‘23 CA QB Nicholaus Iamaleava (Tennessee)

[T2P_Priceless]

You are not the bad guy. APs statement is absolutely his best guess. It’s not a fact. It could be. Like I said to another poster, AP made an educated guess based on the info he got at the time and his gut feeling. That’s all. Situations can change quickly. There is nothing to worry about if he doesn’t commit this week.

Week isn’t over

Week isn’t over

Good point. I guess my point is I am not gonna worry if he doesn’t commit this week.

 

[drvenner]

Right about what? I’ve only brought what AP and others have said onto the board. It would not be me that’s right. It would be AP, Callahan, Wiltfong, Chad Simmons, and everyone else

Come on Bass. We have to blame someone. You're the messenger, so you get the blame.

Just remember that kids put hats on the table for the fans not for the schools. They’re already informed the schools what the pick is in most cases. I’m sure Nico and his family didn’t expect all of this to get leaked so fast so it’s not surprising that he dropped a top 5 to make sure the other staffs felt like this is being done respectfully. I’m sure Oregon offering a QB today is the direct result of Nico letting them know what choice he’s made.

GBO!

Actually, I just checked the Sweet 16. Doesn’t start until March 24th (next Thursday)

So we might not hear until next week

 

[drvenner]

LOL so he did drop a top 5 today?

Playing dumb is not a great look for you.. Be better.

We’re about to land a generational talent at UT and dude is being so weird about it

More things change, more they stay the same. But he’s ours.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

LOL so he did drop a top 5 today?

Yeah. And?

 

[GVol1966]

I mean his moment got absolutely stolen from him in this past week with the leak of his deal. Don’t Blame him for trying to drum up some interest.[/QUOTE]
Like an 8mil NIL wouldn’t

 

[SugarCC]

Not surprised. Not discouraged. Some of you all seriously need to find a hobby. Lots of smoke. It's coming.

It's a rhetorical question, predicated from jokes earlier in the thread about him dropping big gnus. And, it didnt fail.

To clarify APs comment a poster commented about the Sweet 16 starting next Thursday as a possible commitment timeline and AP replied with

No the Vols would be “IN” the sweet 16 by late Saturday.

 

[GVol1966]

He has already committed to us…… why are you all freaking out? Reminds me of the Justin Williams thread.

Proof? No there isn’t any, because he hasn’t. thus we have a top 5. Giving the others a few weeks to make an offer he can’t refuse

He has committed….. just like Justin Williams had committed when everyone was freaking out about Auburn….. All the signs are there even if you don’t want to see them.

This hill is not worth dying on.

 

[Dooby15]

Callahan with the CB. There it is boys

 

[drylo]

In his recent public comments, Iamaleava has indicated that he's likely to announce his college decision by May, and perhaps before the end of April. Sources now believe it's possible he will announce a commitment sooner than that, although his exact timeline for a decision still might be in flux.

Plugging this into my handy Callahan translator:

I’m not sure if it will happen by 8 PT tonight. Could be more like 9 PT.

 

[GVol1966]

He has committed….. just like Justin Williams had committed when everyone was freaking out about Auburn….. All the signs are there even if you don’t want to see them.

Just like Walter Nolan and Darnell Washington and many more. Always a few on here practically guaranteeing a player is committed before they do.
He may end up here and he may do like the others and disappoint the ones that “see the signs”.
I don’t count my chickens before they hatch!

Like a flat earthers convention around here sometimes lol

This hill is not worth dying on.

I sure hope these believers are right for once, because after being wrong on about the last 5 “gotta have, program changers “ I’m losing faith in them

Look at everyone posting their opinions as if they’re facts. I’ve been reading this board forever & been thru highs & lows with UT sports. I believe several things are happening (& have happened). I don’t need immediate confirmation. I really am enjoying the ride, not just with Nico but several players. Basketball has a legitimate shot at making a deep run in the tournament, baseball team is good and fun to watch. Compared to the last 5-10 years, life is pretty good for UT sports fans! Those of you that want to take a wait & see approach are entirely free to do so. I just don’t understand the need to take shots at your fellow fans that are excited about the chase.
