They have hired an agent now. I don’t think it’s going as smoothly at camp Nico as they thought it would. Teams are actually talking to each other so they have no leverage.

Nico being shopped by handlers/parents for that price tag while enrolled put the coaches over the edge. He’s toxic with media backlash to the team he goes too if it’s P4.

I will not be surprised if he gets totally blackballed. If I were the head ball coach at Booster U, I’d think long and hard about the blowback from the 100,000 die hards packing my stadium on Saturdays…. I sure wouldn’t want to enter into a fan revolt situation like we had when trying to hire the coach from Rutgers….
And I wouldn’t want to look desperate enough to have a perceived “hired gun cancerous transfer” in my locker room - fast track toward getting fired.

Will West was on the radio yesterday crying over this situation. He said if it was UT, then it was a classless move and that you don't leak behind closed doors convos on contracting (and tried to compare it to his own contracting experience).

Regardless of who did it, UT is clearly winning the court of public opinion on this. When you have Saban coming out and saying "go vols" in response, you know you dun f'd up.

The only classless behavior on display is on the part of team Nico. UT did nothing wrong....nothing.

Nah. That's not the culture that is NCAA football. Someone will pay him. Won't be 4m, but he'll have some choices.

Did they hire an agent or are the talking about Landers? Either way this whole thing is blowing up in their face. An agent is going to take 15-25% of total deal so IF(and i doubt they get anywhere near 4) they get 4 mil, they get 3, so best case scenario they are down to $600,000 increase and that is if they don't land in a state with income tax. Chances are they are going to lose a good chunk of money when it's all said and done. It's like a real estate agent once told me...sometimes you just gotta let the market educate them.

Just heard they had changed representation to an actual agent. Believe it was also talked about in passing by Josh Pate on an interview saying he was getting some better advice now but the damage was kind of done.

The latest intel from Nakos claims multiple teams are ready to jump in the market for him if his asking price drops to around $1 million. Absolutely hate to see it. 😂

The part I am having a hard time understanding is who leaked it to Pete from on3.

Obviously Big Nick was upset and lied about any negotiation going on. It also doesn’t make sense from Tennessee camp to leak it.


So who dun it?

It was probably someone who told the Volquest guys, who then didn’t want the heat of reporting a negative story, so they gave it to one of their national guys

On that last part-I would double check that.

I saw the pos


The account is not associated with Nick Saban.

I don't have a subscription to access the article. It was linked to an X post stating multiple teams are interested in Nico but only if his asking price drops to about 1 million. I didn't see any specific teams named. They may be in the article, though.

Afterward, I saw the X post in another thread. I don't recall it mentioning any teams.

Apparently WW is fine with players and parents trying to strong arm and bend UT over. Plowman, D White and Heupel were made to handle this stuff. WW can go sit in the corner.

On3 has a fairly close relationship with VolQuest. It could have been Austin Price or Hubbs. But either way, Heupel and Danny White lilely gave permission to leak it. On3 certainly doesn't want to leak something sensitive like that and jeopardize the relationship they have with Volquest and the access they have to the Tennessee program.
