Nico questions

Tennessee isn’t paying him a dime. A non university supported company is responsible for any NIL deals.

Ideally Milton starts and makes his money next year with Jackson as his backup and Nico redshirts. The next year the battle between Jackson and Nico will set the pecking order. Ideally Jackson wins it and Nico gets limited playing time and starts his last 2 years.

That’s the way it should be. Relying on underclassmen in key roles is not ideal. Let them get a couple years of practice and ease them into the starting spot.

Ideally Nico comes in and is so good it’s impossible to keep him off the field

So how is all of the nil
Structured does he get a guaranteed 8 million or just the 2 million per year he is here? What made tn think he was worth 8 mil as the #6 pocket passer vs going after the other top 5? Does tn owe him the 8 million if he never sees the field for tn. Milton looks great so that’s 2 million to sit the first year likely.

That's 1 recruiting service, and ESPN's service is notoriously bad. Nico is the 2nd or 3rd ranked QB according to every other service (and if his last name was Manning like Arch, he'd probably be ranked #1), and he'd be higher on the 247 composite were it not for the ESPN ranking outlier.

So we get all the rookie mistakes right away and lose the momentum created so far…
and Jackson transfers. So in 2024 the program doesn’t have a QB room

His team does suck, however he has out performed the other qbs in his class at every event this summer not named Manning. However Manning hasn't attended any camp at all. Manning has never won a playoff game in a crap division of gootball either, so there is that and he has a perfect 1.000 grade because of his name alone
Yes his team is terrible. Watched a video of him and he was throwing bullets but no one could catch them lol. His arm looks great though! Was one of the sloppiest high school games I’ve seen

That’s my point I don’t see any young players sitting for 2 years before they get to play at this point with the transfer portal

They do it, just not at Tennessee. Mostly because all the Vols could sell was playing time. Between NIL, NFL, and winning that can change.
