‘23 CA QB Nicholaus Iamaleava (Tennessee)

[Ashevolle]

Can we please get the correct pronunciation of this kids name before his Jr year, so we can avoid the whole, awkward JG and Vescovi, thing?
Asking for my friend Bob.
GBO!!

 

[DiderotsGhost]

It’s honestly funny that 247 doesn’t even have us as “warm” for him yet

Do they ever? Feel like half the recruits we sign, they have as being "cool" on us until they actually commit.

Nah I mean they had us warm for m’ba, nolen(until he commuted to tamu), and other players too. I think they tend to be a little more conservative this early.

Can we please stop with the pronunciation Kesling jokes?

Confirmed or your beat guess at it?

Confirmed

 

[cncchris33]

Confirmed

Cool, thanks. Not even close to how I'd have pronounced it, so good to know.

 

[Dudleys87]

Is it possible that after 12 years of being in football purgatory that we actually have good, competent coaches?

I don't know if I can allow myself to be that optimistic

I’ll take it a step further:

For once it feels like Tennessee has coaches that don’t just fill the class to have a full class.

 

[bigl3327]

No problem. I was butchering the kids name before. Not a lot of people of Polynesian descent in TN. I had a neighbor growing up that was Samoan. Everyone kept saying his name wrong, so he went by Pineapple.

 

[DeusExMachina]

I was pronouncing it EYE-uh-muh-lay-vuh.

I'm going with "yama-lee-ay-vuh"

 

[bigl3327]

I was pronouncing it EYE-uh-muh-lay-vuh.

Better than my original pronunciation. I'll use it in a sentence. If my wife don't stop shopping on Amazon "I'm a leava"

 

[Blake25p]

Imma-leave-ah

 

[therickbol]

Ves-CO-vee

 

[Orange.]

..."I'm a leava"

That's what he told Riley when asked to stay in Cali.

 

[bigl3327]

Cool, thanks. Not even close to how I'd have pronounced it, so good to know.

Even though I gave the correct pronunciation, it will be ignored. It's the Volnation way.

Everyone is going to continue to say "I am a leave-a".... except I'm just going to say Nico and not even attempt his last name.

EE-uh-molly--Ah-vuh

Iamaleava this right here...
GBO!!

 

[ERvolsfan]

EE-uh-Molly-aye-vuh..

This is my best guess

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Even though I gave the correct pronunciation, it will be ignored. It's the Volnation way.

I mean, the majority of us are East Tennessee hicks. I guarantee I’ll butcher the kids name.
GBO!!

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I also can't stop saying Nicholas like Nick Swardson does when impersonating his grandmother.

"Vols deep in it but with any BIGTIME QB it’s going to be a battle. Late spring decision."

Nothing like being Vols deep. There’s deep, and then there’s Vols deep.

Vols deep could be interpreted to be lil man instead of the big man.
