‘23 CA QB Nicholaus Iamaleava (Tennessee)

Fascinating some of you expect kids to weigh around 200-250 pounds in high school.

That’s why there’s such thing as college weight programs.

All these keyboard coaches who couldn’t pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel. It’s the Volnation way.

His pajamas and long sleeves hide a little. He's a bit more muscular than I thought. I figured he'd have chicken legs. Still has a lot to gain, but it's not something that should take a long time, being a HS Jr.

His frame reminds me a little of Marcus Mariota.

 

[Buzzbait]

What if he grows to 6'7. Should he be 250lbs.

Edge

Hey, who are you calling keyboard coach?

You’ve been waiting to use that one.

Why the hell would there be piss in my boot?

 

[Falcons02]

Exactly especially if he’s going to be a EE

I read this as TE heh

 

[VolFaninFla]

Why the hell would there be piss in my boot?

Especially a boot with piss disposal instructions on the heel

 

[T Dog]

Especially a boot with piss disposal instructions on the heel

Its a Russian boot.

It will be interesting to see how this class shakes out now that Saban and others have gotten the NCAA to directly target collectives. The Supreme Court took NIL out of the hands of the NCAA and didn't set any real clear guidelines, but now the NCAA has defined all collectives as "boosters". Under their new guidelines, they can rule retroactively that any NIL deals through a collective for current or prospective athletes as a violation.

You telling me my 125lb son will be ok then?

Yes

He doesn’t want programs that have money to throw around taking the talent he wants. That’s basically what he’s pissed about. He wanted NICO baaaad.

Not gonna work. The NCAA will be looking at massive lawsuits that they will lose. Especially if they think they can get away with this “retroactive” crap.

Yep. AP said Saban considered Nico the best QB in this class.

Yep. AP said Saban considered Nico the best QB in this class.

Yep, and even then, Heupel and Hazzle had the best relationship with Nico.

It doesn't have to actually happen for it to screw up recruiting. It just has to be implied that it will happen. Since we have the top collective in college football, I expect it to be us that's targeted (even though we've followed all the existing guidelines). I hope I'm wrong.

 

[ChrisVFL]

So with the NCAA new NIL rules , does that impact Nico now or was his deal a done deal? Not really sure how this all plays out. Like does he keep his deal or what happens now? This should impact his commitment to us should it?

Are we sure he got a deal?

 

[ChrisVFL]

Are we sure he got a deal?

Let’s say hypothetically.

What new rules? You mean that boosters can’t directly facilitate? That’s always been a rule.

 

[bigl3327]

Never confirmed. It was a rumor started by a lawyer in Cali and no one was ever named specifically. The rumor has been taken as fact, and the unnamed athlete was assumed to be Nico. It also has never been denied.

So is Sprye one of those boosters for the University? Just learning , that’s all.

The new rule defines collectives as boosters.

I would say he did get a deal.

Well the ncaa just effectively committed suicide.
