If we get Tate, Kasper, and Hyatt in this class to go along with Webb, Nimrod, Squirrel, and Miller, we could have a special wr room.

Pick up another back to compliment Williams, another top tier TE and things are gonna get real in a hurry.

We picked up some very good DL last class with West and Joseph's.

Pruitt may have been the "elite" recruiter, but IMO Heupel is making the most of his opportunity and resources at his disposal.

Think about it. We heard for months how TN was way behind in NIL. Even our trolls such as DE1 laughed at us.

I feel they went about this the right way. They built the foundation the right way. They took their time and made sure they were ready to back up their offers. They didn't just go throwing money around. They couldn't afford to with the Pruitt mess still so fresh in everyone's mind.

For the first time in a long time I feel we have some competent leaders who are committed to winning and actually know how to plan and execute that plan.

Things are looking up folks.

You forgot Pierce who's probably the best including those two.

Oh no you don’t get it. The one and ONLY reason any recruit likes a school now is because of money. Coaching staff doesn’t matter. University doesn’t matter. Nothing but money. That’s why TAMU signs every single top recruit in the country.

IMO, once the details come out there will be some indirect link between performance and pay. It won't be direct like a coach's incentives. It will be something more along the lines of the value of a kid's NIL to businesses.... which won't exist unless the kid becomes the starter and succeeds. Undoubtedly he will get some pretty good money regardless like the $300K he's supposedly getting now... but my guess is that his NIL will have to be worth something around $8 million for him to get $8 million.

Really wanna know what rivals had to say about this commit but not interested paying the $9.95, will just wait and see what he does on the field next year. Great pick up. So happy he choose to
Pull the trigger now instead of waiting till April. Peer recruiting about to take off. GBO🍊

Reading all these posts…
I thought i would share.
The NCAA will not be getting involved in any NIL deals between players, and any business…
This has been a point of discussion since last year with coaches, agents, and AD’s behind the scenes.
NCAA would get slaughtered in open court, and it would eventually be a death nail to them, and could lead into revenue sharing with players..
NCAA has no power to get personal NIL deals with a person and a business…
Most universities are sick of the legal fee’s that have been wasted in the past 10 years fighting against it as well.
Lets put it like this…
I could make an argument that Nico is worth 20 million a year easily if he makes the playoffs with this fanbase.
How can you prove he isn’t?
Gary Parrish has been talking about this openly for over a year now…
Tennessee needs to put more steam on, and get everyone it wants.

I am just laughing at all the grown men on social media complaining about how “NIL” is bad for the game now that you can legally buy a player.

Is it actually bad for the game? Let’s be real, if NIL didn’t come around he was probably going to Georgia or Alabama. You’re telling me it’s “good for the game” if he goes to the Tide or the Dawgs like every 5-Star recruit has the past decade?

Lmao. Yeah. Okay.

Bingo. Short of laws being passed, it's the wild west out there. And Tennesse has a friggin' cannon.
