Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Orange.]

Syracuse is apparently interested in Nico...my Lord ....imagine that game in ATL if he goes there.

The networks would prolly pay some of that NIL under the table.

We should offer him $1.2m,

Even more petty…. $1.2k

Just to rub salt on social media.

I maintain his best course of action would have been to go to UNC for a song. Their schedule is friendly and Bill still has connections and respect in the NFL. He could rehab Nico's image on and off the field, and restore Nico's (and family's) long term options and goals. However, his father will have to swallow his massive pride. If they can admit they lost this particular engagement, they can still restore an opportunity to succeed in the long run.

We agreed. My only debate with you is could they mutually agree to that and seems like the answer was no initially.

Never have I seen a more stronger representation of Icarus in college football than Nico. He thought he was Cam Newton and he's being priced like a Fig Newton.

Our defense will tear him apart

his dad now has it in his head that he will be "good businessman" if they get a dollar over 2.4M and "bad businessman" if anything under

he is so shortsighted it's insane

Nico might end up okay, but I might be enjoying this way too much.

Not nearly as much as ON3...

Greedy people that just chase money tend to spend everything as quickly as it comes in. It’s not out of the question that they have spent the money and owe enormous amounts in taxes. Happens all the time with people that have no idea how to manage new found wealth. No idea what is reality but they could be in position they need every dime they can get. Taxes alone on what he made last year would be north of $700k. You hear stories like this about athletes every year. Hopefully that’s not their situation but who knows.

He's going to live with scars from this one for life. He needs a pr team at this point. Do a sympathetic interview. It's in our best interest he land somewhere and this gets buried.

I think it's in our best interest that no one directly involved say anything. I would imagine that point has been established. A new "shiny object" for the sports media will come along soon enough.

 

[DD4ME]

Do we think this is strictly his play or do we also think this is boosters and GM's banding together to retake some leverage. I think both, but thought at least one team would buck the trend.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Lol

i won't spend $.01 on printed #8 **** tickets

 

[DD4ME]

While we are on the topic of over reaching father's.

If he was worth the money someone would pay.

No lie, I read an article today suggesting Syracuse. Not gonna happen, but could you imagine if it did. Would make next seasons game so much mor interesting.

Could you imagine how hard that game would be for nico against the Tennessee defense. Not wearing a no contact jersey. I would bet that his slim frame would be broken or on the bench before halftime. Garners’ DL would eat him alive. There would be way more than 1 pick six as well.

 

[DD4ME]

Nico might really end up at Tulane for 1.5 mil.

When your lowest low gets revised lower.
