Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[RiseToTheTop]

He struggles in cold games.

Can argue he struggles in all games that arent 7v7

Do we think we actually get a good QB from the portal? The names mentioned in articles I've read have been kind of lackluster, IMO.

Luke Altmyer has not been eliminated. Stay strong.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

As far as a vet QB needing more than the summer session to figure out the offense.

How about Joe Milton? He figured out the offense just fine after summer workouts and camp...he just missed too often.

None of these other guys will miss a million wide open guys all over the
field.

We will always run the ball well, Heup still schemes them open and our defense is good. Great things can still happen.

You know, part of me feels a bit bad for Nico. It’s really just a sad situation. Tennessee obviously did the right thing and we’re going to be better off long-term, but to watch a career derail like this in real-time is tough. He seemed by all accounts like a quiet kid who just wanted to play football, and now his dad and handlers have likely ruined him.

If he ends up at a place like Tulane, it will be funny, but also just a really sad outcome of this entire thing.

I forgot how many wide open throws he missed against bama lol

 

[UTgrad2015]

I have never seen a train wreck in person, but Nico’s career is as a close as I’ll get to witnessing one

 

[BigSteve09]

Part of it is that. Ultimately it's just frustrating that it all had to play out like this.

 

[GoVawls1821]

Man I really hope we get a starter out of the portal. Just feels like it would be too risky to stick with Merk and George. I hope @dascoop or @KingVFL weigh in soon. As a side note, I sure do miss ATLVol... Man would come in here and calm the situation down. Would have loved to still have him around during a weekend like last weekend.

Nico and dad are scrambling harder than Bahama John in 2017 right now.

He's an adult. If you are making millions you need to grow up. We are past the point of treating these college kids with gloves while they are trying to milk every penny from the fans and boosters.

I have changed my opinion some….this is on Nico.
He’s an adult. He’s got money. He scared to tell dad/handlers to butt out?

As a *FORMER* Mavs fan. I've now gotten to watch TWO Nico's in the past three months ruin their careers over the most shocking decisions.

Between Iamaleava and Nico Harrison. I'm not sure which is worse! But I don't like the name Nico right now.

This.

I was of a similar mindset as the original post you were replying to, until I saw the reports that he was threatening to sit for the CFP game(s). That’s inexcusable.

As long as they are putting forth an effort and uphold the end of the deal they signed they have my support. I know players will have slumps and some just won't end up living up to the hype. I won't forgive people who take our support for granted and try to screw over the program without any regard to the commitment they agreed to and the program they are supposed to care about.

“…for their exemplary 13-12 record over the past two seasons.”

 

[Plove23]

Nico's dad should've been more like @Plove23 as a family member of an athlete.

It's been crazy

 

[Jackcrevol]

how is anyone not laughing at their dicks off at these clowns?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Lol!! What a joke! They have a lot of accomplishments they haven’t attained to put you in the discussion for having your number retired. I can probably understand Hunter since he won the Heisman, but Shedeur has no business getting his number retired. Laughable!

 

[Plove23]

I'd be interested to hear Cam's reaction to the news

He was shocked about it as well

 

[Plove23]

Don't know about the Nico situation outside of it really sucks all around. I'm a VFL, but do hope Cam stays healthy and balls out at Tech. I'll be watching and cheering for him.

...thank you so much, so appreciated

 

[Plove23]

That’s a really thoughtful sentiment. Please post cam stuff here. as many have said on here the staff should have kept him at his natural position (wr). He might of stayed and guess what. We need WR’s haha.

Will do, ty. Yeah i see that. But I hope things get better
