Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I can handle renegotiations…price of today’s business. Can’t handle sit-outs. Bespeaks weak moral substance from a player and family I previously had no issue with.
Tennessee went to bat for him to get paid a record amount at the time for the opportunity to play here. To date, he's gotten a crap ton of money to sit one year and to be medicore another. The fact that he thinks he deserves more is delusional.
 
IMO this is too far gone for him to stay. He’s lost the fanbase with this move and, per what some have reported on, the locker room as well, and even the staff is fed up with it. I don’t see how you save face here, because at this point the staff/university, if they cave, are saying one man is worth more than the rest of the roster.
Unless I missed things, he never really seemed loved by the locker room anyways. Always seemed like he was just kinda there

A individual posted in Portal thread that UCLA may have a deal set up for Nico and Madden to play together at UCLA.. @berryvol
Nighthawk is the one who posted that, but it came from a guy in the Trilly Donovan discord who has consistently brought good info there. I’m sure some will doubt it, just as they did his report yesterday that Nico had been sitting out practices. The guy doesn’t miss.

If this goes down like it seems like it will. Wouldnt surprise me in the least to see others on offensive side roll with him. This is just crap for the team, and for the coaches. How can you build and keep a roster when your players have everything to gain and nothing to lose?

Every high profile receuiting miss now stings more than ever. An offense that cant afford to lose anyone, may:
 
One thing is for sure. Other schools like Florida, Georgia, OSU, Texas, TAMU have it zeroed in now. We have to figure out how to not let this happen again. You gotta go get skill players, man.

Talkin Vawls live right now on youtube claiming Hubbs said, "I don't see this getting resolved."

And Hubbs is very conservative.

This is good news. We’d find the money if he were worth it.

Clearly the head coach and AD don’t think he is.

so maybe we downgrade a tad bit at the QB position. Maybe.

And we should be able to use that money to upgrade all over the field.
 
I dont understand how it got here, or why he'd go to USC. Why did he bother with Spring Practice? What a weird situation. Like why go to all that trouble.
Rumored it was to block any other QB from getting first team reps giving him more leverage. If that’s true that’s dirty. Which this whole situation is but that’s just low.

We've seen the Vols can go places with a strong running game. Onward!
