‘23 CA QB Nicholaus Iamaleava (Tennessee)

[Cosmo Kramer]

Oh and the most impressive thing to me is he throws his WRs open. He can fit the ball into the tightest of spaces.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Bowser wishes he was as cool as me.

And you wish you were as talented as Boswer.

 

[tnvols72]

No

This aged well and and his like was from no other than the @Incredible_duck

 

[Jimmy Football]

Listening to Austin Price right now, and good Lord, I don't remember the last time it felt like this.

Nico will be a day 1 starter, you don't bring in a guy like this and leave him on the bench, unless you're Kirby Smart.

For the record, Peyton Manning was not a day one starter so anything is possible in football

 

[T Dog]

Just wait…….

Kirby and Fulmer are alot alike too, Heupel and Fulmer, less so.

Jalen Hurd

Not quite.. just because the positions they play.. close tho.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Funny, she waited until after he committed to make a comment. But I don't see where she expressed this opinion when the story first broke. Maybe she did and I missed it.

Her entire argument is that the contract is inducement, yet as has been discussed ad nauseam, it's specifically written to not be an inducement.

A later comment she says an AD told her "we can build an entire roster with $200k NIL deals" rather than give one kid $8M.

And to that I say - and you didn't get Nico.

Spyre be like

Not day 1 but did start as a freshman and he wasn't getting $2m per annum to play here.

You let them compete and go from there…unless you’re Mack Brown.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

He may or may not be the next great thing, but this commitment and the NIL the landed guarantees one thing…

We command attention from recruits

 

[butchna]

He's still taking his visits but I'm not worried at all. This kid is as committed and one can be. You can relax Hoss. He bleeds orange

He cancelled his UGA visit and Saban’s rant notifies us that he passed on Tuscaloosa also. He’s already visited Oregon and Miami. I think he’s done and will concentrate on peer recruiting.

Hell Yeah Hoss.

 

[dduncan4163]

Nico is all ours. Damn the biggest recruit commitment I've seen in 20 plus years.

 

[headhunter15]

Nico is all ours. Damn the biggest recruit commitment I've seen in 20 plus years.

And Josh Heupel got him to commit. Not Fulmer, Kiffin, Dooley, Jones, or Pruitt.

Believe recruiting will be just fine now. Heupel realizes that to compete, UT has to recruit like hell.

Is that a Gideon from the Gathering?

BOOM

I love Heupel but the lion's share of the credit for this one has got to go to Spyre and the Tennessee fanbase, who stepped up big time with $ 19.51. It wouldn't have worked if we looked like @$$ last year, but we just fired an 8 million dollar shot across everyone's bow thanks to boosters and fans and none of our rivals could do a damn thing about it.

Cliff notes version: He is a USC homer and ranks them:

Manning
Nico
Nelson
Moore

Is a good watch! Nico had the strongest arm, no doubt and was on point.

Heuped about the future!

 

[Type Orange+]

Early enrollee, signing in December per AP

 

[vollygirl]

Whelp. I hope the boys will forgive us because this is gonna be hard. There are extra vowels in there without a hard consonant and more vowels oh my! That's going to take my English speaking brain a while to grasp and I'm usually pretty good with languages. I have a feeling the best most of us are going to be able to muster is a much more Anglicized way of saying their names because the way they say it is a lot different than the way I've heard others say it.

I mean, we talk southern, and why use one syllable for a word when three will work. But this is a whole new ballgame. lol

 

[TheVolsFrog]

I am excited about this commit but I worry about where this NIL stuff is headed across college football. You can't provide top deals to all the top prospects. It will surprise some of you when guys start looking at who got what and it influences their decisions. On the surface a commit like this would've had us on the top of the board of the top WR, and it still may but if they expect deals in this ball park then possibly not.

Take advantage of any and everything while you can
It's only a matter of time before College football becomes an official semi proleague that has a college affiliation and these guys are paid from more than just NIL
GBO!

 

[TheVolsFrog]

He will if Oregon offers 10 mil

pfffft They had plenty time to make that offer. They didn't....
