Recruiting Football Talk VIII

If it came out this was all papa Nics doing, that Nico never threatened to sit out, and he fired his dad and agents, made a private and public apology to his teammates/coaches/administration/boosters/fans, was willing to play for the same amount of money he was already being paid or less, signed an nda in relation to any internal contract/compensation/leadership conversations he had previously while here, promised his teammates to put them first, and gave up social media for the remainder of his time here, would you allow the team to vote on taking him back?
He would have a difficult time getting back in touch as every option he has is on ignore or blocked. Even snail mail. If he showed up in person, security would notify him that he is persona non grata.
I don’t think that a team vote would be favorable for him.

I would offer a dollar per practice. Starting on the practice squad with a full contact jersey. If he survived up to game day then I would pay him $5 per game. $10 if he actually plays.

So that’s the long answer.

The concise answer is Hell No!
 
So now 'big boy' serving knuckle sandwiches also serves 11 months, 29 days. Loses ability to vote, own a handgun, and likely his job. In addition, likely pays shirtless court costs, and medial bills. But hey, hope it was worth it.

Edit: It's Canada. Nm.
Figured you'd be cool with a couple of those things, 😂
 
So that's going to rely more on officials recognizing real injuries on the field before spotting the ball and for Kiffin to have his guys fake injuries quicker once a play is over...maybe even having them fake the injury before the play is over.
I won't be surprised if injuries will start being part of the play design.

If anything, it’ll minimize the cartoon examples. Like when a player is standing with no difficulty and responds to a coach or teammate pointing to the ground and goes all DiCaprio.

I’d offer him the 4 mil, minus a hundred k for every missed pass.

Ya I'd like to see how many fake injuries happened after the ball was spotted.

For what it's worth, it feels like the tone on the VQ podcast has changed as far as the kind of QB we're going to bring in from the portal. Tuesday they were very much in the "getting a depth guy" camp, but now they're talking like we're going after a real guy. No names or anything, just interesting how that has changed since the portal opened, and lines up with what @Mrpeabody8888 was saying about how Tennessee is being very careful about not giving off the appearance of tampering. It would just make sense that the VQ guys would be in the dark until after the portal opened for that reason.

Anyway, Big Fish confirmed, 16-0 incoming obviously, Go Vols.
