‘23 CA QB Nicholaus Iamaleava (Tennessee)

[Ten_Titans]

Some of us are acting like if he commits today he can suit up and play PF for the basket Vols tomorrow.

Some morons never learn

This triggered mr PTSD

Just like Walter Nolan and Darnell Washington and many more. Always a few on here practically guaranteeing a player is committed before they do.
He may end up here and he may do like the others and disappoint the ones that “see the signs”.
I don’t count my chickens before they hatch!

I don’t remember ever thinking either one of those players were coming here…There are also several players that we have made the top 5 list for that we already knew where they were going before the official announcement …. This would be an absolute shocker if he doesn’t pick us.

To clarify APs comment a poster commented about the Sweet 16 starting next Thursday as a possible commitment timeline and AP replied with

Potato, potato

People comparing this to past recruitments have missed about 80% of what we're basing it off of. This isn't 1 CB and a few tweets and hope.

This is every single CB, every single tweet for weeks, 3rd visit upcoming, $8mm deal, L.A. lawyers confirming it, a Callahan lock, every other fanbase conceding the point (and not a one of their mods denying it), MetalVol, Bob, Ap, ...I'm running out of breath.

Some of y'all would need to see the morning sun peaking out to believe it would rise again that day.

 

[FranklinVol16]

Can't wait till Monday!

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Proof? No there isn’t any, because he hasn’t. thus we have a top 5. Giving the others a few weeks to make an offer he can’t refuse

Believe what you want.

You may not have but , just like now and every time we have a legit shot at a big time recruit,
There’s more than a few saying relax, he’s been ours for a while, it’s a done deal.
So say or believe what you want, I’ll wait until I hear it from the horse’s mouth before I count on it.

 

[GVol1966]

Believe what you want.

I believe what comes out of the actual player’s mouth, or posted by him.
Nothing more

 

[rocketskates]

I think he’s best suited for Tennessee or Oregon. He wants big eye popping numbers in a fast paced offense. Hopefully we land this kid.

Nobody knows what Oregon will look like. At this point it's empty words and dreams.

Yep, didn’t see anywhere where that you had to believe everything that’s posted as gospel in order to be a member

Nope. And there's nothing prohibiting you from tilting at windmills, either.

And Oregon will have that with Kirby-lite Dan Lanning?

Hardly any defensive HCs are able to let go of their offense. I'm very skeptical.

 

[dduncan4163]

Too much smoke for there not to be a fire. I believe he is All Vol Yall

 

[dduncan4163]

Wooo if we get this kid watch out. We will take off

 

[Devo182]

.5% maybe but he’s a “vol till he’s not “ to many on here, so unless he commits early this thread will surpass even the Grudens

Yep I don’t. But I’m not to confident that we’re topping any of the others offer’s based on current state of success

Always a few steps behind it seems...

 

[drvenner]

I sure hope these believers are right for once, because after being wrong on about the last 5 “gotta have, program changers “ I’m losing faith in them

You mentioned Washington and Nolen. I don't recall that many people here predicting either of them. Just enjoy the process.

 

[drvenner]

I am banking on him starting Game Two in Columbia this weekend.

Good for you

Yep and that’s fine. If you’re not behind on here , you’re believing in speculation and fantasy.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I have no idea what’s gonna happen but Nico committing would set off a nice blazing hot run for us. Probably with all positions but esp with 2023 WRs, RBs and OL. Would be a lot of fun!

Recruiting crutniks hv always said “follow the visits”. Nolan took “87.5” trips to A&M. Anyone with eyes knew he wasn’t coming here. Nico’s 3rd cross country trip to Knoxville is coming up soon.

Follow the visits ppl…oh, and what @Devo182 just said.
