Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[gunner]

Buddy…Sampson had a 35 yard run, then Nico had a 20 yard run, THEN there was a pass interference penalty, THEN Sampson scored

Nico did not set up anything.

And yes, Merk can run 25 ****ing yards.

Go watch this throw to Donte Thornton , very special imho.



Vols don’t beat Alabama without Nico last season.

 

[knoxvol52]

would have to pay the QB more than Nico? Nope,nope. I refuse to go there...

 

[Ttucke11]

All this talk of ponying up the money would make more sense to me from some of our fanbase if Nico was actually a good QB.

So by your statement, we should be heading to the playoffs again this season, no excuses, right? CJH can't have it both ways... you're saying he built the team he wants, so it better perform, get to the playoffs, and win a championship because that's what he preaches, so if it doesn't happen with the team you say he is building to do so and win, then it's on him... again, can't keep making excuses and have it both ways... guess we'll see.

CJH recruited and brought in the players he wanted. He was building the team the way he saw fit. When your starting QB bails one day before the spring game because he is greedy, it throws a wrench in everything. Yes CJH deserves some leniency next year. He lost his starting QB and was blindsided by it. No options to pivot to. Most teams would be screwed if they lost their starting QB this deep in the offseason.

DJ Lagway. Would be hilarious

Have to admit, it's becoming harder to stay invested in college athletics. We're at a point where the only people expected to be loyal are the fans. Everybody else is free to go wherever, for any reason and at any time - including midseason in some cases. And that sucks.

Carson Beck now that is girlfriend dumped him.

 

[Billy Antrim]

Well, the good news is we might get a starting QB whose name we can pronounce.

 

[De La Cloobs]

The silence from Nico is just disrespectful at this point. I mean, the selfishness just keeps piling.

 

[peaygolf]

I don’t care if Nick Dunlap went to Bama…..he’s now one of my favorites.
90 yesterday and 4 under thru 15 holes today!!!!

Take a futures bet right now…..Nick Dunlap will win at Augusta before his career is over. Book It.

Kinda depressing, I just learned how to spell the possibly leaving QB's name. Nico..

What does that have to do with Nico?

 

[Jimmy Football]

Really unfortunate turn of events.

Get yo money. Fine….we’d all do the same
But skipping practice and going AWOL is classless.

 

[Jpcisco]

The suspense is going to kill me, glad the staff making moves and not letting this drag out.

 

[UTK]

Lmao let’s not speak such things into existence. But for real, what QBs are out there we were in heavy on in recruitment under CJH? I can’t think of many as we seemed to land the guy we wanted each cycle


BESIDES ****** TY SIMSPON LOL

 

[BJWeeks]

Go get TY Simpson

 

[TrippieRedd]

Go get TY Simpson

Lmaoooooo

 

[peaygolf]

What does that have to do with Nico?

I’m trying to forget about it……

Nico would have joined LIV…….

 

[UTK]

Go get TY Simpson

Bro we want a good QB lol

 

[Devo182]

It's hard to even care at this point with what's happening all around us and the teetering economy on the brink. College sports don't seem so important rn.

Hope the best for the kid and the program. We'll be fine regardless.

 

[knoxvol52]

Fred Couples at 65 years of age shooting a +3 thru 2 rounds is awesome...

 

[volamite86]

DJ Lagway. Would be hilarious

 

[TrippieRedd]

I see on On3 that Malik Murphy hasn’t signed with Oregon State.

Go get him.

(Unless he did sign already)

 

[UTProf]

You can’t be a leader and hold the team hostage. When players in the NFL do this there are contracts involved and holding out isn’t the same threat level because of those contracts. Seriously how much is Nico’s Name, Image and Likeness value right now? If we were truly using NIL it would’ve plummeted the past few days. But what is happening in college football is unregulated pay for play, only schools aren’t allowed to demand performance or even play.

It’s a completely insane system and the only winners are the agents and lawyers.
