Its not that Nico's physical skill set didn't fit. It was Nico's mental makeup and personality. He wasn't a leader. He was aloof and introverted. Plus he seemed to play scared. Mentally he is not cut out to be a QB at this level and the difference between him and Aguilar in this sense is night and day.

If you want my honest opinion, I dont think Nico even likes football that much. I think he's out there due to family pressure and he knows it gives him the best chance at an affluent life. He'd probably rather be playing volleyball.

the ruling applies only to 2025 season


The United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee granted Pavia a preliminary injunction, preventing the NCAA from enforcing the JUCO rule against him for the 2025 season and from applying its restitution rule to Vanderbilt or Pavia based on his participation. The NCAA appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

While the appeal was pending, the NCAA issued a waiver allowing all similarly situated athletes, including Pavia, to play in the 2025 season. The NCAA confirmed that this waiver would remain in effect regardless of the outcome of the appeal. The United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit determined that, because Pavia had already received the relief he sought at the preliminary injunction stage, the appeal was moot. The court held that it could not grant any further effectual relief and dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The court also declined to vacate the preliminary injunction, finding that the NCAA’s own actions had caused the case to become moot.

With all this QB portal talk. It makes me wonder if the bigger schools move their focus and money towards getting QB's through the portal rather than spending $1.5 mil on a freshman QB and using that money towards other positions of need or on positions that 5* freshman could potentially start day 1.
Kinda moving to the grab an experience ready to play QB rather than one you have to coach up and not know what you have.

This is my thought as well. We have been successful with older transfers, Kiffin seems to be making it his go-to strategy, and other big schools are starting to think the same way. The danger is that the more schools that go this route means more high level ($$$$) competition for the few transfer QB's that might truly be difference makers.

I believe that you still recruit the position hard, as that next kid could be the next generational player, and you evaluate after every season to maximize your options. With all the money pouring into the sport, there is no such thing as a "rebuilding" year any more, and some kids may take the hit for the "win now and always" philosophy the top schools will have moving forward.

Or you pay the freshman big $ for a couple years and they try to extort more $ while shopping themselves around? Betting on a HS 5* QB is a risky gamble.

Yeah. I can see why if you’re going to spend money for a QB you may as well pay for experience and get one that has 1 or 2 years left.
