As I read quotes from recruit after recruit, I hear them say NICO is in my ear all the time which led me to ask the question:
What is having the biggest effect on ’23 recruiting?
Is it last year’s offensive turnaround? The coaching staff? Spyre/NIL? Student Peer Recruiter Nico? UT & Knoxville?
I think the excitement around NICO is getting recruits interested, the coaching staff being genuine people that are building relationships with the players are reeling them toward Tennessee/Knoxville and then Spyre is landing the fish into the boat. I put it at something like 40% NICO, 30% coaching staff, 20% UT/Knoxville, 10% NIL opportunity.
I don’t believe it is just NIL as some have suggested.
