Isn't the backup his brother Madden??

Face it man, the Iameleva family has finished off what little was left of UCLA football. At least in terms of being a serious team. They are kinda like a football version of the Harlem Globetrotters who usually lose now. Neuhesels floppy haired kid, the Iameleva brothers, who knows how many other godawful messes.

When Nico was hurt around game 10 and sat out, it was another kid playing backup QB, but can't remember his name, but he looked a lot smoother than Nico. Agree UCLA will probably be terrible again next year. I think the brother Madden may have transferred already.

At least per our friends at ESPN-the guy who started when Nico was hurt is named Luke Duncan.

I will fully admit that me viewing UCLA games this past fall was purely a hate watch. I was only watching to see Nico get embarrassed. If he wasn't playing-I had no interest in watching them lol.

Didn't UCLA have another QB who got arrested like halfway through the season? What a mess in Westwood.

Pretty sure Madden is still at UCLA. They made a deal with the devil err Big Nick so the Bruins will have an Iameleva under center most of the time for another 3-4 years probably.

Nico Iamaleava staying with UCLA, new coach Bob Chesney

Nico Iamaleava will remain with UCLA in 2026, with new coach Bob Chensey keeping the QB for his first season with the Bruins.

Dad announced he is staying at UCLA and opting not to turn pro. Probably wise decision all things considered.

He will be the Marcus Dupree of his generation…”The Best That Never Was”.

I hear ESPN is prepping for the 30/30 as we speak.

If you haven’t figured out that the NFL is fixed, then bless your heart!

With legalized sports gambling, every sport will be controlled by Vegas, if they always haven’t been.

I met a rugby buddy of mine’s dad one time who was a professional gambler. As we watched a NFL game, he basically narrated what was going to happen. After an interception and I guess based on the spread, he said, “There will be a fumble in three or four plays.” He called just about every turnover that game within two plays.

That’s pretty neat.

If you can figure out what Vegas stands to gain or lose, you can probably tag along with the house most of the time.

You misspelled XFL in your heading, OP 😏

Let’s be honest—the NFL Draft forwent Nico, not the other way around.

Lol Marcus Dupree was 10k times the player and athlete Nico is. Nico isn’t even that particularly good at any one thing. He doesn’t have an exceptional arm, isn’t a great decision maker, and isn’t that allusive

Nico, like Marcus, will never live up to the hype.

I think that Nico realized right now that if he entered the Draft this year, he would only wind up as a Practice Squad player somewhere holding a clipboard his entire career.

LOL Did anyone think Nico was going to the NFL after the season he had?
If he had stayed at TN and was able to put up numbers similar to Joey he would've been on some teams draft board
