Is it wrong for us to wait until the last moment to poach another team's QB?

Just wondering. I know we were left out to dry in an unfortunate situation for ourselves. But if we wait until the last moment to poach another team's QB, than that team won't have any time left in the transfer window to convince another's team's QB to enter the transfer portal.

This whole situation is about to turn into a gane of hot potato with a ticking time bomb. One team is going to be left with having their QB taken at the last moment with no viable option to replace them.

It’s wrong to poach one, I think Nico might have been poached looks bad if we do the same

I dislike it as much as everyone else. But under these rules, that is how you have to roll. And if we don’t play by the current rules? We will get buried.

Damn straight we take a top-shelf QB if we can get one.

I think you put as much muscle on Gmac as you can can and then play 2 QB system with Merklinger and roll the dice.

Use those TEs and RBs and rely on that defense.

The player decided to hit the transfer portal not the other way around.

Wrong or not, Heupel’s job is to put a winning team on the field. Not fair to the fans or the team to not try to get someone. A bad season gets him far more issues than getting someone else’s qb.

Only Alabama and a few others will accuse the Vols and Heupel of poaching and how wrong it is, if they do. Anything Alabama is against, we should be for. Anything Alabama is for, we should be against. Who cares what they think? Of course, they and Saban are pretending to be on Tennessee's side over the Nico thing. Don't believe them, they are only doing so because they know it hurts Tennessee. They will be using the Nico situation negatively in recruiting against Tennessee while at the same time publicly acting like they support Heupel.

If they or anyone have a chance to bring in a top QB at any time, they'd do it (and they should), but if the Vols do it there will be a full court press on how wrong and unethical the move would be from Heupel. They're good with pretending to support Heupel as long as it gives them the advantage. Just like when Saban thought Jones, Dooley and Cornbread were perfect coaches for Tennessee. Of course he did, because he beat the **** out of them. Again, whatever they say/think just do opposite.

Nico was poached by taking about 1 million less dollars to go play for a worse program with no playmakers that finished with the 118th ranked offense?

Come on now. You can't actually believe that.

Assuming the QBs we are talking to didn't contact us first, there is nothing wrong with our NIL collective checking the market and see who might have interest in coming here.

The irony of all of this is everyone is mad at Nico for leaving our program to try and get more money. Yet that's exactly what we're wanting another QB to do to their current team to come play for us. To quote Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part 2, "we're both part of the same hypocrisy".

Yeah, if you have no use for nuance and circumstances

I hate the whole new system in general.
Go back to when we didn't have to worry about a player who didn't even throw 3,000 yards holding out for 8 million dollars.

And I a hundred percent agree, but this NIL **** is getting out of hand.

Well, Nico was definitely not poached since it was probably his father reaching out to other programs.

I would say he was scrambled but we have all seen Nico in the pocket.

I think the best description of this situation is that Nico was deviled.
