To a large extent, I concede your thoughts, LittleVol. However, SEC football isn't high school football. Nico's long lanky frame needs only one good hit by an SEC interior lineman, or linebacker for something on his anatomy (or maybe psychology) to break. So I contend that he needs to redshirt and get some bulk. He'll still need a hefty OL to survive. And I dare declare, to the consternation of his haters, JoeMil is not going to let go of the QB position when Hooker leaves. He's going to prove his worth through his remaining two years. It won't surprise me if he drags us into a NCS slot, and kick Bama's rear end along the way. Then in the year 25, 25, Nico will come alive, come alive., and Vols continue to dominate, eliminate, and terminate whoever stands in their way. It's going to be a heil of a ride, in 25, 25.
That was then this is now. You bench this youngster his first year and he's in the transfer portal playing for somebody else next year. Too many players around the country even playing QB start as freshman. Bryce Young for instance, whose hs coached Nico as well. If you get him on campus and he's a bust that's a whole different issue.
That’s not totally accurate. Milton has one year, and there are a lot of freshman QBs around the country being brought on slowly. As much as he’s been on campus, I’m sure that coach is honest about it and he’s probably expecting not to be thrown to the wolves.That was then this is now.
