‘23 CA QB Nicholaus Iamaleava (Tennessee)

[GUNTERSVOL]

We had one but he wasn't high level, more of a take on the fly that never panned out. Think he was a TE transfer a few years ago.

It is my understanding that Nico is excellent at VB too. I don’t know how the movement and anticipation required in that sport translates to FB. Can’t hurt in the conditioning and flexibility area either. Looking forward to Spring practice reviews and hope it shortens his fall learning curves. There will be bumps in the road. Hope most are out of the way in mop up and before a real need for a backup.

Just so you know your reference, that song was about nuclear holocaust and the end of the world. lol

Aren't they all to some degree?

To what degree is "Don't worry, be happy" about nuclear holocaust.

Easy, by the time the bombs drop you're dead.

No need to duck and cover if you're in the kill zone

Are you a KNS employee planting dumb storylines for KNS to pick up for clickbait?

"A lot of Vol fans are worried that..."

No, the kid is skinny as hell. And, who reads print media anyway?

This is kind of what was referring to the other day in regards to Nico's deal.

Reporter says Nico Iamaleava is 'playing for a contract' and has another lucrative NIL deal lined up

Here's the answer to the question - when was the last time Tennessee signed the number one overall player?

Trey Smith if you follow ESPN. Bryce Brown otherwise

Never? I guess on what service? Not uniform on the rankings.

Bryce Brown, Eric Berry, and Kahlil McKenzie would be the closest in the current century. Too much further back and I'm not sure the "national recruit rankings" would be as meaningful.



EDIT:

Trey Smith if you follow ESPN. Bryce Brown otherwise

Well, duh. Shame on me for not immediately thinking of our pancake machine in the middle.

One thing it might help with is his pocket awareness, assuming he is playing team volleyball. In that you have to know where your teammate(s) are so you can do whatever or be ready for what they are doing. May help him read the pocket a little easier and hopefully find the openings he needs or at least know when to get rid of the ball.

He chose money over winning

Good riddance

Yeah, it lost me at Dennis D...

At some point though to beat UGA at their current level of performance we are going to have to put some NFL ready big uglies on the field to block UGA’s DL.

Not my favorite either but it wasn't much about him.
