz. Is this guy giving away his entire fortune to get Miami back to relevancy?

yes, yes he is

 

[Blake25p]

For some reason I’m not even worried about this one, I think he’s a Vol.

Bump

 

[volsagain]

yes, yes he is

He's lost a ton of money in his business. Hopefully that will slow his arse down

if he doesn't pay every penny he promises he's screwed

 

[BigSteve09]

I don't think the players are being "bought" outright. It is my understanding that these big NIL deals are essentially advances for the kid to sign away their NIL rights to the collective representing them for x amount of dollars. Any money made on their NIL goes to the collective until the amount of the advance/contract is met. So someone like Ruiz, or a collective, is making an investment now, but they will get that money back over however many years.

Therein lies the problem that any kid will have if they sign with Miami based on an NIL deal. Their earnings from NIL greatly depend on one man's business remaining successful. There's a lot more security in working with a collective.

Hadn't thought of that. Good point.

May be jaundiced. Definitely health issues. Need to second guess here.
