Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I’m just saying he’s adding fuel to a fire he doesn’t need to. For someone whose been given so much access, I’m having trouble figuring out what he has to gain from this.

Someone also stated our last practice was Wednesday so the comment doesn’t even make sense.
It is his job to report who is at practice and who is not.

He said he was not at practice today, so we obviously practiced today. Why would he lie?

I saw five in-person games last season and thought Nico performed at about an average level for an SEC QB. He made some good throws and he made some bad throws, which is normal for his age and experience. I expect he made some good progress in the off-season, but, as the team leader, he cannot let agents or his parents cause disruptions. If UT has reached their limit with these antics, then cut him loose and prepare the next man. Catering to multiple renegotiations is not a good longterm plan for the school, but it is worse when the coaching staff gets blindsided by the player not reporting to practice.
I would argue that from the outside looking in, it’s hard to see how he would have made the most progress he could have if he is so worried about his money deal. Seems like he has spent more time thinking about that than putting his nose down, getting in the playbook, and working on his craft with his teammates.
 
We know the news broke about contract negotiations yesterday.

We know Nico’s dad got on Twitter and called the reporter who broke it a bitch.

We know Nico then did not practice today.

We have heard from a well-connected source (Chris Low) that Nico’s camp wants to renegotiate from 2.5 to 4 million. He also said the UT side is not going to blink.

We have heard from Hubbs (who is one of the most conservative people with news) that he doesn’t see a way this gets worked out.

We know quite a bit.

he didn't stir anything up, he reported who did/didn't show up

no different than a weather man telling you the current temperature

it's a fact, no slant
To me the fact AP reported that, Chris Low commented on the history of this situation, along with what hubbs said shows UT’s side is ready to move on. Maybe frustration built up from UT side fed the story to Nakos so “one of our own” didn’t get burnt at the stake for reporting it and get the wheels moving. Shannon also went to bat for Nakos. Where there’s lots of smoke…

Wasn’t this about TODAY’S practice?

Maybe, maybe not. The only other one I think would bolt if or when Nico leaves is MM ...that's it but he got his big NIL raise he should be "content".
Idk, he’s a fellow Georgia kid like Merk. They may have run in the same circles and have a tighter relationship than him and Nico.
