Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I think it best, as a fanbase to wish the kid well.

3rd base is similar to QB right?

Chase Burns might be a better comparison.

For those curious, Joe Milton had 12 TDs against SEC competition the year before we finished with 1 less win.

I will predict that if Merk plays all season he will have more than Nico last year. Nico has talent but he is the most overhyped quarterback in Tennessee history. Hard to imagine he goes to a team with only fall camp and does great things. He was year two in Heupel’s offense and couldn’t run it.

It’s okay to be wrong about Nico. We were all wrong. We wanted him to be better than Hendon and it’s just not in him. Nico was great at flag football, but your actual abilities show when the bullets are flying. He just doesn’t have the ‘it’ factor like we all hoped for.

No one can be wrong or right on Nico yet. He played well for a freshman. Of course Nico wasn’t gonna be as good as senior Hendon Hooker. Good grief. I think all this drama stuff could really hamper him but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he is a heisman candidate wherever he plays. His potential is through the roof and I’m gonna pretend it isn’t just because he has morons around him or in his family. lol

I'm not gonna lie, I would take Nico back, but he'd be getting a pay cut, and be QB3 next year.

Make him earn his way onto the field

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Not a good look folks. Wish him well. Or not. But Judas is over the line.

Either with us or agin us. His choice.

No it is not...he betrayed everyone for money....sounds just like Judas to me.

Kilen DH tonight..

Still think Pope shouldve been fired.

 

[De La Cloobs]

Apparently there was a QB room meeting last night at Halzle's house and everybody was good to go. Come this morning... crickets

I'm wondering what team would take his asking price? Seems a little steep considering his average performance last year.

And Elarbee

This ‘Coach Landers’ that I’ve seen tweets posted concerning Nico over the years he’s been here; is that an uncle or other family member? Handler?

No he's a handler. Former Gator staffer.

Its going to end up a take what you can get situation for them I think.

They will be labeled extremely toxic after this

 

[DD4ME]

Because more sketchy sources have been right before. I'd put my money on UCLA.

 

[RikidyBones]

This visit had to be insane if it ended late today

My bad. Theyre getting some terrible advice then

 

[UTSuave’]

I’m pretty sure it’s a Mercedes G-Wagon.

Nice….but typical….let him walk we like speed around these parts not upscale door dashers

 

[Orangeredblooded]

IMO this is too far gone for him to stay. He’s lost the fanbase with this move and, per what some have reported on, the locker room as well, and even the staff is fed up with it. I don’t see how you save face here, because at this point the staff/university, if they cave, are saying one man is worth more than the rest of the roster.

With as much we seen by reporters, it’s a forgone conclusion. Be done with it all.

I agree. Bad look. You better be really really good to be a Diva in the NFL.

 

[DD4ME]

They have the least solid corp.
