'25 OG USC transfer Emmanuel Pregnon (Oregon)

[BarrythesnoUT]

If he’s leaving, he better leave soon. Already been snowing in Cleveland for an hour.

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's not on top of it, he's full of it

Give them NIL as well!

 

[Carp]

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

In the age of NIL and transfer portal, I don't think it's outlandish of a take to expect either 1 or both to enter the portal. They aren't their current teams Number 1 option and there will be someone willing to pay them to be their new #1.

 

[Carp]

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

So we've never beaten Oregon or Texas for a top recruit under Huepel?

Cancel those flights!

 

[Adam Sandler]

Earliest flight to Texas is 2pm with a stop

Yeah he ain’t getting out of Knoxville.

Go ahead unpack and get ready to learn Rocky Top buddy

Brame

 

[Pawleysvol]

Brame

Nico as well

 

[TrippieRedd]

He get stuck?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

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

Well that wraps that up then. We won't pony up what's needed to get him.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

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

There's a pretty good track record of why people react this way. If Texas wants this kid they will pay the money to get him and we won't get in to a bidding war. Just that simple.

 

[RockyTop411]

He has left campus and declined to speak, mentioning he isn't "in this for the headlines." Going to visit TX and maybe another school that's working to get him on campus. AP mentioned the SEC factor again potentially being something he likes.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So is this guy a one and done? Or does he have multiple years left to play? Because if he only has one year I don’t see how he is worth it.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Brame

Brame (Oregon), Nico (Oregon), Jordan Matthews (Texas) are some names off the top of my head.

From yesterday on the OM 247 board and their incredible homer of a mod:

"*** I ran into one of our fellow board members at dinner last night and wanted to know why I was not high on Ole Miss with OL Emmanuel Pregnon while others were. I said I would love to get him, but so would a lot of others. It now appears Oregon and Tennessee are the favorites for the All Big 10 selection. He is at Tennessee on an official now. I know of no plans for him to visit Ole Miss yet."

 

[TrippieRedd]

Okay McGhee Tyson, don’t let him on that plane

 

[Rushin Orange Collusion]

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.

Maybe OSU will beat Texas’ ass!

Didn’t say it was impossible but yeah you’re going to spend heavy there. Again I’m not one that has said we’re cheap; we go out and spend sometimes heavy. Just going to be hard vs those two; probably the two hardest ones to out NIL there alongside Ohio State.

 

[AstonRoyal]

I mean from top of mind I can think of losing Wingo who went to Texas and Utu who went to Oregon.

 

[PowerT.]

Emmanuel Pregnon has left campus and chose to not talk. He said he wasn’t in this for the headlines. TN showed him he is a priority but he is going to Texas and has another school that he wouldn’t name trying to get him to visit. I do think the SEC thing is something he likes the idea of based off our short interaction.

We beat Oregon from Brame.

After last year with McCoy literally visiting not long enough to grab a coffee and still choosing Tennessee hard to read into how these portal visits go.

I think Heard was here about 4 hours on his visit last year.
