Now that it is out, this is the reason the staff was very confident they would sign Nico. The only hold up was getting him here, and making sure he truly loved Tennessee without the money, and he did. The money only officially ended things. He will officially be a Vol this time next year.

That is part of it, some players just chose to go elsewhere but yes, some Tennessee might have been able to sign one or two if they offered more money. The biggest reason they are not as active as the public thought they would be in the portal is because they can't be.. They are on a private...

This wasn't exactly this simple. In the end, Texas gave him around $1.5M over three years so money played a factor for sure. Tennessee simply decided it was not worth it in terms of potentially losing the locker room. NIL is not simply a bidding war between every program, as some assume it is...
