‘23 CA QB Nicholaus Iamaleava (Tennessee)

[Mr French]

If Bama wants him they will get him. The NIL deal will help us maybe. I hope I'm wrong.

They want Arch, Nico is option 2 but he isn't waiting until the fall like Arch

 

[ClearwaterVol]

I like where we're at with this kid. Think we have a solid shot at landing him. With UT he'd have a legit shot at starting from day one.

 

[Devo182]

He'd have the best QB coach HERE.

That should be reason enough.

But also...while bama and uga and such are gathering their monster NIL deals for Arch, ours will be directed fully at Nico.

Maybe Oregon can match that...but who is their coach? A defensive guy? That should be alarm enough. Everyone knows how defensive HCs handle their QBs and offenses...

Logically, this is the place to be for him...

True but he's dad was raving about their Oregon visit a few days ago...said it set the standard

Sure...nice facilities by Mr Nike. But who is Dan Lanning for QBs?

Lanning hired the FSU OC...who just put up 26 ppg the last 2 years

Hopefully he's thinking about long term development...not the glitz of Nike Headquarters.

Another pandering parent

Him choosing Tennessee would be like the stars aligning for us to truly be relevant again. CJH talks about getting the inches instead of yards and yes absolutely it is very visible to see Tennessee football has more life to it and closer to the goal after 1 year with CJH than it ever had was under the previous 3 put together.

Bama wants Arch as well. So using your logic they are going to get Arch and Nico right?

 

[UTK]

Maybe Im wrong but this kid ain't gonna end up at Oregon. He wants to play in the SEC.

Always loved clear bras.

clear bras are second only to no bras

My thoughts exactly. Why play in the minors when you can play in the majors? Kid’s signing with Tennessee.

By this time next week, Nico Iamaleava will be in Knoxville for a massive three day visit. The family has been making plans to check out different things in Knoxville. He will get plenty of time to spend with the staff, hear about NIL opportunities and find out what life would be like here in Knoxville. There is a strong belief that the entire family will follow Nico wherever he chooses to play his college ball.

The combination of Jack Luttrell and Ethan Davis will get turned loose again next weekend. Those two have already been working Nico very hard and work the Twitter scene on several other players as well.

The two best things would be the hair requiring a special helmet and Bob having to pronounce his name. Do The football Gods love me that much?

He’s repeatedly said he wants to play in the SEC

You realize that much like scholarships, NIL deals can be offered and then if someone else takes it, you can rescind that offer? There isn’t a cap on what you can offer at certain position. If you say they are both worth a MIl you offer them both that and whoever says yes first gets it. There is zero logic in thinking that offering funds to two players 9 months from now cost you anything today.

Heupel and Halzle are a great QB coaching tandem, but to say he'd get the best coaching here is a little ridiculous. Hooker improved mightily in his first year here, but our competition's selling points might be a *little stronger.

On the bright side, March the 5th says mostly sunny and 73. Here's hoping!

Breaking news!!!
Bob Kesling has just been arrested at the airport that Lamaleava's plane was expected to arrive at. Here is an undercover photo of him just before the arrest.

I question who (on his list) can offer a better offense and development as a QB.

I don't see anyone on his list. Just stacked teams that make people look good without actual development.

See: every Saban Bama QB once in the NFL

Dear god. Please show them the nice areas

just don't go near most of north, south, and especially east. Just go to Sequoyah and tell them that's Knoxville

Mac Jones was a 3 star who was a Heisman finalist, first round pick, and made the Pro Bowl after a great rooking season in the NFL lol. TF are you talking about

Lol so...1 season in...under Belichick...far from a successful NFL guy (17th in the NFL QBR...) . And even giving that up...that is one after Saban has had HOW MANY bluechip QBs? How long has he now been a HC coach? 27 years LOL.

Point is his hit rate is absurdly low...even with an insane influx of annual talent.

Heupel clearly does more with less. Oregon, UGA, Bama has no torch they can hold up that's close.

Give Heupel Alabama QB talent and good god...
