Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[JCP201]

We had zero passing game. Nico was missing wide open receivers.

Spring game is going to be very interesting this year.

As far as Nico is concerned, CODE RED

Can’t rent a car

Dude can’t even serve as a US Senator. He’s just a kid.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

End any talks, roll with merk. I'm tired of 20 year olds making millions then making the university a laughing stock hours before what's supposed to be a celebration of the program in a spring game.

considering most senators are 95, yes.

 

[Smokey123]

My guess is his agent/handler was trying to get more money and Tennessee was like nah F that and leaked this to show the university doesn’t care if he leaves. Also explain reporters of Merk pushing for the job

As far as Nico is concerned, CODE RED

Code red usually means emergency

Wouldn’t call it an emergency, unless it’s urgent that Nico needs to zip Riley’s pants up.

I’ve almost completely lost interest in college sports at this point, which really sucks because I genuinely loved it but once starters on teams started leaving for other teams for more money, that was the beginning of my breaking point.

You’ve become as bad as Vol twitter. Nico has been an exemplary leader. We are not a better team without him. We literally have some players only on this team because they wanted to play with him. Quit the crying and he’ll raisin and let the situation play out.

We still don’t ACTUALLY know anything. This is all rumor mill. And that shouldn’t mean anything.

Nico is holding himself out from practice while in contact negations............... That has been reported by UT mouthpieces. That's known, not rumor. Maybe they work something out but I wouldn't bet money on it.

I agree about taking a step back without Nico, but our staff handled the position and future with the understanding Nico would be here leading this offense.

There may be people who wanted to play with Nico, and I expect some to leave.

Tennessee is in a lose lose situation. Pay him an amount he hasn't earned yet and everyone else lines up behind him doing the same. Don't pay him and let him walk, other likely leave too. At least you have money to get others to replace them.

 

[JacketVol]

We need a transfer to come in as a backup to Merk. Hope they’ve been working that

 

[85SugarVol]

We made the playoffs, but I didn't feel our quarterback play was particularly outstanding. It was more about our running backs.

We didn’t win any games because of Nico.
We won some games in spite of Nico.

 

[Rishvol]

I hate that we can't watch Merk take control of this team tomorrow

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I don't know what's gonna happen. I trust Heupel with whatever we've got though. He's the reason for our success

I wont fault Heupel one bit if they don't pay Nico and start Merk, then we have a mediocre year.

The problem is what it does to the future of other players and the program. It's obvious Nico isnt considering other's future well being. It's obvious it's all about him. Terrible look for a "leader".

GTFO imo.

All the things that made college football special are rapidly decaying. It’s getting to just not be any fun.

Lol that’s not the Code Red he’s referencing.

 

[SKV84]

Nico only had 9 TD passes all year against SEC competition.

 

[TrippieRedd]

At least we will finally have more money.

I’m gonna go ahead and blame our meh portal haul on these negotiations.

Biggest reason this is all but done, IMO. You can’t come back from this and be the leader of this club.

I understand leaving when you don't really feel you fit in (Tobe Awaka) or trying to get more playing time, but I hate when it's all about money. Like I said, I was a massive Braves fan until the strike and then I was done. I just never cared anymore.

QB play was def trash. No need to sugarcoat it lol

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Reading between the lines: he’s got another deal somewhere else and we didn’t counter how he wanted or we didn’t think it was a serious move. I’d say he’s either gone or he didn’t show to prove he means business. Either way, I say shut the door and move on. Not worth the fight.

It's OSU

Offensive line was doo doo. WRs were always injured. Heup and crew are as much to blame for that as Nico.
