Per Locked on UCLA. Team Nico back shopping

[Nico ee-ah-MAH-LAY-ah-va]

Nico will get another chance somewhere. When you have a guy that’s 6-5 and fast, there is always going to be a coach that says “I can fix him”

yep but he may never live up to his potential. too many whispering in his ears

He would be a very square peg in a very round hole in Lubbock. I can’t see that working out well.

Where has it worked out well with Nico? Certainly didn’t in Knoxville or UCLA

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Watch him go to Miami and have a Cam Ward type season

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

He's kinda like Herpes, just will not go away.

Maybe he'll run for congress. There seems to be a lot of that there.

Nico=potential beach volleyball first-round selection.

 

[Dudleys87]

If a QB guru can only make him marginally better there isn’t much hope to set the world on fire somewhere else

 

[volbound1700]

His best bet is to go to a G5 team in a conference that doesn't play defense.

Not G5 but Miami and Texas Tech might play a lot of teams that qualify as "not playing defense" in their conferences.

 

[volbound1700]

Colorado would be my guess.

That sounds like a perfect fit for him

I cannot imagine that the kid has any value at this point.

Maybe he can switch to RB. He was their leading rusher in today's loss. Carried the ball 14 times...

Miami or TT aren’t going to take him imo. TT has a talented young QB already there. Miami can get better in the transfer portal. Nico will go where his daddy tells him to just like he always has; it likely will be a worse situation for him than UCLA is bc there he is the guaranteed starter.

 

[rocketskates]

Honestly, why would TTU or Miami want him?

They can buy whatever QB they want. Why pick one who is not very good.

They don’t want him. Thats his dad planting little rumors to writers to make it appear that Nico still has some stock value.

I suspect it's more than just pops starting rumors. When Joel Klatt accused Tennessee of an unfair PR campaign to make it seem Nico left because of NIL issues, my first thought was the Iamaleava camp was buying him to spin that narrative. Wouldn't be surprised as the transfer rumors start in earnest, other sports sites might also be paid to further pump up the perceived demand for Nico.
