Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[DD4ME]

I dont know.

But I know our fanbase is about to make things 8000000000% times worse though.

It worked with Schiano and IMO this fan base did nothing to bring this out. How some react is on those that did knowing what VN is.

Swain as well

I saw five in-person games last season and thought Nico performed at about an average level for an SEC QB. He made some good throws and he made some bad throws, which is normal for his age and experience. I expect he made some good progress in the off-season, but, as the team leader, he cannot let agents or his parents cause disruptions. If UT has reached their limit with these antics, then cut him loose and prepare the next man. Catering to multiple renegotiations is not a good longterm plan for the school, but it is worse when the coaching staff gets blindsided by the player not reporting to practice.

Hubbs saying it's probably too far gone now

Jesus what a cluster. Not from UT’s side either.

 

[TrippieRedd]

he just fell backwards into millions of dollars

our fans will line up to buy all of his merch just to prove a point

if he comes out throwing 3+ TD the first few games, he will be treated like the people's champ

Gives me Howard mixed with that Clemson QB vibes

That’s always been my opinion of Merk. I think he could actually be damn good. I know he played VERYYYYYYY minimum but he looked a lot more comfortable then Nico did

 

[BigSteve09]

woaaahhhh

Bass is back???

 

[Adam Sandler]

Everyone needs to calm down. This is gonna be an everyday thing until some type of guardrails are put on NIL and transfer portal. For all we know this could be nothing and a rumor started by another program. We literally know NOTHING. And I’m sorry but this Tennessee administration has been pretty closed lipped when they want to be. So I don’t care if Chris low who barely reports anymore says something. Nico’s crowd saying nothing going on. UT not saying anything going on. As far as I’m concerned, business as usual.

Our fanbase needs to check themselves before we create a shitshow out of NOTHING. This is the world we live in buttercups. Get it together and stop trashing our QB and our program. We got ass to kick in 4 months. That’s all that matters.

Wow this is crazy. Have a feeling Nico’s career is going to go in a downward spiral from all of this if true.

now that it went this direction, Nico's dad is going to try to slander the program, coaches, fans on the way out, and our 247/on3 guys will directly or indirectly (via national writers) release the ugly behind-the-scenes stuff

his dad really doesn't get it

 

[MarcoVol]

Swain as well

What are they saying this stuff on I’m trying to tune in

 

[LotteryPick]

I hope Merk is just sitting back smiling at all this.

That kid looks like a face of a program.

Based on what? I think he can be a good QB here but that’s purely hope on my part as he didn’t show that last year

Will Levis is on an NFL roster.....

Will Levis is a 6’5” 240 prototype.

Of course NFL teams thought they could leverage that.

 

[85SugarVol]

Lolz this brought @Bassmaster_Vol in

What up Bass!

 

[butchna]

Since you mentioned WR Double Oak, try and find yourself a Peerless Double Oak or a Cedar Ridge Double Barrel. Little higher proof (105-109), but PACKED with flavor.

Thanks!

It could turn out good for both parties.

Maybe we need a new QB. Maybe he thrives in a new system.

 

[lilesrt]

Of course they want more money now.

They too realize at this point that Nico likely doesn’t cash in at the NFL level. So they have to maximize his earnings now.

“Weren’t going to blink”.. someone care to interpret that?

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

Whatever, some other team can enjoy going into the half scoreless while having a 4 time record breaking RB and a coach who ran the number one offense with 60 scholarship players 2 years before

 

[85SugarVol]

It could turn out good for both parties.

Maybe we need a new QB. Maybe he thrives in a new system.

I hope it works out for us. I’ll be good with that

 

[Midas]

This is going to kill his reputation with NFL scouts and all the good teams don’t need qb’s right now. He’d probably be going to UCLA or USC which are dumpster fires right now.

Not many good teams gonna pay what they want

This is multimillion dollar program vs 7th best SEC QB dad negotiations. I like our odds.

 

[TrippieRedd]

In his very minimal playing, very very minimal he looked a lot more composed than Nico did on the field.

I don’t care about 1st, 2nd, string etc. he looked a lot more comfortable out on the field.

Anyone can argue with me, that’s fine. You can go in the portal thread 2-3 months ago and read my Harry Potter novel on why I think Nico is big meh

IMO UCLA cause USC just signed a dude right?
