Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[itsme]

No way Coach Heup didn't know this was coming and didn't contingency plan for this.

There are rumors

AND......

CAN WE STOP BASING OUR FEELINGS OFF THE RECRUITING SERVICES STAR RANKINGS AND JUST TRUST OUR COACHES TO BRING IN WHO WE NEED.

Depends on how you define “we”. You are welcome to proceed however you like.

You tell him sure, then get him a new one. If you can afford it.

Also you tell him this is a good reminder we buy the T on the front and not the name on the back.

Or do this

Can we review again the fact that Donde and the Admin went to bat publicly against the NCAA for this Polynesian twerp and he pulls this 'ish?

Someone bring me a gif of Donde bending Nico over her knee and spanking him like a little kid and then throwing him out tha door...

Would love to have been a fly on the wall when Danny White went to Donde and the administration and said…Nico wants 4 million or he’s leaving.

If this turns out to be true, lmaoooooooooooo. Nico’s family turning him into a national pariah only to end up at like Oregon State for less money than he was making here would be so funny.

Lots of speculation where Nico ends up st. One school that can pay what the "handlers" wink, wink desire is Texas Tech with all that Mexican Mafia money.

UCLA imo.

Had to switch the avi from Nico after the Bama game. Hubbs for the win. I randomly paused the VQ podcast one day and it was mid scratch.

I don’t think Nico was worth the extra $$ but that doesn’t mean we’ll be fine in 2025. We’ll take a step back as I would also be surprised to see us pay for a proven QB. Very much looking at a rebuilding year and need to stock talent for 2026 if we can hold onto it.

Maybe, maybe not. If a step back is made it’s more because we lost a lot on defense and D. Samp graduated. It won’t be because we lost Nico.

CJH and his staff have had their best seasons when their backs have been against a wall.

Nico will likely be a part of the football landscape for awhile. If he stays in character there will be flashes or maybe he just doesn't want to play football?

Nico’s going to end up at some mid school, win 8 games, get drafted in the 6th round on talent alone, then flame out.

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

One thing is for sure: Volnation is BACK

 

[itsme]

Just wish it would've happened a few months ago, so Merk could've gotten more reps

I think it was intentional by Nico and his handlers to inflict damage if he waited until just before the Orange and White game. Thought it would put the power in their hands. I guess he found out.

Clausen has been taken... Sorry

Welcome to Hubbard avi club!

I’ve committed to the Hubbard avi club. I’d like a double portion of my NIL deal or I’m out.

New avi???

I'm not sure Merk wasn't getting a lot of reps.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

I do feel bad for Nico. Most kids look to their parents for guidance and trust their advice. Nico’s father simply sabotaged his career due to ignorance and greed. Nico has to be thinking why the hell did I listen to him.

The saying it’s never as good or as bad as it seems. Well this is as bad as it seems for Nico, for his career and relationship with his family.

 

[MarcoVol]

The Nico stuff - perhaps the market is beginning to correct itself. Of course if someone else pays him $4M then it doesn’t matter but if he takes less than that amount somewhere else….
