Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Dooby15]

Nico lost this nationally. It's over.

Good.

 

[UTSuave’]

I'm not sure how well Nico was liked anyway.

Tough

 

[Dooby15]

If this Nico business is indicative of where college football is headed, I may be out

Sticking by it for a bit longer, but am definitely in a wait and see mode.

It will be until they bind the players with contracts and buyouts.

 

[drvenner]

Would make sense for him and maybe a better fit with Lincoln Riley

None of this makes sense at all

 

[vol4eva]

We badly need Faizon to be that dude, because the BVS is almost back in force.

Polynesian culture is always money driven man. Take a look at a plethora of recruitments. Henry T as an example.

Correct--- how soon folks forget Saban literally moved Tua's entire 20 member family from the island to freaking T-town or Birmingham and into a giant house... they miraculously all quit their jobs and found great jobs there... The giant house where he watched the draft and they had the camera set up, folks thought that was a donor's house... no, it was their house...

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

That's about your third shot at UT fans... not sure that's where the blame lies right now.

This was early in the day before everything was definitive.

Bye Nico!

 

[drvenner]

Lower Alabama?

University of Columbus Longside the Airport

SMH. After a playoff run? Calm down.

 

[Playdo]

Just doing some research

 

[Brillovol]

Merk is a better runner. QB1. Can’t wait.

He decomitted

 

[drvenner]

If this crap is true, I'm done. BYE!!! So, how good we going to be without Nico?

We'll be fine.

 

[UTK]

He did get some dirt hurled at him unfairly

Pete does report a bunch of silly nonsense to be fair lol

 

[PowerT.]

He decomitted

No he didn’t

I’m just saying him and his family have always talked about being a close family…seeing his family at the games nothing screamed money is what I’m saying..

 

[DD4ME]

I consider myself a positive and encouraging fan. I don’t turn on players who put their all on the line for the university we love.


That said, I’m done with Nico. It’s a cancer at this point and we’re better with the cancer removed.

Facts jack

 

[headhunter15]

JD Pickell mentioned UCLA as a team to watch. Damnit.

 

[DD4ME]

Required listening for all recruits

 

[RikidyBones]

They all do that. It's wild.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I guarantee you Dad went shopping him around at the end of the season when he saw that we weren't going to fill the WR room back up with elite talent. (bit of egg on Heup and Danny's face here for taking such a big gamble and everyone questioning why we didn't spend the money needed to reload the WR room) Bet this has more to do with it than anything... He got some offers, more than what Nico was getting now, came back wanting TN to counter (win/win situation- he stays and the team struggles with no offense but gets paid more, or he leaves for a fresh chance and gets paid more) and Danny/Heup said they weren't going to counter... Bye.

I bet he doesn't end up getting what he's making here. Just a guess.

 

[The Dog]

He decomitted

When ? I have NOT seen that, any where.

 

[Type Orange+]

My only concern with Nico leaving is the ripple effect…who follows?…Mike Matthews?..I’d imagine our WR being crippled

Mike Matthew's possible portal entry last winter was said to have been due to his concern that Nico had already decided to leave.
After this stunt, I tend to think our current roster may not hold him in such high regard at this point.
I could be wrong, though.

 

[DD4ME]

Its a learning lesson for this staff. They have to be more assertive, and go after bigger fish more aggressively.

Its simple mathematics. Very few programs would be willing to throw out that kinda coin for a $1-2 million dollar QB.

Yeah sometimes we make it too complicated. Imagine who you could poach for 4 mil.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Dang, was he a locker room cancer?

I wouldn't describe it like that. More of an oil/water type thing.
