Big Dave was a suprise guest on tonight’s Miami Hurricanes Twitter Space! Yep, that's the dad of D.J. Uiagalelei, Florida State's QB.
It was a vibe. Dude's a total culture fit, and it was a blast getting to know him.
We kept it real covering everything from the wild ride of his sons' recruiting journey to some juicy NIL gossip.
Our Hurricanes fanbase welcomed him with open arms. We even got schooled on some insider knowledge, like how recruiting stars determine a player's market value, and where the real money is at — university collectives.
Big Dave isn't just your average football dad. He’s been through the whole recruiting circus twice for his sons. He also started his own athlete management gig, helping kids and families navigate the wild world of NIL deals.
Big Dave had high praise for our Heisman candidate signal caller Cam Ward and Francis and Francisco — “his family.” He also mentioned having a good relationship with Coach Cristobal and Joe Salave'a and made mention of discussions about creating more opportunities for Samoan players in Coral Gables.
Big Dave wrapped up the chat with a heartfelt "God Bless the Miami Hurricanes" and promised to swing by our FSU tailgate. Hey, family comes first, right? So, you best believe we'll have a Tomahawk ready and waiting for him.
This site just gets better & better what an update what a flip! Fan of the canes but son playing at FSU could be an inside job by Mario! Chess not checkers
