Recruiting Football Talk VII

[peaygolf]

Is Nico starting, or something?

 

[MarcoVol]

It’s certainly a possibility, but isn’t his ex’s family affiliated somehow at Florida? Maybe it wouldn’t be a factor, but it might. And you’re right…he’d kill it there.

Florida looks to be somewhat of a lateral move from Ole Piss at this point too. Maybe the Gators would be his next step, but that certainly wouldn’t prohibit his interest in Bama if the timing was right. The only entity Lane is loyal to…is Lane.

UF is not a lateral move

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I think we score over 30 vs Iowa.

 

[Jack Burton]

Adam Sparks was just on Basilio. He confirmed that Nico was supposed to get more game time vs Vandy. That week he was getting more reps than usual, but once the game started they just didn’t put him in as quickly as originally intended.

UF is not a lateral move

5 years ago, I would have 100% agreed without hesitation. In the NIL world it's harder to say. We've seen Kiffin spend to what we assume is a high degree (we don't really know how much any of them are making) and we've seen UF lose an incoming freshman because their NIL couldn't come through on their promise.

It's possible for sure that the Florida NIL is larger than Ole MS, but I'm not certain. Either way if it's close to equal, I'd agree UF is better.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Agree to disagree?

Sure.
But I know a Bama Booster pretty well so I’m pretty confident

 

[knoxvol52]

I don't know why he would want to go to NFL, VolNation says NFL sucks..

 

['Boro-vol]

UF is not a lateral move

Not from a potential salary and recruiting standpoint…you’re right. But in current/ recent levels of success and national prominence it is.

Lane would turn all of that around…but I still believe that Bama is the Brass ring for him. He’d drop everything to be the Tides head coach. There is nothing more prominent.

 

['Boro-vol]

Sure.

I have no doubt that you do.

I don’t, so my opinion stands.

Ol’ Layla causing him trouble? I’d hate that. I just figure that this feels like his last year at Ole Miss with all of the chips being pushed in with that transfer all-star team he’s assembled. Combine that with the likelihood of Napier being fired mid-season with the schedule they have.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Feel like Squirrel is going to have a crazy game vs Iowa

I know Iowa has a legit defense

But something tells me we open up a CAN on them like last time.

They are slow corn people.

How did we get stuck discussing Lane Kiffin for pages in the Vols transfer offer thread?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Over or under 225 passing yards for Nico against Iowa.

Certainly a very likely possibility. Like I said though…I think he’d sell out his own mother to land the Bama job. He’s been to the promised land, and seen it first hand. Whoever gets him next better wear their cup…Saban won’t coach forever.

Just lucky I guess. Should we stop?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Over. . . 140 in the 1st half . Couple 60+ yd bombs.

Sounds like The Breakfast Bitch in San Diego.

I was super excited for the bowl game but now I'm super duper excited for it

The hype will go into overdrive. I’ll allow it.

You can run your account as you see fit, I guess. I just asked a question.

 

[cncchris33]

Would love to hear who people think the moon is?

Lane would not be a bad choice, if not Lane who? Kirby? Dabo?, Sarkisian? There is not a lot of proven coaches out there if you really think about. Up and comers maybe but who is the moon? Remember the Jimbo Fisher moon turned out to be a mirage.

Kirby Smart, Kalen deBoer, Dan Lanning, Ryan Day, Dabo Swinney, Jim Harbaugh, Lincoln Riley. Those are the "name" coaches out there, right now.

There are a few understated options, too. Matt Rhule may eventually work himself into that conversation if he can produce at Nebraska after what he already did at Temple and Baylor. Lance Leipold at Kansas and Chris Klieman at Kansas State are both lifers who have worked themselves up thru the ranks and been successful everywhere they've been. None of those are "moon" guys, though. Not yet.

I didn't say Lane would be a bad choice. In fact, I think he'd likely be the best mix of both good coach, recognizable name, and realistic choice.

Spent 5 minutes in the FF and immediately regretted it.

FYP
