Would Nico give up some NIL money for some protection?

[Vfl2407]

Pretty obvious we have to go heavily into the portal to get oline.
if Spyre doesn’t have enough to get some proven players, would Nico Take less to get players to protect him in 2024?

 

[bpalmer28]

Send him a DM and let us know what he says

 

[TNHopeful505]

Goodness. Just when I think we can't get any stupider on here...

 

[Voltopia]

What, it's not enough that NIL has to ruin college football, it has to ruin VolNation's conversations about college football TOO?!

 

[Vfl2407]

Send him a DM and let us know what he says

He might say that not getting his body torn apart would be worth it.

 

[madbamahater]

Wonder if Nico would transfer due to horrid offensive line play?

 

[Butch s]

I wonder if poor little Nico has figured out he is never going to get to play. We are probably never going to have the best Oline in the country and Sec defensive lines are always going to be good. So we should just give him 8 mil and let him save himself for the nfl. After all the chances of getting hurt are just too high, and apparently he’s has been playing 2 hand touch his whole life and has never been hit, or tackled by someone bigger than he is. We should ask the sec if he can just wear a green jersey, if and when we acquire the best line in the country, because after all he could still get hurtful

^^^^^^^ All of this ^^^^^^^

He can keep whatever NIL money he can't get and transfer to somewhere, even Bama or Georgia. He's got a lot of potential and may not like what he is seeing.

Guess what. Nico can't put himself in the lineup. It's not "Poor Nico" who isn't playing himself.

Going after a player who is not calling the shots for his own playing time is just dumb.

Not a knock on Nico. You have no reading comprehension. It is a knock on the people who say we can’t play him because there is a chance he will get hurt in the first 3 games or less because our Oline isn’t good enough. Wise up sir

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

3 games into the season and Nico is transferring.

Well done Vol Nation. Well done.

We can't. They are correct.

It was expected when he got here that he'd sit a year, pick up some size, get used to the difference between high school and college.

Tossing him to the SEC wolves at this point was NEVER the plan for Nico.

Heupal knew Milton was bad before the year started, but did not go get another QB in the portal. Some of this is on Heupal and I am a fan of him so don't try to make it out to be something it isn't.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

The NIL stuff is going to be interesting to watch how it affects locker room dynamics.

We aren't giving him $8 million. You aren't. I am not. The University is not.

Yeah there is a reason the FF has a reputation

My issue is calling out Nico. Nico can't go to Heupel and say "You're going to put me in."

That was never the plan. Nico was 6'5" and less than 200lbs when he arrived. Talented, for sure, but as my Dad would say, "That boy ain't that grown yet."

Does he have the skills? None of us know that. Heupel should.

Does he have the size? Not at 6'5" 195lbs UNLESS we have some solid protection for him. We don't.

Toss this at Heupel for misjudging Milton and we might agree, but Nico can't just magically become the size of Joe or even Hooker. He needs size and Heupel KNEW THAT TOO when he recruited him.

@Butch s
Are you trying to look silly showing freshmen QBs?

Check those teams and tell me most are not known for having rock solid and NFL quality offensive lines.

And learn how to use the software.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

I would have left off Tua as well. Too hard to spell out. Lmao
