Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Garren04]

Well there it is from C Low

 

[DD4ME]

Sounds like decision's been made.

That dude can put on skates IMO.

 

[Govolsman98]

Everyone knows that the media is the enemy of the people right?

 

[knoxvol52]

Well who's going to call Chris Low a Liar? The report obviously has legs or Low wouldn't touch it...

 

[Kurtastrophe]

What a mess.

 

[DD4ME]

Well there it is from C Low

I told y'all this was all too public. And imo we can blame fans all we want, but there are people making and kids receiving a hell of a lot of money for this never to hit the street. Somebody should be fired over this handling.

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.

I just dont see how any logical business mind can see past his current evaluation? the money is right. even with inflation, he still has not earned more.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Give me Merk.

Well, it sounds like daddy is handling the negotiations and we see how smart he is lol

Or got mad that UT flew the flag publicly that the kid was strong arming us to garner public opinion. I think the tea leaves are clear his honeymoon is over.

those thinking the team will be better or as good without nico are incorrect.

 

[HypeVol2020]

This makes me wonder if the dad and friend commenting “there are no contract negotiations” means they are done negotiating. We need more information.

 

[DD4ME]

Give me Merk.

Let's ride. This season was a rebuild and the future is Frazier IMO. Back the cash up to other needs and move on.

 

[Newman]

those thinking the team will be better or as good without nico are incorrect.

Yup. He may not be all world but our floor is a lot higher with him than anyone else at this point.

Yeah, fans didn’t do this. I’m sorry.

 

[DD4ME]

those thinking the team will be better or as good without nico are incorrect.

Those thinking we can be hostage to Nico and afford our roster after are incorrect.

They let Rickey Gibson do it.

 

[Adam2014]

Here are the CFP championship odds for next year. If we call his bluff and he walks then what team on this list is going to take him? He can’t transfer to any of the SEC schools because of the spring portal rules. This brings me to another question? What’s the best he could do if he leaves?

 

[TrippieRedd]

I don’t care if he leaves or stays.

It sucks that we didn’t get Merk more reps, but oh well, I personally don’t think we were hitting 10 wins this season anyways.

I’m not gonna support giving more money to a kid that gave us JG like results in a much more dynamic offense. Sampson and defense was the reason we played so well last year.

Let the kid leave. Get Merk ready for game 1. Take all the Nil this kid tied us for and give it to some portal guys.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Well, it sounds like daddy is handling the negotiations and we see how smart he is lol

I couldn't say whether he is or isnt.

Quite frankly, in terms of outcomes. Nico is likely to get a pay increase. So, objectively, he is making a business move.

 

[Jimmy Football]

those thinking the team will be better or as good without nico are incorrect.

Your team leader can’t be holding out. We may be worse in the short term, but you really set the stage for long-term turmoil if you tolerate this.

 

[DD4ME]

Yup. He may not be all world but our floor is a lot higher with him than anyone else at this point.

As a single data point only. Now add in the domino's if he is not living up to the full scope 0f the position. Everyone is saying the guy is not a take charge dude. No one is talking about great progress. Hell every reporter the other day cited he had an off day. If he stays he has my support, but he does not have my support over Heupel and this team. He has earned 0 to support that and no single player ever will.
