Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Govolsman98]

I'm seeing reports that AP overdosed on extra crispy chick fil a nuggets. His post about Nico was made in a delusional state prior to passing out

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Thanks for the clarification. This is unfortunate

What does 50/50 mean here?

 

[tnhunter 10]

I'm done with the NIL drama. I'll cheer for whose on the team in the fall.

 

[JCVol00]

Nico did not play good enough last year for this type of drama

What does 50/50 mean here?

It’s just an AP joke.

These goobers try to up their e cred with bosses by writing click bait for vol twitter to come and feed off of. Look boss, I am still relevant. Look at my engagement numbers. Pat Forde taught all of them a master class for that.

It doesn’t really seem like it was clickbait right now with the most recent reports that he wasn’t at practice.

 

[Jackcrevol]

why don't we take a wait and see approach here, before rushing to judgement. could be a completely isolated thing.

could also be exactly what folks are saying.

either way we have no impact.

ill say this, if even half of this is true. our purported team leader put us in a very awkward, public situation.

Dad Nic can be mad all he wants. But when you've got that kind of coin in pocket, been entrusted with the keys, and reach out for more. AFTER Spring Practice, after not earning it.

I say pay the kid what he needs. Its his team for 2025. Beyond that, Id make a mental note that come next fall. When last TD is thrown, help him get to the league. If not, a new start may he best.

Again, wait and see. This makes us look weak, and makes them look bad.

Either way its lose lose.

we arent desperate. but we did invest a lot in this kid.

That’ll be $9.95 to find out bruh

Ahh gotcha lol

Ohio state

*I think they'd take him and pay him what he is asking for.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Practice was 50/50 today.

AP needs to turn off the Masters and do an emergency podcast.

 

[headhunter15]

 

[headhunter15]

AP on VQ confirming Nico was not at practice today. So it begins.

Damn…the one I was wanting to see tomorrow.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Just to see the look on Charlie Murphy's face. I
Would love to open hand slap a bitch.

 

[VolNash17]

This is all ********. Tired of this ****.

 

[vols 30]

When you’ve loved something for 30+ years it takes time.

Twss

 

[VolNash17]

I’ve donated money. Along with many others to NIL enough is enough. Put in a one week transfer portal for February and be done with it

 

[Kurtastrophe]

This looks like it is going to really blow up now. NFL reporters making jokes about it.

 

[Adam2014]

I understand that lawsuits are what everyone is doing these days, but are we legally obligated to “adjust to the market” with Nico’s NIL deal? Could they sue?

I would assume not, but who the hell knows what’s going on these days.

Football had a lot of turnover especially on offense. Not a fan how some unproven players handled that situation by making big demands...not a fan that a lot of that news got out too. My approach would be similar to how Rick Barnes has had it, ya never really know if a player is leaving until they enter the portal...but once they take that step it's done. He doesn't let them leverage "I'm in the portal" to try and up their $$$ for NIL. Either you agree to what was offered or you don't, don't come back after saying yes days later wanting more (like Aidoo).

Would it be hard to replace some of the guys the football team had play that game, sure....but we as fans wouldn't know any different. Considering how many guys Heupel & staff were okay with letting leaving I'll just have to assume they retained the best guys and the guys they felt they needed.

AP went down a list of guys we haven't gotten and where they are and overall we are hitting on our "evals". I want to win, but I see no issue with a touch more line in the sand. Now that said unfortunately some of this is posturing before the ruling. Both sides.

[Jackcrevol]

Sounds like decision's been made.

 

[Adam2014]

Unless this is a coincidence that he missed practice (seems unlikely), Nico’s dad got on Twitter and slandered a reporter for telling the truth. That is a really bad look.

VOLtwitter!!!!!! ............ Assemble


*Is On3 headquarters in Birmingham??? This feels like something a Gump would do.

Too public to be nothing or dad's part to be all of it. Either way my man and his dad ain't signed their contract. Those were facts from VQ. IMO let's get to less grabbing more signing John ️
