Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[vols 30]

Nico Gate?

Everything has to have a title

 

[UTSuave’]

Remember he was at ole miss before Illinois. He won’t be hard to coach up.

Ahhhh….but still huge gamble.just hard to understand he’s literally put his career on suicide.very disgraceful to witness knowing he’s a good,quiet and humble kid. nobody will sit here and say confidently say these actions are coming from Nico it’s not him.this was strategically planned by grown adults

 

[Vol423]

If Nico is currently making 2million but will only stay at UT for 4million, I’m fine with paying a one year rental 2.5million until Faison gets here in 2026.

I'd pull his current NIL deal and tell him good luck finding a place to play.

He already was at 2.5 guess is 3 for new offer which is what we offered Nico in incentives. So bottom line kid turned down 2.5 + 500k incentives to try and get 4 at random college.

 

[Mrpeabody8888]

Nico more likely to play in USC spring game than ours at this point. He is persona non grata at facilities right now.

 

[jakez4ut]

It's not dead but it's wounded . I've just about quit following recruiting. Now probably just wait until fall practice to see who we have on the team. I'm hoping Merk takes the reigns and out preforms what Nico did last year.

Meh. It's worse than the NFL now. At least they have a cap and it's a known when free agency, trades etc..

This is just dumb.

I really don't care. Stay. Go. Either way.

Totally irrelevant. The buck stops with Nico.

[vol4eva]

Will Levis got any eligibility left?

 

[MarcoVol]

Some good news

 

[MattR11]

ON3 - who had the initial intel and broke the story
Who is the parent org of VQ

Is now hinting next week we target a QB and might pay more than we did Nico. That's thumbing a nose if true.

Going after another QB would be tough when we have Merk, couldn't be good for the QB room either. Unless it was a depth QB, I think you need to roll with Merk.

 

[franklinpence]

We’re headed to the O&W game tomorrow. Looking forward to cheering for all the guys on the field.

Somehow NIL insulates these dudes from being labeled quitters. He just quit on his team. Call it what it is.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Who had Luke Altmyer as Tennessee’s starting quarterback in fall 2025? Anyone?

 

[Mrpeabody8888]

Probably leaving because they spelled his name wrong

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I like Brooks

 

[RikidyBones]

Nicos pops read the summary of Art of the Deal and thought he transformed into Donald Trump. Stupid ass.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

You guys now understand why I hate all of this stupid .

Screw Nico...Screw em all....they are all nothing but sorry money grubbing scumbags.

I have not been around because I am sick of all this ... I will always love the Tennessee Volunteers and I hope we always do well...but these players man...

Nobody here wants to hear it and I don't want to argue about it anymore...so..

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Does anybody here know if Rick Barnes was in Middlesboro Kentucky today supposedly talking to a LMU player?

Lots of folks in town were yapping about it today.

On the contrary, I think this will be a very popular sentiment on here for a while.

 

[headhunter15]

On3 on UT’s side. Said Nico’s camp is full of bad businessmen.

Listen at the 17:30 mark. Staples believes there will be a QB who enters the portal next week for UT that no one will see coming.

Cool Hand Luke

If I were Heupel, he wouldn't set foot on the field.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I know one thing for sure...the financial situation in CFB is absolutely untenable...this is wrong on every level...and..

I hope Nico rots.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

Can a duck pull a truck??! Hell yeah! Loved the interaction with that fanbase when they were on our schedule.

Same. Had a great time when they came out here too
