Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[hooperj75]

This kind of ish is what I don't love about the leader of our squad. If you're a leader this stays tight. Yes this could be a manager doing it, but it is dumb and Nico has not nearly proven enough for a strong arm deal. IMO. JmO don't taze me.

Gaston Moore is a better QB anyways. I read it in the football forum.

This made him very angry..

re-read what you just posted... a kid that is good at his position, but not Heisman worthy as of yet, didn't get his contract agreed, signed, and put to bed like the majority of his teammates by the end of the year--- Getting it done by the end of the year with his team?--- THAT would be the sign of a leader and not putting himself first before the team or thinking/acting like he is above them... Yet it's been going since fall and it still hasn't been finalized? That situation and how he's seemingly handled it sucks... not the fans for calling him and the situation out...

I'm about over college sports. Between NIL, corrupt officiating, ticket prices, and additional "talent fees" tacked on, I've had just about enough. The fans are getting screwed the most. It's rotten.



*I blame Nick Saban

Me too



Unless we win

Except for maybe @Lawrence Wright i have never liked a Gator post, but this one was allright.

Why crank this out 2 days before the ORANGE & WHITE game??? It seems like they're setting up Nico to get booed and his parents (dad) to get their feelings hurt. Is this "poor timing" or "calculated timing"?

 

[DD4ME]

Come on dawg. We got a little less cause we had to square Nico (again) but we are good for it.

Only team to be worried about is Villanova, the rest are for show. Still believe in the end Rice comes to Tennessee to play in backcourt with Gillespie...

I cant stand keyboard badasses but that's funny.

Hoping so.

Lol

Don't play with my emotions Smokey

The Nico situation doesn't bother me. Tennessee has a QB room full 4* and 5* Quarterbacks. If Nico leaves, he leaves...or if he stays, he stays. ~ quote the Raven nevermore...

I of course would rather he stay. But I don't know how they keep all those QBs happy.

 

[csprig9]

a complete meltdown by our fanbase

I mean
What did you expect

People donating money to pay people to play a sport

Sometimes people are gonna be pissed, especially when your team leader lets it be known publicly that’s he might transfer lol

Kinda pisses me off the more I think about it

Shows his level of maturity IMO

This stuff should be done behind closed doors…. Especially if they do t think their salaries should be public

I would rather people let it play out as the headline isn't always the full truth. But I know that's not the VN way.

 

[UTProf]

Agents and NIL but mostly agents. If cfb doesn’t get a handle on this they’ll lose a large portion of the fanbase. Between this and a madness free March, college sports are losing their magic. Take away the love fans and alumni have and all that’s left is an inferior product to pro leagues.

I don’t think Nico is going anywhere or that he even intends to but this and every other agent pulling this on fanbases around the country damages enthusiasm and support.

Why Nico Iamaleava would be wise to stay with Tennessee, eschew transfer portal amid reported contract talks
