Where is Nico likely to land?

[Woodlawn VOL]

Gonna be funny when schools start playing hard ball on that 4 million dollar demand. I’m not so sure he’s gonna get it. And if he does the pressure is going to be immense. And if he gets it in Cali that 4 million will be closer to Tennessee money once the state income tax smacks hard into that 4 million. GBO

 

[HeuperDrive]

Better question if he goes to Wisconsin, do you root for the gumps when they play in September?

Team Meteor all the way

though I’d certainly be wishing for Bama’s D line to rough him up

 

[HalfullVol]

He’ll land at some middling D1 program.

This level of ball is based on success on the field. Some team looking for a spark will roll the dice on him as he is probably better than what they currently have.

We will witness the circus as it becomes apparent what his future holds but bad decisions have been made in his camp.

Go Vols!

Nico’s team decided to get him outta this league. It was making him look bad

I saw watch out for Belichick

That's an interesting thought. Although will Belichick bring his "just do your damned job" method of dealing with players to CFB and will that work with a prima donna like Nico?

who really care Rico Imalivin is gone

Does Nico turn out to be just another low character player, that cares only about number 1?
Will Nico learn a valuable lesson from his putting himself ahead of the team?

UCLA is who I’ve heard his people have met with. Who knows, who cares.

You do have a point.

Why would some team NOW pay Nico $4 million when it has been established that the top of the market for him is the $2.4 million we were already paying him.

When Heupel who has theoretically watched him for over two years by this point and knows what he can and cannot do decides he is just not worth the $4 million ?

Rumors point to UCLA or Texas Tech. Hearing some buzz from friends in Texas that a mega donor at Tech is looking to get the team built up.

UCLA is likely. Their QB room isn't good, LA is home to Nico, and they have $$$.

I can’t imagine Nico going anywhere other than west coast school. UCLA almost makes too much sense

His brother decommitted from there & they don’t have the money. If it’s UCLA, he really stepped down. I say ND or Washington

 

[KELSOWAVOL]

Trash can State university.

UCLA has plenty of money. They have just decided not to spend it on football

Honestly, what is the last time they were even relevant nationally? Late 80s when they had Troy Aikman?

He signed Randy Moss. If anyone would look past the "this guy thinks he bigger than the school" and look at it as a business transaction it would be Bill. He has signed players and squeezed more out of them than anyone else, and he's ruthlessly cut guys.

Just depends if he thinks he's worth the money. Bill has $ to burn and doesn't like his QB room (is the rumor anyway).

 

[rocketskates]

Not sure, but given how bad he just made himself look in the national media my guess is it will be a step down.

 

[SpookyAction]

UCLA is ranked 46th in NIL avg. per player as of last August. Do they have this kind of money?

 

[Carl Pickens]

Colorado needs a QB…. They probably like dabbling in whores too.

who really care Rico

He won’t be making 4 million there. I’ll be surprised if he gets 2.4.

Whoever it is lands on my “teams to root against” list. How about that?

 

[Exiled]

I’m not sure Nico and his group have the leverage they think they have.
