Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[De La Cloobs]

I been refreshing all day waiting for some QB addition only to further discover just how inept and stupid Nico's dad is. Dude deserves all the verbal abuse thrown his way.

 

[Orange.]

I hope this "Tennessee's offense" lights an absolute fire under our offensive players and coaches. Every single one of them. And pisses off our defense, too.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Lol wonder how many fans will side with Nico on the rumored assistant.

Who is the assistant?

is that why he went on a nation wide tour trying to find another team for this son? found 1, one desperate enough.

even tulane said no give me a break

 

[Revived2002]

Did UCLA pay the $4m?

 

[BigSteve09]

VQ alluding to anything useful?

very very quiet on there

Hubbs maintains that many QBs will use us for a raise and we will end up getting a depth guy most likely.

hasn't been too confident in a splash hire. we had reached out to kick the tires on a few guys but it didn't really go anywhere for anyone that would be considered a big get.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Again - the thrill is gone.

Me and my wife went to the opening game against UTC last season and I saw Nico hit every reciever in the hands throughout that game. He followed that up with ok/good games against NC State and Kent State. Then we went to Oklahoma. He started off alright but he got blasted (in the 2nd quarter, IIRC) on his blindside and never played confident the rest of the season. He couldn't wait to run out of the pocket. I don't think he trusted Heard or any of the other offensive linemen after that. I don't know if he was scared, but he heard footsteps the rest of the season. Even at the end of the season, when Lance was healthy and the o-line were blocking better and Nico had time, he was still taking off after the 1st read. I think it was in his head that he was going to get hurt again, if he stayed in the pocket. (I know tOSU broke his helmet, twice, but that was when Nico was scrambling. I don't think the offense liked each other by the end of the season and it showed on the field)

lol taking a pay cut to got to UCLA. Dumbass Nic, karma is real. Hate that you’re costing your son $$$ and a legit chance to develop into an NFL Qb. Hope he grows up after all this and tells you to kick rocks ya bum

So he's really making somewhere around $400-600K to the house yearly.

Fair assessment

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Be funny if we got Carson Beck.

*I'd rather have Carson Daly

 

[Orange.]

Big Nic and his tag along son picking UCLA is proof that their talk about the offense and the supporting players were obvious lies, for the few (if there are any) who didn't already see through it. It was a greedy, inept, hostile money play.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

man..our receivers have 2-3 steps on all those throws..

That’s because he spent his Summer in California. If he had worked on timing with his receivers, none of that would have happened.
Really pisses me off.

 

[Type Orange+]

If it isn't about the money, then play for your scholarship and free education without the benefit of NIL $

 

[DD4ME]

If you bring in the taco twins I won't be happy unless we warm them up with Gas.

Who is the assistant?

First I heard of an assistant coach...any idea who that could have been?

 

[UTK]

The main negotiations in December were actually about offense. It’s true but if TN didn’t do anything to make you feel better about it, then why the hell did you stay for Spring. I think it was just a horrible misplay by Nico’s camp. If he’d had left in December there would be more interest and he’d probably actually of landed in a good spot. But what I think happened is Nico actually wanted to be here, but his dad mostly freaked out that Nico didn’t put up heisman numbers as a freshman (lmao) so the December negations happen, dad says all is good knowing he’s gonna pull this spring “hostage” leverage play anways to at least try and get more money out of UT. Tennessee finds out and is rightfully pissed, leaks it and it blows up in Nics face. Now they’re just trying to claim it wasn’t about money because they know they’re gonna take a pay cut and there is a small ounce of truth in it. But now the problem is you’ve landed your son at a place where he truly isn’t going to have any help on offense and he is taking a pay cut. Womp womp.

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

sheesh, Kiffin has been killing it in the transfer portal.

Yup. And yet he's still going to lose every big game as well as one absolute head scratcher. Water continues to be wet

 

[Orange_Crush]

I hate the pistol.

Timeline:

*family spurns UCLA*

*family selects Arky*

*family spurns TN*

“It was about the offense”

*family selects UCLA*

Sure, Jan

I agree with their camp that the Receivers were ass and the Line at times was pathetic. Certainly true, many pages of evidence on this board to support those two assessments. He hasn’t warranted 4 million a year though and that’s what they were pushing for

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Slaughter leaving is fine. He wasn’t going to play here
