‘23 CA QB Nicholaus Iamaleava (Tennessee)

Everyone saying this kid is the highest rated player that has committed in years--- What about Trey Smith, what was he ranked? I thought he was right up there as well...
I believe they've said highest rated QB.

Fwiw Smith ended up #14 composite. Mostly because jackass rivals had him a 4* 🤣🤣
 
According to 247...trey is 13th highest rated pyridoxine we've ever gotten.

Oregon can’t offer anything. However, do they have an organized, well funded NIL partner that is ready to compete with SEC schools? I didn’t think so.
Nike is pretty invested in OR. Don't know how it's panning out in the NIL space currently, but they certainly have access to a donor that has weight. Chip Kelly used it to his advantage when he was there...I could see them being a major player for west coast recruits if Nike flexes.

Nike won't invest in paying players directly when they sponsor most schools. Phil Knight only helps with facilities and funding at Oregon

Fair enough, but if they did decide to flex and create a consortium through influence, they could certainly rival SEC money. But to your point, would they feel like they are crossing a corporate vision line. I wouldn't if I were Knight, but I also wouldn't have made a bunch of decisions he's made in the past few years.
 
That doesn’t mean he’s free from bias. I don’t understand why you put so much weight on that article - or why you even care ab the contract.
Bias in our favor, if anything. Stewart has also recently said if he could be a part of any fanbase in the SEC, it would be Tennessee and the Vol Navy. Anywho, he has actually seen the contract, these chaps I have been talking to haven't seen anything, and are just talking out of their azz, which annoys me.

He will if Oregon offers 10 mil
1. Oregon can’t offer him money
2. Tennessee has 3 prominent billionaires compare to Oregon’s 1 heading their booster club. They wouldn’t win a bidding war.
3. I doubt Nike would get involved especially after Oregon got put under NCAA suspicion of impermissible inducement.

Yeah. What kind of dweeb school gets put under NCAA suspicion.
