'25 OG USC transfer Emmanuel Pregnon (Oregon)

[orange parmejohn]

So Pete Nakos says Oregon is the leader when he visits Oregon. Now Pete Nakos says Tennessee and Oregon both lead, since those are the two he's visited.

That Pete Nakos is on top of it!

He is probably accurate.

He can chill with Torrance Gibson.

Depends on his cost vs evaluation ratio. Can’t overpay if it tilts the room. Don’t need to bring in a good rental if it costs you several developmental guys in the spring when they do their own NIL analysis. Lot’s of moving parts in this new roster management world. CJH needs to make the calls, not click jockeys, unless they step up to fund the net results.

Click jockeys make the calls on VN.

 

[volKano]

I don’t think we will get him if it’s a money issue. The coaches have to show him his future if he becomes a vol.

 

[iuvol]

Has he visited UT yet?

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

Has he visited UT yet?

Yes, per Hubbs, he is on campus now. Arrived last night and is supposed to leave tomorrow. Evidently he is talking to players, coaches, Spyre, etc. Guess we will see what happens. Pete Nakos has TN and Oregon as his top 2, fwiw.

@dascoop @KingVFL any buzz ~24 hours in?

 

[RockyTop411]

Apparently the visit went well, he wants to play in the SEC, and he’s leaving Knoxville to go to Texas tomorrow and meet with Texas’ staff Saturday

VQ implied could be a TN/TX battle if conference ends up being that important to him

 

[TrippieRedd]

Yup.

It won’t be a “battle”…Texas gonna do the same thing LSU did and just blow us out of the water NIL wise

 

[Adam Sandler]

Yup.

Probably a quicker/easier path to the field here…

Though I guess if you’re getting the type of money he will be, you’re not going anywhere not to start.

USC transfer guard Emmanuel Pregnon was on campus on Thursday and will leave Friday morning. He is fresh off his Oregon visit and now will head to Texas to visit the Longhorns. Tennessee is in play here and from our talks, they have impressed the Trojan transfer. As of Thursday night there is a strong notion that he would like to play in the SEC and if that is the case, then this lines up to be a Texas and Tennessee battle. He will head to Austin and arrive while they are in Dallas for the Cotton Bowl tomorrow night and then meet with the staff there on Saturday.

Don’t like him leaving to visit Texas. Maybe it’s a bidding war. Maybe he said make your best offer and I’ll decide when I get home. Would rather we had the final impression.

 

[GVol1966]

So who’s next on the list.?

Wouldn’t get your hopes up

 

[DaddyChad]

Ugh. This will turn into a send me your best offer situation. Hard to outspend Oregon and Texas.

Nike and oil money will be hard to compete with.
But if he is delayed here for a few days by this impending snowmageddon, hopefully he develops Stockholm syndrome and just stays.
Money can't compete with acts of God.

Man, y'all really always jump to the worst conclusion, huh?

After his visit last year, Jermod McCoy went to Texas A&M (his home state) and still committed to us over them. We are competitive NIL wise with guys we truly value.

Sounds like we nailed the visit

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

Why do people think Tate or Wingo are gonna enter the portal?

Because those 2 are the only "splash" type players left that are not in the portal and can't be discussed.

 

[go33rdo]

lots of flight delays in texas. i wouldnt be suprised if he doesnt get there. that is unless he drives

 

[TrippieRedd]

let’s blow AP up and ask if he’s still here or if he left

 

[Teeman]

Idk about that. Texas loses two OL to eligibility, and a third in Banks if he declares for the NFL. Their backups are a lot like ours. Redshirt sophomores and freshman. I'll be playing closer attention to the Texas OL tonight for sure.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Yeah they gonna sneak his ass to the bowl game and show him the time of his life.

Don’t let him get on the plane.
