Nico leaving?? [NOPE]

[Vol4LIFE85]

I'm thinking he's referring to the recievers all transferring too. I think Nico is all Vol and has been for some time.

 

[Orangeburst]

I always look to some dude named miamicanes1971 for Tennessee transfer info.

I get my trusty info from MiamiCanes1986SugarBowlChamps. 1971 not so much

All you cats downing Nico need to ask yourselves how many freshman QBs have had seasons like he did. Not just at TN….. anywhere …. Then ask yourselves which of the Vols receivers will be drafted….. then ask yourselves how many Olinemen will be…… then STFU

We're almost always on the same page, so maybe I'm wrong, but do you see today's Nico getting drafted? Hooker was 50x better and has a lot of bench time.

 

[StuckInBamaVol]

I just think it referred to who is he going to throw to. But then again, may just transfer

Brother Vol….. he’ll be a sophomore next year. He has time to progress and develop.
He’s only started 14 games as a Vol.

1. Many
2. 3
3. 2
4. No (I’m not downing Nico, but believe in free speech and realizing this is a message board, no one needs to STFU……..

"Super-sophomore". Remind me how many Tee Martin started?

 

[volstudent26]

This guy is a **** poster who has no connection to Tennessee. His timeline is football **** posting and sex jokes. He’s been posting randomly about how funny it would be if Nico transfers for months and months.

 

[loservol]

Paying players with cash in McDonald’s and chick fil a bags. The way it was intended.

Okay, that's funny.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Look at Tee’s first year numbers and compare them to Nico….. then look at the Oline the Vols had….. then look at the receivers….. then look at the RBs…. Tee had one hell of a supporting cast

You're not exactly wrong.

I could be, but I believe Nico was overhyped and everyone’s expectations were overblown.
I think time will prove him to be a very good QB.
He needs some true weapons at receiver

Agreed. But, I think we need GREAT, not "Very good".

 

[Carl Pickens]

Agreed. But, I think we need GREAT, not "Very good".

Which previous Qbs do you consider “great” and which “good”?

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Nico is being paid a lot to play here I highly doubt he leaves

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

I'm thinking he's being funny, pointing out he's going to have no one to throw to.

This is what I think as well, but it’s an awkward and confusing message. I get that they’re college kids, but there’s now a huge business variable to consider from a poster standpoint. When you’re posting about the team by which you’re essentially employed as a high profile/high visibility athlete, you need to be cognizant of the downstream impact and someone (NIL agent, staffer, et cetera) needs to monitor/control this aspect of their social media footprint.

It’s possible but he had to be vague for the attention ho in him. Of course he could be hinting at leaving in which case

 

[bpalmer28]

Some of you guys really need to just put your phones down and go to bed. There’s nothing to see here. Nico is either making light of the fact that his WRs were never open or he’s not sure who he will be throwing to next Fall. Both are true and neither is a cause for concern because our WRs have sucked.

 

[DaddyChad]

Sources inside program?

Dude made a social media post joking about all his receivers being gone.

 

[Golfprovol]

Guys thanks for posting the images. I have ZERO social media, in fact this is as close to social media as I get.

If he wants to leave, then he needs to leave. We have replacements and recruits coming. His production wasn't massive or anything.

His family also like it here. Madden is at Arkansas next year. Unless something really went wrong bad since the Vandy game I think we’re good here.

I have no idea why you’re so anti Nico. He had little time to throw this year and when he did have time he tended to throw darts. He got better as the year went on. I’m pretty happy with how he played for his first year starting. I guess you’d like another first year starter for us next year.

 

[TheVolunteer002]

I read it more as I "who am I going to throw to" with so many TEs and WRs entering the portal. Could be wrong.

 

[maryvillenative]

It's been so long I probably can't remember. I'm going to get torched, but Peyton was just "really good" during his time at UT. He couldn't win big games. I think Hooker was our closest to "great" in a long time, his injury coupled with Beamer colluding with C. Stallions robbed him of solidifying his greatness.

Could be leveraging for more money? Might be a bidding war with another big money school out west?
