I wouldn't be too concerned over the negative recruiting, because Tennessee can use it to their advantage come here we are the best at compensating for your future value.
Bru has a long road to being fully recovered. I would be shocked if he is active to start fall camp, and if he is his speed will be major issue. He might be better off adding 20 lbs and moving to TE.
Much like baseball, small market teams won't spend money unless they know they see a chance to make a run at the playoffs. Tennessee/Spry could be holding some coin for the next 2nd and 3rd years of Nico starting. Getting to the top 12 in 2024 is going to be difficult given we have both Georgia...

If you put Nico out there and gets hurt you are putting next year in jeopardy. If he does you are looking at starting a true freshman or a transfer portal guy next year. This year is what it is, let him get mop up duty when available, those reps will help get him get ready. Kirby wasn't worried...
